On the eve of the trip to Lyon, Luis Enrique presented himself with a surprisingly calm discourse despite the turmoil affecting PSG since the defeat against Bayern Munich.
Deprived of Hakimi, Dembélé, Nuno Mendes, and with a series of uncertain or fatigued players, the Parisian coach refuses to dramatize the situation. He reminds that injuries are part of football and states that there is “no urgency” for the winter transfer window, while assuring that he has “complete confidence” in the available players.
Luis Enrique believes that the reaction of his group after the setback against Bayern is positive. He says he has found a locker room that is affected but far from defeated, and assures that the difference between Paris and Munich was “very small.”

Luis Enrique also praised Warren Zaïre-Emery, whom he describes as a “leader” capable of playing anywhere on the field, and he mentioned Kang-In Lee’s 100th match, which he sees as a symbol of the player’s progress.
