Luis Enrique, the manager of Paris Saint-Germain, has admitted that Arsenal is a serious threat, especially at set pieces.
Although Luis Enrique has acknowledged this strength, he has made it clear that his team will not come up with a special plan to tackle this facet of Arsenal’s game.
PSG will “prepare the same way” as they typically would for any Ligue 1 opponent, according to Enrique.
Arsenal have demonstrated a formidable threat from corners and free-kicks during the previous two seasons, partly thanks to the expertise of set-piece coach Nicolas Jover, who has been credited with rejuvenating the club’s performance in these situations.
Manager Mikel Arteta will surely be looking to use this strength to his advantage once more as the Gunners get ready to play PSG in the Champions League semi-final next week.
Enrique compared Arsenal to another strong rival, Liverpool, in a press conference earlier today, April 21, to highlight the level of rivalry they face.
“Like we did against Liverpool, who are a team with at least as much potential as Arsenal, if not more,” he said, referring to strategy.
Enrique insisted, “We will not prepare our team based on this aspect of the game in particular,” even if he agreed that his team needed to be aware of Arsenal’s talents. However, we need to compete everywhere.
