PSG is set to face an OM team in the midst of a crisis. What could be better for Marseille than beating PSG to restore their image in front of their supporters?
This PSG-OM Clasico will be tense and perhaps more challenging for PSG than previous encounters. The OM players are likely to be more motivated than in recent years, especially with strong pressure from the Ultras. PSG coach Luis Enrique knows that this match will be unique.
« When you arrive at a club, you quickly realize which matches motivate the supporters, the players, and the club. We experience it and prepare for it in the same way, but we pay attention to the emotional aspect, not just individually but collectively as well, » said Luis Enrique on Saturday.
« When they played against Ajax, they had a good match. In Ligue 1, they still haven’t lost. I hope we will see a better version of PSG, and we can be superior to our opponent, but they are of a very high level, » he added.
« It’s a somewhat special circumstance. But it happens often. Opponents facing us have different attitudes. It’s true that we analyzed OM with Marcelino, but we also did it with Abardonado. We expect them to repeat some things from the last match, but also to change their strategy. »
