On Monday, Paris Saint-Germain took on Seattle Sounders FC (2-0 video highlights Seattle Sounders/PSG) to book their place in the last 8. Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke to PSG TV about the victory.
Enrique “The real competition starts now”
“I’m satisfied, of course. It’s not easy to play this type of match. The condition of the pitch is not what you find in Europe. We need to know how to deal with that and the pace, but I think we were better than them and deserved to win the match.
This is a competition where you have to be ready to go to Atlanta, Philadelphia or anywhere else. We want to go as far as possible and I think the players are ready. The real competition starts now and it’s going to be very tough. We’re motivated!”
Whether it’s the weather conditions, the time of day or the state of the pitch, all these details have an impact on the Parisian team’s performance. Going for victory on Monday was anything but easy, not least because of the fatigue accumulated since January.
But the Parisians got the job done and won without too much difficulty. The win takes PSG through to the last 8, and above all, to the top of their group. The Parisians’ Club World Cup adventure continues, with Luis Enrique’s men set to meet Palmeiras in the Round of 8.
