Metz v PSG: Luis Enrique on Safonov, team spirit and academy kids | OneFootball

Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (2nd), was at a press conference this Friday before facing Metz (18th) at the Stade Saint-Symphorien tomorrow (kick-off at 7 PM, broadcast on Ligue1+) as part of the 16th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. Alongside this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.

Luis Enrique “What we like is that all the players are ready.”

Can Safonov's performances challenge the goalkeeper hierarchy?

What we like is that all the players are ready. Safonov has shown that he is ready, he is in a very good moment. And this is very important for the team.

Is it essential to be able to count on everyone?

This year particularly, because we have had more injuries. But not more than other teams and we have shown that we can overcome these difficulties to achieve results.

Luis Enrique “You must know when coming to PSG that the club gives opportunities. But, you have to show a lot of quality and personality.”

A tricky match against the 18th?

It's the coach's job to know that when you play against an opponent at a time when they are low in the standings, it's always a difficult match. You have to know how to attack against a rival in a low block. It's only 3 days after the last match and the 3 points are very important.

More young players on the field?

They are all already with us! (laughs) They are important for us. You must know when coming to PSG that the club gives opportunities. But, you have to show a lot of quality and personality.
