French defender Lucas Hernandez is well aware of this. Currently in the French team where he faces Iceland this Monday evening, the Parisian defender took the opportunity to grant an interview to the newspaper The Parisian.
An interview where he discusses the new status of PSG which will be the target to be taken down by the biggest clubs of the Old Continent. “ In the Champions League, we will be expected everywhere, unlike last season, where our difficulties in the group stage took the focus away from our opponents a little. There everyone will want to pay for the European champion. In the 21st century only Real Madrid has succeeded itself. We will have to respond presently. We’ve been working on it pretty well since September,” he blurted.
Hernandez fan of Luis Enrique
Now relegated to the substitutes' bench since last season, Lucas Hernandez intends to return to Luis Enrique's starting 11 with a string of good performances. The French defender is a fan of the Spaniard's method despite playing time not living up to his expectations at the moment.
“Luis Enrique strived to establish rigor and do everything possible to have the most efficient group possible. On and off the field, he brought his high standards and his attention to detail,” he said. The Frenchman could also start the match against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 this Saturday evening as part of the 8th day.
