On the eve of the verdict of the championship, Paul Le Guen has made his traditional press conference before a match. In comments reported by the club’s official website, the PSG coach called to discuss the match with strength, insight, motivation and control, hoping to gain or to avoid an uncertain pending the outcome of Lens and Toulouse..
While many journalists describe this game as a new final Paul Le Guen refused the comparison with a cup match: No, I do not approach it in exactly the same manner as if defeat, we are not safe to replay the same competition next year. The consequences of a misstep are more important and the pressure is thus more present than for a cup game.
Asked about the difficulty of preparing such a meeting, the PSG coach has preferred to retain the challenge that it constituted: [in my career] there have been other games at the highest level have been difficult to prepare. For one, the stakes are just different. This meeting is not simple to prepare but interesting. To impose on us we will address the meeting with strength, motivation, insight and control. This appointment is clearly very, very important. I think especially in the interest of the club and the expectations of fans.
Interest and expectation that the players were also aware, the ones who will be on the field and have the club’s destiny in their hands: My players look at the rankings, so they know the stakes of the game. I am a natural calm and I do not over-dramatize this situation. I want my men to be lucid and aware of the situation. I especially want to express themselves on the ground, as in past meetings, with envy and generosity. These are the basics. In any case, I hope they manage to free themselves.
