Lens/PSG – Transfers, Trophée des champions, Luis Enrique speaks | OneFootball

On Sunday, during the 2026 Trophée des Champions, Paris Saint-Germain will face Lens at Stade Bollaert (kick-off at 8:45pm, live on Ligue1+). On the eve of this match, Paris coach Luis Enrique answered several questions at the press conference.

Enrique: “We continue to work with the president and Luis Campos”

We learned this morning about Ferran Torres’ arrival. How does it feel to see him here in Paris?

“I’m happy, of course. I think he fits perfectly with what we want. With his mentality, I think he is a very good match. We continue to work with the president and Luis Campos, and we always want to improve the team.”

Do you feel the need to improve in the goalkeeper position?

“We are looking to improve the team. But that does not mean we do not trust the players in the squad. Everyone thinks it’s important to change teams that do not win. But to keep winning, you also have to make difficult decisions. To always maintain that mindset and improve the team.”

Enrique: “Tomorrow we are going to play a difficult match”

Even though there has not been real physical preparation, your players are responding well. Can that mentality help against Lens, who have had better preparation?

“I’m not doing anything special. It’s each player’s profile. The sporting management and the whole club are looking for players who adapt to what we want. And that has nothing to do with the physical aspect. Tomorrow we are going to play a difficult match. The most difficult away match in the league. So we will once again try to win this trophy. It is an important trophy for us. We are ready.”

Can we expect squad rotation tomorrow?

“I don’t know. I have to speak with my wife to find out who is going to play.”

Four new signings have already arrived. What role do you play in those recruitments?

“My role is normal. There are a lot of players who want to come and play for PSG. But for us it is difficult to find players who adapt to what we want. There are very high-quality players who do not adapt to what we want. But these players wanting to join us is a very good sign for us.”

Enrique: “I prefer a player who matches our mentality”

How can a coach still evolve when everything is going very well?

“It’s easy. When you have the experience to know that all moments, good or bad, do not last. They are very short. We always want to keep winning. I prefer a player who matches our mentality rather than a player who is happy simply because he is signing for PSG.”

How many players would you like to see arrive before the end of the transfer window?

“We will discuss that at the end. I’m happy every time a player arrives. There are so many different stages. We are trying to improve, and at the end of the transfer window we will be able to talk about it.”
