The head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique, spoke at the press conference before the team's match against Olympique Lyon in the twelfth round of Ligue 1, confirming that the team is going through a positive developmental phase and that the ambition is high despite the difficulties.

Luis Enrique said: "After analyzing the Bayern Munich match in the usual way, I believe we did many things well. Yes, we suffered at some periods, but it was one of the biggest matches we have played. There are many positive aspects we can build on to move forward. We always have to know how to extract the positives and appreciate what we achieve accurately and fairly. I am very happy with what the players have shown during training this week, and we see from the results that we are constantly evolving. Our focus now is on the future, and we must continue to move forward steadily."

Regarding the youth academy, Enrique added: "At Paris Saint-Germain, we have amazing facilities, and this reflects the club's ambition for development and success. We have all the tools that give confidence to young players, and it is important for us to maintain a strong connection between the first team and the youth academy."

About the match against Lyon, the Spanish coach confirmed: "We want to win this match against a strong team that has a distinguished coach. I love the way they play football, and their stadium is amazing, and the atmosphere will be special. We are excited to take on this challenge and will play in our usual style to achieve victory."

On the state of the team, Enrique said: "I am very motivated because I love challenges. It is an exciting time because we need to find solutions to the problems we face, but I am optimistic. We must accept that such circumstances are part of daily life in football at the highest levels."

Regarding the team's confidence, the head coach continued: "I love to see the players' reactions after a loss. When you enter the locker room after a defeat, you can analyze a lot. I notice how they train and how they deal with the situation, and I am very happy with what I see. The match against Lyon will be a great opportunity to show our identity as a team, and we enter it with great ambition and confidence in ourselves."

About Kang-in Lee, Luis Enrique stated: "In big teams, there are many important players. Gonzalo recently played his 100th match, and Kang-in Lee could reach this number against Lyon. This is a significant number and shows how important he is. He knows he can improve more, but we are very happy to have him with us, and I am glad he has reached this achievement."

About Zaire Emery, the coach praised his young player, saying: "Emery is a very important player for the team and for me personally. He is different because he always shows his quality regardless of his psychological state. He is mature and always ready. It is wonderful to work with him. He is a true leader and shows everyone how a player should behave even in times of downturn. He has been and continues to be a role model."

Enrique concluded his statements by talking about Senny Mayulu, saying: "Senny has participated a lot and benefited from injuries, but he is a versatile player and can play in several positions, so he does not need his teammates' absence to get an opportunity. This is a great advantage for us as it makes it difficult for opponents to know his primary position. Senny is also a role model. We know we will see a different team in the match against Lyon, and this is one of our main strengths."
