Enrique: Dembélé is a Player of a Different Caliber, and We Needed This Victory
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique appeared in a press conference after the 3-0 victory over Lille in the 18th round of the French league, in the match held at Parc des Princes.
The coach said, "It's a great feeling to achieve this victory, that's for sure! We needed to win; it's important. But we faced many problems because Lille played very well, especially at the beginning."
He added: "We identified a problem in the first half and wanted to fix it. We played a much better second half, applied more pressure, and it paid off. Today, we were lucky in a way we weren't in the previous match. The result today does not reflect the difference between us and Lille. I repeat, Lille played excellently."
He concluded about Dembélé's second goal: "It's an amazing goal from a player of a different caliber, a goal that resembles PlayStation-level goals. We want to enjoy Ousmane's performance, and I hope to see more of it this season. He can be a leader just like he was last season, and I hope he continues in this way in the future."
