November 23 – In the 12th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Toulouse 3-0 at home. After the match, PSG head coach Luis Enrique gave an interview to DAZN.
About the match against Toulouse:
“These matches are always special, and the first one after the international break is always difficult. But I think we performed well against a good team like Toulouse. Toulouse also played well, and I congratulated Carles Martínez (Toulouse’s Spanish manager) because playing against them is always challenging,” said Enrique.
What were your expectations for the match?
“We tried to rotate some players because some had long flights, and others have played many games. I always think as a coach, trying to get my players back in shape while the most important thing is to win the game. I think we deserved this victory, but we also faced some difficulties.”
Was the substitution of Zag at halftime due to tactical reasons or player fitness issues?
“This was player management. Zag performed very well in the first half without making any mistakes. I wanted him to rest a bit, but I am very satisfied with his performance. Sometimes it’s difficult to manage all the players, but today I am satisfied.”
How does the team feel before the match against Bayern?
“The match against Bayern is a very important one. There are four more rounds in the Champions League group stage, but from the first day of the season, I felt that our team has been in good form, and I am satisfied with everyone’s performance. This is football; there are ups and downs. We have played 16 official matches, and I am satisfied with the team’s performance. Let’s wait and see.”
