Enrique: I understand people want us to win 5-0 every game to win the championship, but that’s not realistic

November 10th: In the 12th round of Ligue 1 in the early hours of Monday morning, Paris Saint-Germain will go to an away game to challenge Lyon. Before this game, Paris Saint-Germain coach Enrique talked about the many challenges facing the team.

Regarding the injuries to Achraf and Nuno Mendes

I maintain a very positive attitude because I like challenges. It's a special moment as a head coach, but also a positive one. That's part of the road ahead, and that's what happens with high-level coaches.

As to whether injuries will make us reconsider signings in the winter window

We are always open to the transfer market. This is indeed a possibility, but it is not an urgent or worrying issue. We plan not only with the positives in mind, but also with the negatives. There is no problem at the moment, all teams will experience injuries. We are calm and very collected, and every difficult moment is an opportunity for other players to show themselves, which is a good time for the team.

About the team’s ranking in Ligue 1 and the Champions League

We rank first in Ligue 1 and also have a good ranking in the Champions League. Is there anything better than this? I understand people want us to win every game 5-0 and win all the trophies without conceding a goal, but that's not realistic. There were a lot of complications at the beginning of the season that we overcame, and they are the same now.

About the team's loss to Bayern in the Champions League

It's difficult to assess the impact of a loss, but I like to see the players' reactions after such games. By analyzing their performance in the dressing room and in training, I feel reassured because this is another opportunity to show our true team spirit. We will play against Lyon, who are playing very well and are coached at a high level. I want my team to show resilience and come together as a team through every problem.

About Barcola saying that he felt tired after the game

There would be no high-level game without intensity. We did a good job and that's why we rotated. Fatigue is normal when you play so many games. We have to manage ourselves, but this is not new to us. There were seven games between the last international break and this one, and there will be eight games between the next two international breaks.
