PSG coach Luis Enrique was present this Saturday at a press conference on the eve of the clash against OL, in the closing match of the 15th day of Ligue 1. Here are his main statements.
The match against OL
“We know Lyon well. At the moment, it is an opponent who is in a positive moment, well ranked both in Europe and in Ligue 1. With quality players. So, it generates a lot of motivation and the desire to be up to the task. »
His relationship with Dembélé
“I have the same relationship with all the players. I am a trainer. I am not their father, brother or “bro”. I decide, I have to make decisions, I have no problem making them, the best ones for my team. Which means getting everyone out of the comfort zone, those who play more as well as those who play less. I've always done it in my career and I don't plan to change. »
Luis Enrique avoids question on Cherki rumor at PSG
Does he want to recruit Cherki?
“The danger for OL is if they are able to have the ball, in which case they have a very high level. Because they have very high individual player profiles. »
Barcola's complicated period
“Bradley Barcola has already been decisive in every match. You judge him on assists or goals, but football is a much more complex sport. A player can be key without scoring or making an assist. What is important is that all 11 players attack or defend together. That's the goal. After who wins the best player award, it is not important to us. What I said to Bradley and the other players at the start of the season: in the team, who scores, that doesn't interest us at all. »
Is PSG's ranking in the Champions League unfair?
“Who cares whether it’s deserved or not? For no one. This is our ranking, reality. We accept it and we think about how to turn the situation around. Fair or not…”
