“Mikel Arteta almost murders me”

Luis Enrique appeared at the ‘Flash Interview’ of Movistar Champions League to Dar, Euphoric, his first impressions after the victory against Arsenal and the pass to the final against Inter, on May 31.

Sensations: “A cluster of feelings. Mikel Arteta almost murders me. All the balls have managed to stretch. The team shows that it has a lot of race. We have managed the first part doing the counterattack.”

Semifinal: “The game they have raised was adapted to their level. It is a very worked team. A game that did not go well. We deserve to be in the final. We were the team with the worst calendar of the Bombo 1. I think the team has continued believing in itself.”

Inflection point: “Manchester City’s day lost 2-0. I tried to convince my team. I told my Players that with 1.9% effectiveness, we will surely approach good numbers. For statistics we were the best of the four.”

Givenong: “How are you going to win a Champions if you don’t have a great goalkeeper. In a team of this level you can’t get less.”

Barça elimination: “Barça has made six goals and if someone tells him that he is going to do six and will fall eliminated, you do not believe it. They deserved to be in the final. For me to play a Champions League final against Barça it would have been the worst.

To the final: “Too much emotion! The arsenal played very well. We had to defend, but we had the opportunity to make some counterattacks … very difficult. It was not the game we wanted.”

Party: “We had to strive more to find solutions; it was difficult. But we had very clear chances. The first part was painful.”

Victoria with suffering: “We try to gain confidence. when a player sees that the game is not normal, it is the time when he thinks he has to go back to defend. But it is contrary; we must press. But in the first part it was difficult. We suffered.”

Later, the coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique, attended the media at a press conference.

What made the difference: “I think that, in terms of passion, of intensity, the game has not disappointed in any case. I think that Arsenal has come to win the game clearly, he has taken the game where they are very strong. And we have played a game that we did not want to play. You have to adapt. We have suffered and we have played a first part that we do not want to play. The arsenal represents complications. We have been well in the transitions, we have made a goal. It has been more disputed. ”

Fabián: “We are a team that normally we have more ball than the opponent, is to have it and it is one of our goals. Fabián cheats a lot. He has very long strides. Today he has been able to support the team with an impressive goal. Since last season he is at a very high level. When you have problems you have to get your best version. Fabi has been here for years and perhaps thought that when we arrived it was not going to be important. In the previous European it was the best European. It brings many things with and without ball.

The PSG tournament: “I think that, throughout the competition, and here I defended it many times. It is evident that what he sends is the result, but in the group stage, in the league, we deserved nine more points. What would have led to a different moment. The fact of having such a strong and complicated group has also served for the team to grow and improve. We have been out of the first 24, which was a bit unfair. Goals, I think they showed numbers, without effectiveness, of the best teams in Europe.

If what has happened in the second season is logical: “There is no logic in football. The first day I sat in front of you told you that we wanted to do the job in order to make history. And it is the goal. Being the first to achieve the long -awaited trophy, for a project in which I feel very comfortable with the president, with Luis Campos. Now it is a very nice time to thank our fans to support us independently of the results. to the PSG ”.

The final of the champions: “It was not a lie. Everyone wants to win the Champions League, the 36 teams, and they always win a very small number of teams. Our goal is to make history. We want to be able to do it, this is a club that deserves it, also the fans. If we are capable, we will try every year. That is the goal.”

Arteta said that Arsenal was the best team: “I do not agree on everything. Arteta is a great friend, but I do not agree at all. They played well. They played in the way they wanted to implement. We scored more goals than them. The Arsenal did well, we suffered a lot. I think it is the game in which we have suffered the most. We deserve to be in the final. They are a great team too, but I repeat, we scored more goals. In the second half it was a different game.

Dembélé management: “Dembélé has made a great effort to be in the game. That he has been and that he could play half an hour has been a great effort. I do not like to risk players and much less such imbalancing players. Players with a lot of speed to play football. We have been all the very intelligent parts, but the final part, which is a key part, we have not risk Dembélé.”

Inter: “It is the second final in two years. It is a team already made, very few changes. Same coach, same mentality. Italian team that plays very well with and without ball. Team that dominates the actions to the stop Let’s face as always. ”
