PSG coach certain his side will bounce back from shock defeat by Botafogo
-
PASADENA - Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique believes that his team are more than capable of turning their fortunes around when things do not go their way.
The Champions League winners suffered a shock 1-0 Club World Cup loss to Brazilian side Botafogo on June 19, in a hard-fought battle between the champions of Europe and South America.
A first-half goal from Brazil international Igor Jesus proved the difference as Botafogo all but sealed a place in the knockout rounds in front of a 53,699 crowd at the Pasadena Rose Bowl.
Enrique said his team had expected a tough battle.
"We knew it was going to be a very difficult match - they defended very well," the Spaniard said.
"This Club World Cup is very intense and difficult, and all the teams are highly motivated, especially when they're playing against us."
He insisted, however, that PSG still had plenty of time to resurrect their campaign.
"If there's a team that can turn it around, it's our team," he added. "We've got to analyse this and there's things we can improve. But I think our performance was good."
