Enrique: The Support of the Fans at the Parc des Princes Makes a Difference
On the eve of the anticipated match between Paris Saint-Germain and Angers, as part of the second round of the French league, the Parisian club's head coach, Luis Enrique, spoke about the importance of the team's return to the Parc des Princes and the main challenges awaiting him during the match.
The match is scheduled to take place on Friday, August 22, at 9:45 PM Egypt time, marking the team's first home appearance after ten consecutive away matches.
Regarding the return to the Parc des Princes, he said: "It is very important for us to see our fans again and return to the Parc des Princes after ten matches away; we have missed the stadium and the audience a lot, and the atmosphere here always makes a difference, and now is the right time to enjoy their support."
On Angers' playing style, he added: "We know how difficult it is to face teams like Angers, which rely on defensive compactness and counter-attacks; it is a match that presents a challenge. In such cases, we need to shoot from long distances, and we have several options to deal with this type of opponent. Organization in attack and pressing after losing the ball will be key factors."
Regarding managing the start of the season, he continued: "It is essential for us to be a cohesive group during the first weeks; we are working on developing physically and tactically. The substitute players will be crucial, just as they were last season."
On the changes this season, he said: "Continuing to implement the good things that helped us achieve victories previously can be effective, but we need to be unpredictable and different again. It is not easy, but we are ready."
On Dembélé, he confirmed: "This season will be a real challenge for Ousmane Dembélé, as he was amazing last year. I am convinced that he can deliver his best; he has great attacking and defensive quality, and I always see him smiling."
The Parisian team enters the match against Angers with great ambitions to continue their positive results, relying on their technical stability under Enrique's leadership and the expected fan support in their first official appearance this season at their home ground.
