Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique has compared Arsenal's ability from Set pieces to Liverpool and is not planning to spend extra time on the flows of the routines of the Gunners
Luis Enrique has deposited any concern about the set piece of Arsenal's threat and suggested that he will prepare his Paris Saint-Germain side for the Gunners as if they were a different team. PSG will make the trip to the Emirates next week while the teams compete for a place in the Champions League final.
The French champions will be confronted in the third consecutive round English opposition after they have already sent both Aston Villa and Liverpool. Arsenal and PSG met during the group stage of the competition and the North London side came away with 2-0 winners.
On that night proven goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka the difference. The latter scored a number of bodies after his curly free kick, before he bounced past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
However, Enrique sees no reason for concern and believes that Liverpool is the same threat to a dead ball. “We will prepare ourselves in the same way as we did against Liverpool,” Enrique said when he was questioned about the threat of Arsenal Pose of Set documents.
“Liverpool is a team that has at least as much potential as Arsenal, if not anymore. Aston Villa also had a great potential in this area, just like most Ligue 1 teams. We will not prepare our team based on this aspect of the game in particular. But it is clear that we have to be competitive everywhere.”
However, Enrique's confidence in Liverpool's set pieces can be out of place. Despite a dominant run to be about champions, the Reds have not been a radiant example of bravery in that area.
For each Wiverpool, Liverpool scored only six times from Set pieces during the 2024/25 season, in contrast to Arsenal's 13. Only the lower three of the Premier League and Fulham have scored less.
Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot Calculate time, however, is the most important difference between his side and the results of Arsenal.
The Dutchman said: “The work we have done is that we have trained a lot, we have had many meetings about it, we try every time to improve the details and I think it is normal for a coaching staff that is only nine or 10 months with that team that it is not from the first week.
“I always say that if I analyze an opponent, if they have their set pieces perfect, I know that the manager has been there for a long time, because you normally start releasing the ball from the back and how you can defend and all these things, and the end of that process is set pieces.
“And I think Arsenal is a good example of which Mikel [Arteta] Has worked for so long and they are so good in all the different phases of the game and now they have become world class on set pieces. “
