“Fight” – Luis Enrique delivers speech to PSG players ahead of Chelsea match | OneFootball

PSG manager Luis Enrique has reportedly already delivered his speech to his players ahead of facing Chelsea tomorrow night.

The Blues travel to Paris to take on the French giants in the first set of knockout games in the Champions League, with the second leg being back at Stamford Bridge next week. Chelsea will feel they have the advantage being able to play the second leg at home, but going to PSG and beating PSG over two legs, will be no easy task.

Enrique’s players are feeling nervous though apparently, and Chelsea can certainly look to exploit that.

What Enrique has said

Luis Enrique on the touchline managing PSG.

A report from L’Equipe, claims Enrique has already given his speech to the PSG players.

In his speech to his players, he reiterated the confidence he places in each one and the optimism he feels ahead of what he calls the “key moments” of the season.

“Honestly, everything is calm. Just like at the same time last season, right before facing Liverpool, our message is the same: stay united, fight for each other, and don’t let up.”

It’s claimed that some players have been doubting over the past few weeks and haven’t hesitated to make it known.

Chelsea could well be in a good spot to take these lot on then, by the sounds of the above at least.

Saturday was a good day for Chelsea left backs – Jorrel Hato had a good game and Marc Cucurella returned from his hamstring injury to help Chelsea beat Wrexham 4-2 in the FA Cup after extra time.

Hato might be needed for another important game this week – it all depends on what the physios say about Marc Cucurella.
