On August 22, Paris Saint-Germain coach Enrique attended the pre-match press conference ahead of the match against Montpellier.
Talking about the opponent
Enrique said, “Montpellier still has the same squad as last season. They are a team that can cause us trouble both at home and away. Playing against them is difficult because it’s the start of the season. But we want to win tomorrow, and we hope our fans will be happy tomorrow. That is our goal.”
Feelings about returning to the pitch for the new season
Enrique said, “I hope to repay the unconditional support from our fans, which we have already seen in our first away game this season. I want to bring good football to them, even though there are tougher moments in a season. But together, we are stronger.”
Gonçalo Ramos’ absence
Enrique said, “Unfortunately, Gonçalo is injured. It’s regrettable, but it doesn’t change anything for the other members of our team. I have full confidence in every player on our team.”
The position of center-forward
Enrique: “Usually, center-forwards touch the ball less because they are primarily there to score goals. Number 9 players like Randall Kolo Muani or Gonçalo Ramos take on more of a goalscorer role, or players like Lee Kang-in and Marco Asensio. There’s also Bradley Barcola, who can all play in this position.”
