Luis Enrique: Liverpool has three fighter jets, and I will accept that
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique appeared at a press conference to talk about the match against Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16.
He began his remarks: "I am convinced that we are still capable of improving. This match is an opportunity to show that we are at the required level! We love to look at statistics, and our statistics match those of any team in Europe!".
He continued: "Is tomorrow's match a turning point in your season? Yes, it can be a source of motivation. It is hard to imagine a better match!".
He added: "Are there some points you agree on regarding Liverpool? Yes. Of course! I have been here for two years, and I am conveying my playing ideas to the players... and my ideas only!".
He emphasized: "It will be a complete and difficult match. We need the ball to impose our style of play, and they do not need that. Every coach wants to give their best effort."
He stressed: "It will be a tough match! There is a difference between the two teams; we need the ball to impose our style of play, and they are capable of creating danger with the ball."
He followed up: "Is Paris Saint-Germain the favorite? We are happy to see optimistic people, and our fans support us. We welcome all positive comments!"
Regarding the lineup for tomorrow: "The selection will be difficult. Some deserve to be in the starting lineup but will not play, but the team comes first; everyone will play their role, and our attackers are very good and can play in any position."
He concluded: "We have to be careful not to suffer from their ball transitions; they have three fighter jets in attack, and it is not easy to stop them if we do not impose our style of play on them."
He finished: "Tomorrow's match will not determine who qualifies; if we lose at home and then win [and qualify] at Anfield, of course, I will accept that."
