PSG-Real Madrid: "They are on a new plan while we already have two years of work," analyzes Luis Enrique

PSG-Real Madrid: "They are on a new plan while we already have two years of work," analyzes Luis Enrique

The Parisian coach gave his opinion after his team's performance against Real Madrid on Wednesday in New Jersey in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid "are on a new plan" while PSG "already have two years of work," said Paris-SG coach Luis Enrique to explain the gap between the two teams ( 4-0 victory ) in the semi-final of the Club World Cup on Wednesday. "They are on a new plan, they have played six matches, we already have two years of work, they are different situations," said Luis Enrique at a press conference, referring to the arrival of Xabi Alonso on the Madrid bench just before the tournament.

"They have six matches, they just need time and a proper pre-season, they're a team that hasn't had time to work and prepare, we can't compare," he insisted. For Paris, "it was a very good match, we created chances, we were able to score goals in the first 15 minutes, it was important to have more confidence, it's a great victory," according to the Spanish coach.

Luis Enrique relished the chance to lift PSG's fifth trophy of the season: "It's a goal we've had from the beginning, it's difficult to achieve, very few teams can do it, there's only one game left to write, to build history. A French club capable of winning all the trophies, the Champions League and the Club World Cup, that means a lot to us." He continued: "It's a pleasure to work in Paris as a coach, from the beginning I saw the support of the sporting management and the president to achieve our goals, and we didn't think we'd get such good results to be honest."

Has Ousmane Dembélé killed off the competition for the Ballon d'Or? "For me, for the Ballon d'Or, there must be certain prerequisites, not only goals and assists, but also to help the team win trophies. The player who has done all that is Dembélé, with a big gap to the other players. That's my opinion," replied Luis Enrique.
