Because it can be hard to motivate everyone, particularly the one who are less involves. But, I ffeel very lucky because my players are responding in the best possible way and turning in top level performances. Which is making the team better and it is very important. Willian Pacho is ready and fit to compete tomorrow."

Q: On the importance of set pieces against Arsenal

Luis Enrique: "We will prepare the same way we did against Liverpool, a team that has the same or even higher potential than Arsenal in this department. All the teams in the French league are very good from set pieces. So we will not plan our game thinking about this, of course we need to be competitive in every sector of the game, and we will prepare the same way that we did against top teams, specialist in this sector.

"I think this sesason and last year we continuously change our way to take set pieces offensively. We use what we think is best whether it is short or long corners, direct or indirect free-kicks, so we do what we think is the most dangerous for our opponents. And since last year, I think we scored on many occasions and this season too."

Q: On the "Titi" earning more minutes recently and his management style with them

Luis Enrique: " It depends on what they need, at the end of the day, my kids are older than Senny Mayulu, Ibrahim Mbaye, Warren or Désiré and all the youngsters we have. I think that my child are already grown so I player more the role of aa father figure with them, but I vary.

"If they need a hug I give it, if they need an advice I give it, and if what they need is to be corrected, then I am there as well, of course I am demanding with them. I expect a lot from young players, if you have the opportunity to train and play for PSG, there is just a few able to have access to that.

"And I know that the youngsters that we have at the Campus have a good mentality and it is difficult for them, it is not easy. I would love them to have more minutes but to play them, I have to take out high level players. I repeat that there is no manual, to follow. If they make mistakes, of course I will be there to help them. And on the pitch, what they need is support."
