Eliminated in the Round of 16 by Paris FC (0-1), the Parisian club said goodbye to the competition on Monday night. A huge sporting disappointment, but which could paradoxically become an advantage for the rest of the season.
PSG is not too upset about its elimination from the Coupe de France. Yes, there will be no title this season in this competition, but the end of the season is lightening up for Paris. In a press conference, Luis Enrique did not hide that this defeat was not so negative for the club.
“It’s easier to manage when there are fewer matches. Matches put players in very good physical condition, but there is also the risk of injuries, impacts, struggles… There are more problems than in training.”
PSG in Better Shape for Other Competitions
The Spanish coach mainly sees this as an opportunity to better manage the playing time of his squad and limit physical wear and tear. Fewer matches also mean fewer risks for a group already challenged on all fronts.
Moreover, this break in the schedule should allow the staff to dedicate more time to tactical work in the coming weeks. This could turn a humiliating elimination into a potential lever to better prepare for the big upcoming events.
