Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique attends the pre-match press conference against Marseille.
We prepare for this game in the same way as any other game, but the emotional factor also affects the fans. We must channel this energy in a positive way.
We saw a change in Marseille's game against Ajax. They have a good attitude and I hope we can do better on the pitch. ”
Is there Mbappe dependence?
This is a matter of concern. If we have a player like Kylian Mbappe, who usually scores 50 goals, it's ridiculous to think he can't keep those numbers. What we need is for him to improve and for his team-mates to contribute better. ”
About Marseille vs Paris can catalyze the emotions of the fans
When we come to a club, we quickly realise which games are particularly motivating to fans, players and clubs. We experience it and prepare for it in the same way, but we clearly perceive the effects that emotions bring. ”
On G-Ramos and Muani, two new signings
I have high expectations for all the players. What we expect is to be a team that is efficient both offensively and defensively. We look at the stats, but the assists are also important.
The same pattern goes for the team at the start, we have to pass the ball well to the attackers so they can finish the game. I can't just focus on the players who score, there are also players who need to help the team press. ”
About Marseille
When they played against Ajax, they played well. In Ligue 1, they haven't lost yet. I hope we can see a better PSG and we can surpass our opponents, but Marseille's performance is at a very high level. ”
On who will start the team's forward line
That's why I'm a coach and I see the players in training and evaluate the players. I know who's going to play tomorrow, but I don't know who's going to play (again) next.
It will depend on the level on the pitch, but also on a week of training. As a club, we wanted a big squad. I would manage it, always thinking of a common goal. I also like to keep important players on the bench to make them more competitive in the team. ”
About the change of the system in Marseille
It's a bit of a special case, but it happens a lot. Our opponents have different systems, but we did analyse Marcelino's Marseille, but we also analysed Arbadonido's Marseille. We want them to repeat the tactics of the last game, but also to anticipate their potential changes. ”
About Marseille midfielder Ounahi
He's a fantastic international. It's not a big fun thing for me to talk about this game again [Spain vs Morocco]. Morocco defended well in that game, especially Ounahi. Morocco also has Achraf, and he's still making fun of me with that game! ”
About Vitinha:
I can't analyse last season because I didn't quite see it. But Vitinha is important to us. He plays an important role.
Finally, I hope that at the end of the season, I can say that every player has brought something to us. Vitinha adapted very well to what we asked of him. Sometimes he had to be more in a drop-back position and couldn't make too many pounces. But he has a very high level of skill. ”
