The Parisians’ coach on the eve of the Champions League match against the Rossoneri: “They are in great form, and they have a great coach.”
Luis Enrique is preparing to face Milan in the third match of Group F in the Champions League. “Milan is very strong and a great club that has always competed in top competitions,” said the Spanish coach in the pre-match press conference.
“Like all teams, they have their ups and downs, but in my opinion, they are doing very well right now. They have a great coach and play good football. That’s why they call this the group of death because everyone has a chance to advance.”
PSG have 3 points, Milan has 2, and both are chasing Newcastle in the standings. “We are happy with our position, and now we have two direct matches. We won’t know who will qualify until the end. These are two very important games for us because they will impact the circumstances of the remaining two. “
He also discussed his team’s playing philosophy: “We are a team that wants to attack and keep the ball. The message is clear: we need to attack more than the opponent, but we also need to defend well. We can always improve, but I see that our fans appreciate our style when they see the team win the ball high up the pitch. They love our pressing, and that we attack constantly.”
He then shared his thoughts on Gianluigi Donnarumma ex Milan goalkeeper: “We all have the opportunity to improve. Before coming to Paris, I knew that Donnarumma was one of the top goalkeepers in the world; I had already faced him as an opponent. Of course, he can improve professionally and personally. But he is already very strong, and I’m delighted to have him.”
Finally, a remark on Milan’s players and whether he would like to “steal” any of them from Pioli: “NO ONE, because they are Milan players, not PSG players. Milan plays with a 4-3-3 formation, they know how to play with and without the ball. Sometimes they have even changed their formation. They did it last year against Tottenham, if I’m not mistaken, and in the league as well. We will try to attack in the same way and potentially adapt to their changes.”
