Rennes/PSG – Luis Enrique opens up on preparations and Ligue 1's level | OneFootball

Luis Enrique, Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach, was at a press conference this Saturday ahead of facing Rennes at Roazhon Park tomorrow (kick-off at 8:45 p.m., broadcast on Ligue1+) as part of the opening matchday of Ligue 1 2026-2027. On the sidelines of this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.

Luis Enrique: “we’ve had time to prepare the team. What I’ve seen is very positive”

You’ve had several days for rest and preparation, how was it?

It was a very good week. We started the season with some difficulty, playing 2 matches, 2 finals, in 4 days. This week, we’ve had time to prepare the team. What I’ve seen is very positive, with intensity. We’re preparing in the best possible way, and I’m very happy, really.

Excited to have competition in Ligue 1?

From what I’ve seen over the last 3 years, it’s not an easy league. We’ve been consistent, we’ve been better than the others, but last year we saw a very attractive Lens side that was difficult to beat. We also saw Ligue 1’s appeal in Europe. We hope that continues, and we still need to keep trying to improve.

Luis Enrique: “We have a team that motivates the opponent”

How do you see the match against Rennes? Do you need to get back into shape?

It’s like usual away from home, with the stadium and what it means to play against us. We have a team that motivates the opponent, even more so this year. It will be tight, it will be difficult. We still need to improve. We played very well at Lens, the result doesn’t show it, but football is sometimes unfair. We have to stay focused on what needs to improve. We’ve worked hard, and we’re happy to play tomorrow.

The supporters’ backing?

It’s beautiful to see so much love!
