The technician of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enriquewanted to seek “calmness” after the victory over Lille and with four days to go before the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real society. “Here I see that there is a lot of tension about the Champions League. It is not about having tension but about playing games with competitiveness and enjoying this competition,” said the Asturian.
“For two weeks we have only talked about the Champions League on television! Calm down, calm down! The team is going to be perfect, they are prepared, we are going to enjoy it,” he continued. Regarding yesterday’s match against Lille he said that it was “very complete, a match a bit like the one against Brest in the French Cup and this match against Lille is similar to what awaits us against Real, which allowed us to prepare,” insisted Luis Enrique.
The former Barça player says he has no ‘brutal’ in mind for Wednesday’s game. “I decide the starting eleven on the day of the match, after the last training session, I want to see it and choose it at that moment, I don’t know who will play against Real Sociedad,” he explained.
Asked about the state of form of Kylian Mbappé, who injured his ankle on Wednesday and recovered on Saturday, Luis Enrique said the French star “is good physically, we don’t want to take any risks.” “If it was a final that he played, on Wednesday he would be 100% without a doubt,” he added, adding that Marquinhos also remained on the bench because he received “a blow against Brest” and “we don. I don’t want to risk it.”
