After Paris Saint-Germain beat Montpellier 6-0 in Ligue 1, Enrique was interviewed by the media. He excitedly stated that his goal in coming to Paris was to make history.
Talking about the game, Enrique couldn’t hide his excitement: “It was a feast of attack and defense, wasn’t it? Yes, everything tonight was perfect. It was our reunion night with the fans at the Parc des Princes, both the sharpness of the attack and the solidity of the defense showed a very high level. You know, we haven’t had an official game in a long time, but tonight, everything came back.”
Enrique gave high praise for the team’s overall performance: “Tonight, you didn’t see one star shining, but 16 stars. We have done our best at both ends, this is the perfect I pursue.”
He particularly emphasized the importance of team spirit: “I have been trying to convey my coaching philosophy and what I see and feel to everyone, including our fans. We have a high-level squad, and what I need to do now is how to maximize their potential. Although the season has just started, I believe that as long as we maintain this momentum, we will be able to witness the team’s leap by the end of the season. I really enjoy working with this complete, versatile and ambitious team because our common goal is to create history.”
Looking back on last season, Enrique said: “We performed very well last season and I am very satisfied with that. Now we have played two games and everything is going smoothly from the start. I believe no one will deny our excellent performance in all the games last season.”
Enrique was quite cautious on the topic of the transfer market: “I will not comment on those players who are not in our squad for now.”
Talking about the team’s competitiveness, Enrique was confident: “The result of one game doesn’t determine our mindset. Our goal is to go all out and fight for victory in all the games we participate in. No one in French football has been able to achieve this feat. But we won’t get carried away with two wins, nor should we criticize our performance last season, which was a great season.”
Enrique gave full affirmation and encouragement to the young player, Barcola: “Although he didn’t have much playing time in the European Championship, that shouldn’t be the only standard for judging him. I have been following his growth and progress since he joined us. He has amazing speed and excellent defensive abilities, and more importantly, he has a strong desire to win and become a better player. I believe he will be able to contribute more to the club in the future.”
Enrique also gave high praise to the performance of new signings such as João Neves: “From their performances since joining the team, I think they have integrated well into our tactical system. They are not only technically complete and adaptable, but also capable of playing multiple positions. Their arrival has undoubtedly brought more vitality and strength to our squad.”
At the same time, he also affirmed the team’s improvement on the defensive end: “I think we already did a pretty good job in counter-pressing after conceding goals last season, but we have made further improvements in this area this year. Players are not only more actively involved in defense, but also enjoy it. This clear sense of purpose and team spirit allows us to better control the pace of the game.”
