Enrique: Our delay in the score was unfair, and I'm happy to qualify for the final
Luis Enrique, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, expressed his happiness at his team's qualification for the French Cup final after defeating Dunkirk 4-2 in the semi-finals, noting that his team did not deserve to fall behind by two goals at the start of the match.
Enrique said: "Football can sometimes be unrealistic; today, Dunkirk players crossed the midfield only twice in the first half and scored two goals from individual mistakes, which was unfair. However, football does not care about fairness, but rather about results on the pitch."
He explained: "My team showed great maturity, and we have the ability to turn any scenario around during matches. Dunkirk played with a compact defensive style, and at times there were ten players inside the penalty area."
He continued: "We made an important adjustment by bringing in Gonçalo Ramos at halftime, who is a player that excels at positioning in the penalty area, improving our movements and the speed of our ball circulation, and giving more freedom to the duo Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi, allowing them to make a difference on the flanks."
He affirmed: "We are not an invincible team, and we are not superheroes; football is not a perfect game, and we will continue to concede goals because perfection does not exist."
He concluded: "But we have great confidence in ourselves, and we always maintain the structure of the team and our strategy to achieve victories."
