Luis Enrique is now much more friendly with journalists. Good results facilitate his task.

Even if Le Havre gave him a hard time this Saturday during the 30th day of Ligue 1,
Paris Saint-Germain was still imposed
(2-1) at the Parc des Princes. At a press conference, Luis Enrique did not turn his pleasure.

“I am very satisfied because I have made a lot of replacements, several players who were not on the field (at Aston Villa). So it was really a match that asked for tranquility, concentration. The players did it very well from the start with a really impressive rhythm with and without the ball. So I'm very happy ”, said the Spanish technician.

To motivate his troops against Aston Villa in the Champions League, Luis Enrique had no trouble. “This is something that even my grandmother could do, he quipped. But a match like this, a match that obviously does not have a motivation apart from the record (of invincibility) that we are also looking for, it is much harder, do you understand? So that's what I want, and it's all the adrenaline that I wanted to go to my team. And it's a very good evening that we have lived today. »»
