Coach with two Champions League titles open to managing Sporting | OneFootball

In anticipation of the match against Sporting - which is awaiting the official announcement of a new signing -, which will take place this Tuesday, as part of the Champions League, Luis Enrique, PSG's coach, showered praises on the Alvalade Club.

"Maybe one day, who knows?", said the Spaniard. "I really like Sporting. It is a very well-coached team, which won the double last year, this year has 10 points in the Champions League, and is in second place in the Portuguese league standings".

The coach anticipates a tough game: "The game I expect is an exceptional, beautiful one, against Sporting, which is always challenging, has quality players, and likes to have the ball. It will be very difficult. The goal is to win and practically secure qualification for the round of 16", stated the Catalan coach.

"I really like what they do with the ball. They have the personality to play from the back. The personality they showed by going to Bayern's home and playing face to face, they were ahead for a long time", he recalled. Thus, the Spanish coach expects "to face a very complete team, which knows how to play very well, with and without the ball", so the PSG players will have to be "alert and motivated, because it will be very difficult to win this game".

Moreover, he mentioned that he would like to see the lions reach the final: "I hope it is a Sporting that wants to play, as I have seen in recent games, that likes to have the ball, that takes risks, that will contest the game to win, and that will make the game more interesting and more competitive. I hope Sporting advances from the group stage and reaches the final", emphasized the Parisian coach.
