PSG comfortably won against Brest (0-3) and has regained its smile. Luis Enrique, visibly relaxed at the press conference, did not hide his satisfaction.
The Parisian coach praised the outstanding performance of Achraf Hakimi, who scored twice. “It’s not hard to say he’s the best right-back in the world,” he stated, while also recalling that he had known Dani Alves at Barcelona. The Spaniard expressed that he is “very happy” with the quality of his squad, also praising Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and the young Pacho.
Dembélé is getting closer, Ruiz and Neves are having a drink
When asked about the injured players, Luis Enrique maintained his light tone: “They are at home, comfortably, with a bit of water… and maybe a beer!” he joked about Fabian Ruiz and João Neves. The coach also mentioned the return to form of Ousmane Dembélé, who came on during the game: “We don’t want to rush, he will be at 100% very soon.” The Spaniard embraces his rotation and his desire to involve the whole group as they approach a busy schedule.
“The championship is a marathon”
Despite PSG’s provisional first place, Luis Enrique refuses any triumphalism. “The championship is a marathon. We can start well, but we need to hold on for 42 kilometers.” Confident, the coach relies on consistency and recovery to navigate the season smoothly. With a group finally confident and a sparkling Hakimi, Paris seems ready to get the machine going… beer or no beer!
