Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique appeared before the press on Friday 16 October 2026, discussing Saturday's Ligue 1 Matchday 7 fixture away to Strasbourg, which kicks off at 17:15.
“We prepare for every match in the same way because we want to win them all. That’s a clear objective for us and for the players. We aim to play well and create chances, and we know that the three points are crucial. It’s a great kind of pressure to have.”
“It’s very busy, playing every three days. It’ll be tough; Strasbourg are a different sort of team – they’re very young and have a lot of quality. They’ll want to show what they’re capable of against us. We had a training session this morning, but we needed to recover properly. We want to go out and get another win to get back into the top three on the table. We’re on a good run and we want to keep it rolling.”
“Whenever we put a team together, we plan for the short, medium and long term. We try to gauge how each player is feeling after every match. And we base our work on that too. We just know that our aim is to field the best possible team to go and take all three points in Strasbourg.”
“You know his character well. He’s also an international player. Whatever his personality, what interests me most is his footballing ability. He’s had a very good start to the season; he can play anywhere and I’m pleased with how he’s settled in. I don’t pay too much attention to how many goals he scores, or the assists; above all, I see that he’s putting in some fine performances."
“For me, he’s a key player. But you can’t play every match in a season. He’s a potential first-team regular for us. However, there are always factors beyond our control over the course of a whole season.”
“It’s simple. You’ve got to run a lot and play attractive football. It’s never about age; it depends on your qualities and your mindset. You’ve got to attack and defend as a team. It’s as simple as that!”
