Enrique: Vitinha's Injury is Not Good, and the Title Race Will Be Difficult
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique appeared in press statements following his team's 1-2 loss to Lyon at Parc des Princes, in the 30th round of the French league.
Luis Enrique said: 'Analyzing the match is very easy, we started the game trying to control, but we conceded two goals from the first two chances, and then we realized that things would be complicated.'
He added: 'We shot 23 times and scored only on the last attempt, and we missed a penalty again, which made the difference. We tried to change the pace of the game but did not succeed, Lyon played a great match and has players and a coach of a high level, we have to accept that.'
Regarding Lens reducing the gap to one point with one less game for Paris Saint-Germain: 'I don't know, it's simply like this, you wanted a more competitive league? Here you have it, Lens is having a great season, and the fight will be tough until the end.'
The Spanish coach explained that the pressure of matches was the reason for the rotation, saying: 'We changed six players, and we will continue to do so in the upcoming matches because we will play consecutive matches every three days.'
He concluded about Vitinha's injury: 'There is no positive news, when you have to change him before the end of the first half, that's not good, we will conduct tests and see what happens.'
