Luis Enrique: “Fight from start to finish”

The Paris Saint-Germain coach answered questions from PSG TV and the media ahead of his team’s Matchday 9 Ligue 1 match against Olympique de Marseille, scheduled for 8.45pm on Sunday 27 October at the Orange Velodrome. Here are some excerpts from the interview.

“When I look back on the game against PSV, I am very satisfied: we were more dangerous than our opponents and created a lot of chances. “I’m very optimistic about what I’m seeing and I think we’ll continue to improve.”

“Coaches have to adapt to the players available to them throughout the season: injuries, fatigue, etc. I’m happy with my team.” I have different solutions for the No. 9 position and I’m happy with them. The solution doesn’t lie with one or two players, ever. The solution is to improve as a team.”

“Last season was very good and this year we got off to a better start.” What I’ve noticed is that Monaco and Marseille have gotten better and I think that’s positive for the league. Now we’ll see what happens next.”

“He’s an exciting coach because he wants to put a lot of pressure on, get his players on board and let them play the way he wants.” He likes to dominate the game from start to finish. “I really enjoyed watching his team when he coached Brighton.”

“Usually the easiest way to prepare for the big games is in terms of motivation and excitement, but you have to be careful.” .”

“Depending on what I see and what the players tell me, whether in games or in training, and also depending on the needs of the game, I make the decisions that I think are best.”

“I’m not worried at all. I think it’s good that we create so many chances against almost all opponents. Of course we have to be as realistic as possible, but I’m trying to instill confidence in my players so that we can create more chances. I am very proud of her and her ability to fight until the last minute. “Of course I would like us to score more goals, but we are already scoring a lot.”

“We will try to live up to the expectations of our fans.” Before I came here, I had never seen such fans who were behind us from the first minute to the last. So we will be there too and fight from start to finish. “We know how important this game is for the fans, but we can’t let it put us under pressure.”
