PSG v Lens: Pierre Sage reveals what makes Paris so formidable | OneFootball

This Sunday at 5:15 PM (broadcast on beIN SPORTS) Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Lens (5th) at the Parc des Princes as part of the 4th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. In a press conference, Pierre Sage, the Lens coach, spoke about his team and the Parisian opponent, with its special asset.

Sage "Machado is out, we know that, and normally the rest of the team is available."

An update on the team?

Machado is out, we know that, and normally the rest of the team is available. It should be about 5 weeks for Machado. (…) Odsonne Edouard is in rhythm, we can field him this weekend.

Were you able to work as you wanted during the break?

We worked generally, some players were not there. We were able to integrate new recruits, into our way of playing. We had about 15 field players and 2 goalkeepers, so we worked well.

Sage "There are mechanisms in this team that are established."

What kind of match can we expect against PSG?

I will repeat myself, it is the best team in the world at the moment. Their style is to pose a lot of problems with possession, as they have a way of attacking that adapts to what the opponent offers quite quickly, without intervention or instructions from the coach.

There are mechanisms in this team that are established, it is the work of Luis Enrique, and they are acquired by all the players. It's a steamroller when it attacks. It's up to us to contain this and ensure it happens as little as possible during the match. We will need to be very good when we have the ball, so as not to give it away too quickly and be able to exploit it well. To attack as well.
