PSG/Lorient – Luis Enrique explains how he's approaching the match | OneFootball

Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (1st), was at a press conference this Friday ahead of facing Lorient (9th) at the Parc des Princes tomorrow (kick-off at 5 p.m., broadcast on beIN SPORTS) as part of the 32nd matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. On the sidelines of this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.

Luis Enrique: “What a level from both teams, from the forwards.”

How are you feeling a few days after that Champions League match?

“There are a lot of emotions for everyone. Tomorrow we go again because the league is still going on and the three points are very important.”

What do you take away from the match against Bayern Munich?

“In a match of this level there is always a lot of pressure. But when you play against this type of opponent it is even more difficult. Afterwards, I was able to judge and analyze the match. There are moments when we have to shut things down and... What a level from both teams, from the forwards.

A lot of the time people think the defenses are catastrophic, but we are the two best defenses along with Arsenal. This match was simply incredible for both teams. That is why everyone is talking about it. When you have this level in attack, it is very difficult. Hats off to both teams.”

Luis Enrique: “You have to win the three points by putting out the best team possible.”

What mental quality must a coach have for this kind of match?

“People may think that in this kind of moment you have to be excited. But if you are, you’re dead. You have to be precise, use your head. This match was incredible for the atmosphere in the stadium, the pace of the moves. But in this type of moment you need to have control. Sometimes it is impossible to have it, and that is why the supporters, journalists, players, everyone was tired at the end of the match.”

Do you need to secure the three points tomorrow while also preserving bodies and minds?

“It’s like Tetris management. You have to manage each case individually. All while knowing that you have to win the three points by putting out the best team possible.”
