Brest vs PSG. Luis Enrique puts on the pressure: “to win, not just to become first again”

On the eve of the trip to Brest, Luis Enrique made his intentions clear: no calculations. While PSG is 2nd in Ligue 1, just one point behind OM, the Spanish coach wants to reclaim the top of the league, but without losing sight of what is essential.

Luis Enrique wants to regain his throne, and in style. It will be against Brest that this will play out, with OM right behind. “More than that, the most important thing is to win matches. That is our only concern. Win in Brest, then in Lorient, and then at home against Nice.”

Hakimi, captain at heart and favorite for the African Ballon d’Or

Luis Enrique also paid tribute to Achraf Hakimi, who is in the running for the African Ballon d’Or 2025. “He is, without a doubt, the best right-back in the world. That’s why we are not signing anyone for his position. He plays almost all the time, and when he doesn’t, we have other options.”

The Moroccan, voted 2nd captain by his teammates, is described by his coach as a “differential player,” essential in the locker room and on the field.

Mentality, depth, and youth: Luis Enrique’s recipe

Always a proponent of a united collective, the Parisian coach emphasized the mentality of his group, notably mentioning Zaïre-Emery: “He has been sensational in the last two matches. He is a player I love, a young one with a lot of confidence.”

Speaking about the versatility of his squad, Luis Enrique sent a clear message to his attackers: “Barcola, Lee, Dembélé, Doué… they can all play as number 9. What we want is mobility, pressing, and the ability to score.”

The tone is set: no room for complacency, especially just one point from the top. PSG wants to reclaim first place, but above all, remain unyielding on all fronts.
