Paris Saint-Germain travelled to face USL Dunkerque in the French Cup semi-finals on Tuesday (2-4 video highlights Dunkerque/PSG). After a complicated encounter for the Parisians, PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke to PSG TV.
Enrique “Now we’re waiting to see who we’re going to face.”
“We’re very happy because it wasn’t easy with the two goals they scored in the first half. But I think we showed mentality and character. The team continues to enjoy these moments and we’re in the final once again.
It’s going to be important because we’ll be playing at the Stade de France. It’ll be a new one for me, because last year we played it in Lille. Now we’re waiting to see who we’ll be playing.”
It looked like being a trap game for the Parisians, who quickly found themselves 2-0 down against the run of play. Despite dominating, the Parisians managed to reduce the deficit before the end of the first half. The hardest thing for Luis Enrique’s men was to equalize, but once they had done so, the Dunkirk players were unable to get their heads above water.
This season, PSG look unplayable. With a bit of luck, a team can manage to take the lead, but it’s very difficult to hold on under such pressure and with such a cohesive team.
As a result, the club from the French capital have reached the final of the competition, which could be their second trophy of the season. A good stepping stone to the next round of matches, particularly in Europe.
