Luis Enrique has had a rather poor record in terms of results in Ligue 1: two draws in two matches. It’s time to step up, and the PSG coach is well aware of that, issuing a warning to his players.
After drawing against Lorient and Toulouse, it’s imperative to perform better against Lens. According to Luis Enrique, this match will already be a decisive one.
« Lens didn’t start their season very well, but they’re one of the best teams in Ligue 1. I like their coach and their work ethic. They defend well and attack well. I consider this match to be like a Champions League fixture. It’s a pivotal match for both teams. I hope we can secure our first victory and celebrate with our supporters, but it will be tough. »
« We’re facing a very strong opposing team, and we can’t afford to give them any gifts. We need to bring intensity and speed to our game. We also need to be cautious against their intense pressing. Samba is very good. There are good connections between the players, a good relationship with the number 9, initially Openda and now Wahi. I appreciate the work of Franck Haise a lot. The keys to success will be managing the tension and delivering strong performances. »
