Paris Saint-Germain defeated Angers 1-0 on Friday at the Parc des Princes in the second round of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After the match, Paris coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference.
Enrique: “I congratulate my players for not talking about the condition of the pitch.”
“I think it was a very positive result. We already talked about how difficult this match would be. They are an opponent that defends deep, and they did just that, which made it difficult. But the worst thing was the condition of the pitch, which made it even more difficult.
To get that feel for the ball, we need a good pitch, and that wasn’t the case tonight, but I congratulate my players for not talking about the condition of the pitch. They played with confidence to win this match. We deserved this victory; we played a very good game.”
Enrique: “That’s in the past, we have to think about the future.”
“I’m happy, it’s a very different start to the season. We have to quickly forget about the five trophies we won. That’s in the past, we have to think about the future. We want to fight to win them again. That’s our ambition, our goal!”
Enrique: “It’s a special moment for Gigio.”
“It’s always nice to see the support from the fans. I understand that it’s a special moment for Gigio. It’s hard to deal with, but it’s nice to see this moment of recognition. It’s nice to see that!”
Enrique: “Fabian had another very good game.”
“I think Fabian has shown all Parisians over the last two years that he can play very good football. He had another very good game, he scored a goal, he was close to a double, which is important for him and for the team.” “
Enrique: “I’m the penalty taker.”
“Who’s PSG’s penalty taker? (Laughs) It’s me! Don’t worry! I’m the penalty taker. I’m the one who decides, because I’m the boss. We have a lot of possible penalty takers.”
