Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke to Canal + after the 0-3 win over Brest (video highlights Brest/PSG) on Tuesday at the Stade du Roudourou in the Champions League 2024-2025 play-offs. He was full of praise for his squad and the team’s collective spirit, and had no intention of burying Brest before the return leg.
Luis Enrique “As a coach, I’m very happy to have a team with this dynamic”.
How did you manage to convert Dembélé’s decisive goal ?
I didn’t convert anything. It’s Ousmane who’s confident. It’s thanks to his partners too. He scores a lot of goals because his team-mates give him decisive steps. Ousmane is often well placed. At the moment, he’s very prolific, which we’re delighted about. But I think we need to highlight the safety passes. I think it’s very important that we keep this mentality. As a coach, I’m very happy to have a team with this dynamic.
Luis Enrique: “It’s obvious that Brest won’t give up”.
How are you going to approach this second leg ? Are you going to manage ?
In the last five meetings with Brest, we’ve led twice by two goals and they’ve come back to score each time. This play-off isn’t over yet. They’re a team who are somehow capable of finding Ajorque and causing us problems. It’s obvious that Brest won’t give up. Tonight was a good result, but our aim is to win the Champions League and we’re going to do everything we can to do that.
