Lyon v PSG: Hernandez reveals a surprising instruction from Luis Enrique | OneFootball

Lucas Hernandez, the 29-year-old defender from Paris Saint-Germain, stopped by the Ligue1+ microphone after the 2-3 victory against Olympique Lyonnais (video summary Lyon/PSG) this Sunday at Parc OL as part of the 12th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. He reflected on an area for improvement and a decision made by coach Luis Enrique at the start of the match.

Hernandez: "That's what we need to improve to string together victories."

The second half wasn't easy, was it?

Yes, it's true that playing here is never easy. To win championships, you have to go through moments like this, and that's how you win the championship. Overall, we played a good match even though there were two or three mistakes on Lyon's goals. In general terms, the team was solid, and the goal at the end of the match did us a world of good.

You were cautious with the deep balls, what did you say to each other?

No, I think Lyon played their hand well. Defensively, they were able to control, and we didn't put enough pressure, we shouldn't be so high and should be a bit lower. These are adjustments we need to make because these are not easy moments, especially when you're leading and they come back to score. That's what we need to improve to string together victories and win matches. And we're missing a lot of players, but those who were there were very present. What's important is taking the three points.

Hernandez: "That was mainly the first instruction."

Why did you clear the goal kicks today?

No, I think especially at the start of the match, we had this instruction from the coach to try not to play from the back because Lyon was pressing hard. We didn't want to take risks in the first 10-15 minutes. That was mainly the first instruction, not to take too many risks in the box.
