PSG v Aston Villa: Luis Enrique highlights his squad’s special strength

Paris Saint-Germain faced Aston Villa this Wednesday in the UEFA Super Cup (2-1 video highlights here). On the sidelines of the match, Luis Enrique, the capital club’s coach, spoke to PSG TV about the victory.

Luis Enrique: “All the players are connected, and that’s very important”

“It was a difficult match to prepare for. The players need rest, days with their families. But every time they put on the Paris Saint-Germain shirt, there is that connection with the supporters, and among the players themselves. What we showed again today is that despite mistakes and a lot of things still missing, we are the team we have always been. People always talk about the players who start the match, but it is very important to be ready to come on, especially in this type of game. All the players are connected, and that’s very important, because to win important things, you need everyone to be together.”

After their two Champions League triumphs, PSG have now won their second UEFA Super Cup in two consecutive years. Once again, the Parisians are writing their own history and that of French football. While they had only one Champions League title just two years ago, PSG have now brought home four trophies from Europe’s two most prestigious competitions.

It also sets the tone for the season ahead. With a reduced squad and little preparation, PSG still managed to lift a trophy at the end of an intense and hard-fought match. Luis Enrique’s men are well and truly back. The supporters can already enjoy this start to the season and dream of new feats in the months to come.
