Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, spoke at a press conference after the 4-0 victory over Inter Miami (PSG/Inter Miami highlights) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday, in the Round of 16 of the 2025 Club World Cup. These comments were made before Bayern Munich’s 4-2 victory over Flamengo.
Enrique “The second half was different, but we did very well.”
How do you feel after the win?
“I must say we feel very good, we started the game almost perfectly, with possession of the ball, we created a lot of chances and scored. The second half was different, but we did very well. I’m very happy.
Will the vacations come late? Any preference between Flamengo and Bayern?
I’m not interested in vacations. We need to think about recovering for the next game and whether we’re going to face Flamengo or Bayern. Prepare for this match in the best possible way and stay focused. Obviously, I have no preference between one or the other.”
Enrique “We’re familiar with these games against defending teams”.
Did the defeat against Botafogo serve as a reminder?
“The game against Botafogo was closed, and in its surface with 10 players. Eleven with the goalkeeper, and they defended very well. We’re familiar with these games against teams who defend with eleven players. Today we saw two teams who tried to play good soccer.”
Enrique “the best player for me was Ousmane Dembélé”
“Hakimi golden ball?
I already spoke about it yesterday, the best player for me was Ousmane Dembélé. As for the rest, Ousmane was able to play the last 30 minutes of the match. It’s normal that he’s not yet in peak physical condition.”
