Despite the fact that he is far ahead in the Ligue 1 table, Le Classique still remains Le Classique.
While Paris Saint-Germain is the clear favorites to win on Sunday in the Parc des Princes, manager Luis Enrique has emphasized the cultural importance of the collision between PSG and for what he sees as an improvement of Marseille since the 3-0 victory for Les Parisiens in the Vélodrome earlier.
“The importance of the Classique was detached from the competition table,” Enrique said during his press conference for the competition, transcribed by RMC Sport. “There will be an even bigger gap if we win. I think that has changed since the first stage. I love the mentality of the Zerbi. His team orders on the field. He will fight for possession and press high, with one-on-one situations. The competition is not only emotional, but also tactical.
Marseille -Baas Roberto de Zerbi also enjoyed talking about his feelings against Luis Enrique in his press conference attended by Get Frans Voetbalieuws in the Vélodrome on Friday afternoon. “From my point of view, PSG has improved mentally, Luis Enrique has specifically mentally raised them – we can do the same.”
“This is why the mental aspect of the game is so important to me,” said the Zerbi before they train for various supporter groups and the press. “I really don't think that this season would have achieved the same results with another manager. I am not saying that I am better than other managers in terms of tactics, but one of my great qualities is not only to be happy with the good results, and always feel the feeling.”
