PSG v Nice: Luis Enrique on performance, Dembélé, Ramos, defence | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 1-0 against Nice (PSG/Nice video summary) this Saturday at Parc des Princes as part of the 11th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After this match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference.

Enrique "We did the job, we fully deserved the victory."

Did PSG accelerate in the last half-hour?

"I think if we do a little analysis of the match, we were a bit too relaxed in the first 30 minutes. The last part of the first half was better and in the second half, we played very well. We did the job, we fully deserved the victory."

Enrique "It's frustrating when you face a team like Nice because they defend very well"

Are you annoyed by playing against very compact teams?

"I am the coach of Paris Saint-Germain, I seek to improve my team. As for the rest, I am very respectful. I like attacking against low blocks because you have to be precise, but at the same time, there is no time and space. It's very difficult.

You have to make movements with the ball and without the ball, and there is a game of strategies that I like. It's the phase of the game I know the most. It's frustrating when you face a team like Nice because they defend very well, but it's normal, I understand everything. It's football, you have to know how to adapt."

Since the Champions League victory, are the players struggling to get into their match?

"No, you like to draw positive or negative conclusions, but it's the beginning of the season. It's nice to see many teams with many points, but it's not the time to draw conclusions, you have to know how to manage the different competitions we play.

I think we are in a good period. I would like to highlight that the supporters sang for 94 minutes and it's normal for us, as a team, to have the same mentality as our supporters and try to score until the last minute. It's very important for us, to further strengthen our mentality."

How do you judge Ousmane Dembélé's current form?

"Ousmane is a different player, it's beautiful to see him on the pitch, but you have to be patient, you have to listen to his feelings. Seeing Ousmane Dembélé on the field for 10 or 20 minutes is already exciting. We are satisfied with his evolution, we are not worried at all from that point of view."

Enrique "It's important for him, for the team."

What did you think of Gonçalo Ramos's entry into the game?

"He is a very important player for us because he is ready for every match, whether he plays or not. Five minutes of Gonçalo Ramos on the field are five minutes of hard work and quality. He scored the goal, on a very good cross from Kang-in Lee, a very nice anticipation from Kvara and a very good goal from Gonçalo. It's important for him, for the team."
