He Paris Saint Germain will face the return leg in Anoeta with half the job done after winning at the Parc des Princes 2-0, in a match where the Real society He deserves to get a good result.
So also Luis Enriquewho knows very well what it is like to play in the San Sebastian fiefdom, dedicated himself in the pre-match press conference to warning about the dangers of rivalry, although he is also confident that his team is ready to face the challenge and reached the quarter finals.
How would you handle a CHL game with your experience: “It is carried out with total normality. I think the setting is attractive enough, the city and the competition to live it with great enthusiasm and desire to play. We will have a special training session through doing it in the stadium itself. I’ll do it again if I really want to.”
What you expect from Mbappé in the game: “What I expect from the team is that they rise to the occasion and we are able to approach the game as we have done all season. It gives me confidence to see the team, we are clear about the objective to win the game. I am sure it’s going to be complicated.”
Which players respond best to games like this?: “I don’t trust experience or youth. I trust what I see in games and training. Many times I change the lineup on the last day if a player flies in training. But I don’t trust age or experience, that’s too little just telling me”
Work a little more on effectiveness: “(Laughs) The second leg of the Champions League is all difficult. Even with more favorable results than we have. It’s a good result, no doubt, but it can be tricky if you don’t go out with the right attitude, if you don’t go out prepared for complications and understand that they can score a goal. If you’re confused, you’re in trouble. We’re going to try to prevent that from happening to us.”
Nuno Mendes is available: “With Nuno we are doing the normal process, advised by the physical trainers. He could be a starter, without a doubt. Probably not to play the entire game. It is something that makes us very happy because he is a differential player in his position. With a defensive level and top offensive player. I’m very happy for him. Being injured for many months is delicate and difficult. It will be very good for us.”
Change of attitude towards Kylian Mbappé: “I think tomorrow’s game is so important for us that there are no more comments to make”
How it has strengths and weaknesses: “I think we have many strengths and we have improved. We have also improved the weak ones but they are part of normality. We are in a logical and normal process, after so many new faces, of that improvement process. I like to be demanding but I think that “It is the best moment of the season for us. It is a final. This leaves the team eliminated. I hope to continue growing in level and compete even better.”
What PSG should do better than the first leg: “If we do the same and Real do the same, it will be 0-2. I already sign it. But we already know that playing away from home includes variables. A goal can change the atmosphere. We want to be prepared since tomorrow it will be difficult because of the level of Real Sociedad, its coach, fans, atmosphere in Anoeta… But this is what we dream of, playing in this environment. We are going to have to be very good in attack and defense to win. And “Not to speculate, that’s my message. We’re here to win the game, although I have no doubt that it’s going to get complicated.”
