Two people were sent off but still eliminated Bayern! Enrique: Our non-violent team was surprised by the penalty

Luis Enrique: "We are not a violent team, so we were surprised by the referee's penalty."

After Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, Spanish coach Luis Enrique was interviewed after the game. He first expressed his concern for Bayern player Jamal Mussiara's serious injury: "I want to send Mussiara a blessing for a speedy recovery. He was very unfortunate this time, and Donaluma pressed his leg when he fell to the ground. This injury may indeed occur in high-intensity competitive sports, not out of malicious intentions. We are not a rough and frequent foul team, so we will be a little surprised by some of the penalty in the game."

He also added: "We accept the referee's decision, but do not agree with these penalty."

"It is difficult to fight with ten people, and ten to nine are like trying luck."

Facing a strong opponent like Bayern, the game process in Paris is extremely difficult. Enrique admitted: "Even if eleven is against eleven, it will be very difficult to play against Bayern; not to mention that we only had ten people left to fight in the game... The game almost became a gambling by luck." Despite this, Paris still scored the second goal with a counterattack to secure the victory.

Although Enrique prefers playing with the ball, he also admitted that the situation in this game is special: "We met the opponent who is closest to our style in the entire game. Next, we want to prove that even if we play one less, our lineup still has enough strength to deal with the challenges."

As for the opponents we may encounter next, he said: "There is never a shortage of surprises in the football world. We do not have particularly preferred opponents."

"The game is like a melee, but it shows team spirit."

Talking about the situation in the final stage of the game, Enrique described it as a "chaotic" scene: "This game is extremely intense, and we knew it would be difficult from the beginning. Both teams performed at a high level, and the scene was simply crazy. Both sides had a chance to win, but we showed great resilience. The same is true for our fans, and their support gave us strength."

He concluded: "We are ready for competition and demonstrated true team spirit."

This victory not only allowed Paris to advance to the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, but also allowed the outside world to see their ability to withstand pressure in adversity. How to continue to adjust tactics and respond to the pressure of personnel rotation in the next game will be a greater test for Enrique and the team.
