Living in the present moment, this is the philosophy advocated by Luis Enrique. During this Saturday’s press conference, the Paris Saint-Germain coach refused to plan for the upcoming clash against Manchester City in the Champions League. For the Spanish technician, his team’s only priority remains the match against AS Saint-Étienne this Sunday in Ligue 1.
Asked about Ousmane Dembélé’s statements after the victory against Monaco (1-0) during the Champions Trophy, Lucho did not hesitate to put the church back in the center of the village. The French striker, author of the decisive goal during this meeting, immediately mentioned the deadline against the Skyblues. However, the capital club still has three matches to play before hosting the English champion at the Parc des Princes on January 22. After the Stéphanois, the Parisians will face Espaly in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, then Lens three days later in the championship.
“We have to prepare for Sunday’s match as if it were a LdC match”
“I don’t know if he said that or not. Statements that appear in the media are not always completely reliable. What characterizes Paris Saint-Germain is the preparation for all matches. The only important match is that of Saint-Etienne. What happens next, we’ll see. We have to prepare for Sunday’s match as if it were a Champions League match.” he said.
“I consider that to be the greatness of our team, at least since I’ve been here. What will happen in the next matches or the next weeks are more words, sentences, clichés. The only important match for us, the only match we can really control, is tomorrow’s match.”explained the Asturian.
