Hupu News November 08: Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique attended the pre-match press conference for the Ligue 1 highlight match against Lyon.

Is there anything to worry about at the full-back position?

"I am very motivated because I like challenges. For me, this is a very special but positive period. You have to accept every moment and look for the positive. This is normal for top coaches."

Will there be new signings during the winter transfer window?

"We have always been open to new players, but we are not in a hurry or worried. We are weighing the pros and cons. There is nothing to worry about at the moment.

Although there are injuries, every club will encounter this situation. We have full confidence in the players in the team."

What are the positive aspects?

"We are first in the Champions League standings and things are going great. What could you want more positive than that? This is a very good position. We have overcome the difficulties at the beginning of the season. For me, there is nothing to worry about."

Have the players really improved since winning the Champions League?

"I like to see the reaction of the players after games like this. If I analyze their performance, I feel very relieved. Tomorrow will be another opportunity to prove that we are a really good team. Lyon is a very good team. I am very much looking forward to this game and full of ambitions."

What is the situation with David Boly?

"He will be on the team list, but we need to stay calm. There are many possibilities. Now it is time to show confidence to a few players. He will definitely play tomorrow."

What do you think of the situation in Paris after losing to Bayern?

"What I see is the pain of the players, just like every time I lose. I am always honest with the players. There are more positive aspects than I thought. Details determine success or failure.

We gave Bayern some small gifts, so the gap between the two teams is very small."

Talking about Li Gangren

"This will be his 100th game, and we will see how long he can play tomorrow. This is enough to show his importance. All players have room for improvement, and he is no exception. We are very happy that he can reach this milestone (playing for Paris Saint-Germain 1 00 games)."

About the referee wearing a camera

"Well, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to play my own style. I think if we can improve the level of football because of this, it is certainly a good thing."

About the two international matches. "It depends on the start of the new season. I am happy with the current record. I like to keep challenging myself. You have to stay focused. I hope all the players can return, but it is the same for all coaches. The final evaluation will be done after the season. Just For now, the situation is positive."

Reporter asked about fatigue of Paris Saint-Germain players

"Without intensity, there will be no high-level competition. So we have to rotate the lineup, and we have to know how to manage the rotation. It’s no different from what we’ve done before.

It’s like playing Tetris for the coach. You know, after the international break, we have eight games to play!”

On Zaire Emery’s return to form

“When he’s not in good form? It's all about confidence. He's showing his quality all the time. He's always ready, not by words, but by actions. "

About Mayoru. Best position

"He played a lot of games. At the beginning of the season, we had a lot of players injured. It is very important to have players who can play any position. We are a real team. It is difficult for opponents to predict which position Mayorou, Emery and other players will play..."
