PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – “Is the match against Lille a key moment of the season? Honestly, I don’t think so. I can accept that there are people who doubt this team, but I don’t understand them. Do you really think we’ll win every game, every trophies? We need to appreciate what we’ve achieved. We’ll be playing against a good team like Lille. It’s been difficult every time against them. We need to show the same face we had in the first leg or last year.” Luis Enrique is playing quietly and not making a fuss after the derby defeat against Paris FC, which sealed their surprise elimination from the Coupe de France.
The Asturian coach prefers to focus on their next opponents, who “are very strong. They play well with and without the ball, we always have difficulties against them. We need to be ready and win the match. We want to improve our league position.”
Returning to Monday’s match, Luis Enrique emphasized that “the line between victory and defeat is very thin. No one can say we didn’t deserve to win that match. We clearly deserved to win. But we lost and we accepted the result. I hope it’s a motivation for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, which are the most important competitions, even though we clearly would have preferred to advance in the cup as well.”
