Luis Enrique: "There are no easy matches"
Men's football•
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique gave his match-eve thoughts on the Ligue 1 Matchday 3 clash in Tolouse at a press conference on Friday 29 August 2025.
UCL DRAW
"It's the competition everyone wants to win. It's great motivation to start it as the defending champions. This format offers some big fixtures, and we'll have a few of those to play, probably more than other teams. There won't be any easy games for us. They'll all be very high-level matches."
TOULOUSE
"We're used to playing against teams that defend well against us. We have our own style of play, which means our opponents often sit deep. We hope to win, that will obviously be our goal. I don't know if Toulouse will play like that tomorrow, but I remember that last year we often felt like we were playing against teams that defended a lot against us. I don't think our status as European champions has changed anything. It was already the case before. We're used to it, and we're ready for it."
THE MATCH
"I expect it to be a difficult match, as it always is away from home. We expect them to sit deep and leave us very little space. They are on a good run, having won their first two matches of the season. We need to win this match because we want to continue on our path, which is well under way."
YOUNG PLAYERS
"We always try to give young players a chance. We also have a model of trying to put our trust in players from the youth academy. We want to develop this, but we analyse our needs very carefully, without ever forgetting that we have young players who can contribute to the team."
WARREN ZAÏRE-EMERY
"It's a real pleasure to have a player like Warren. He's incredible, and he comports himself impeccably. He just needs to continue to work hard and keep doing what he's doing right now. In a career, you can have ups and downs, but he must continue like this, because he has been, is and will be a great player."
