He Paris St Germain He has already revalidated his Ligue 1 title, but in what could be the best season in the history of the club, maintaining the motivation of his players is the most important at this point in the campaign, his coach declared on Monday, Luis Enrique. The PSG priority could be to win its first Champions League, with a semifinal against Arsenal ahead, and the club can also revalidate the France Cup against the Reims Stade in the final, but the league still has much to offer.
Luis Enrique's team can become the first team to remain undefeated in a season of Ligue 1, and avoid defeat against Nantes on Tuesday would allow them to beat the record of AC Milan of 38 games without losing away from home. “We are very motivated because we can establish the record of the European team of the five major leagues with the longest unbeatable streak away from home,” said Luis Enrique to the press. “We are very motivated because we want our undefeated title. As for the situation in the table, the Nantes is also very motivated, so we know how difficult it is.”
The coach has been able to rotate his starting team, making nine changes for Saturday by Saturday by 2-1 over the Le Havre compared to his champions League match against Aston Villa last week, which is key to getting the best of the entire team. “Without a doubt, that is the challenge we face right now and that is the challenge for the coaches. Because it can be difficult to motivate everyone, especially those who are less involved, but I feel very fortunate because my players are responding in the best possible way and offering a first level performance.”
Difficult physical and mental load management
“I would like everyone to have more minutes of play, but it is difficult because for this I have to prevent high -level players from playing.” In addition to involving the maximum number of players as possible, allowing them to rest has also been a priority for the club that seeks the triplet. “You have to manage the physical and emotional burden,” said Luis Enrique.
“That applies to teams that are very exposed and play every three days, so it may be difficult to have days off, and when a player is given a player it is crucial. I think we are one of the teams with the longest Christmas break. We had 10 days and we gave the players two free weeks when we could, and they knew how to make them the most.”
