When your team is winning, you are already on cloud nine and it holds specifically true for the manager and other elites sitting on the top position, coz it is them whose jobs are on stake should their team fails on the field. Barcelona, who has always been one of the strongest on European front, won their last game against PSG and easily entered into the last sixteen of the Championship league and manager Luis Enrique is way too happy to see his army of world class players are not letting him down particularly all three South Americans who shared one goal each in the last triumph. Though, it was German club who opened the tally for his side when former Barca striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic found the net on the right time but then it was the turn of Messi, Neymar, and of course, Luis Suarez who ended their joy in no time. With the recent win, Camp Nou side has now won eight matches in a row across all competitions with seventh straight qualifications to the last sixteen of UEFA tourney.
Had it been against any other side, Spanish manager would have not been so happy but since it was against Paris Saint-Germain and that too after trailing by one goal, blaugrana coach feels like he is ruling world! Praising the trio of Messi, Neymar and Suarez, he said in the post-match news conference, “That is good news for them, and for the team. For me as a coach the motive to be happy is that the team won. Although of course for forwards it is good to be on the scoresheet.
“We had control of the game from the start, even though they scored first. We knew where we could do them damage, where to find space, and where we could get our decisive players into the game. We wanted to accumulate as many players as possible in attack, to try and unbalance the opponent. We gave up some chances, but against this type of opponent, that will happen. We are stronger when we can use different shapes. To sum up, a very good night for us. “
Adding about the gameplay and strategy they have until been following, he said, “Apart from the model we use, the football philosophy is the same, to look for passing lines, and to attack and defend as a block. The team not chosen thinking of what the opponent can do to us, but how we can do damage to them. That is how we choose the model of play we will use. This makes us more unpredictable for opponents.”
