Used to short ball exits, Luis Enrique shook up his principles against OL (3-2). For this match on the 12th day, the Parisian coach asked his players not to take risks in the build-up play at the very beginning of the game.
Luis Enrique knows how to adapt to the opponent. Lucas Hernandez confirmed this on Ligue 1+: the staff wanted to avoid playing from the back against Lyon’s pressing during the first 10-15 minutes. The idea was to secure the initial balls before returning to their usual style of play.
An unexpected approach for PSG
“Especially at the start of the match, the coach asked us not to play too much from the back because Lyon puts on good pressure. We shouldn’t take too many risks in the first 10-15 minutes. After that, on the second ball, we were supposed to continue producing our game. But the first instruction was to not take too many risks in our area at the beginning of the match.”
