Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference ahead of his side's Ligue 1 Matchday 12 clash with Toulouse, which comes after the international break.
'We need to get back into the swing of things as quickly as possible, so that we can get to grips with the matches that lie ahead and get back into the swing of things with the match against Toulouse, after an international break. The players who stay in Paris have individual sessions, so nothing is left to chance.'
'We know the coach well, he works well. They came and win at the Parc des Princes last season, so we're going to have to be ready and see how fit each of our players is. The match after a break is always special. You have to take into account the match we're going to play and the matches the players have played for their national teams. We have to take all that into account before preparing for the match ahead. It's going to be a tough game, they're on a good run of form, and I know we'll have to be up to scratch or they'll cause us problems.'
'The Campus is everything a coach could want. Everything is perfect. Everything is done so that the team can improve and work at its best. There are few training centres that are as functional. It's a real pleasure for me to work here.'
'Gonçalo Ramos is in the final stages of his recovery, so I don't yet know when he'll be available. He's doing well, training well with the others, but he needs to fine-tune his sessions before he can expect to come back. Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe are also going through this process. Ousmane Dembélé is doing well. He missed the France squad camp, but he's doing well and should be available.'
'In this squad, and I've been saying this all season, what I like is the ability of the players to play in several positions. We are more unpredictable for our opponents. Of course, a player who can play in several positions can expect to play more, but that's what we're trying to put in place.'
'He's still learning to play in several positions, but we've seen what he's capable of at his former club and with the U21 national team. He's still improving!'
'He's one of the best in his position. He's very professional, and he adapts perfectly to our philosophy. But he had also played at a very high level before Paris, in Italy and Germany. He's very important in the dressing room, he's growing here too, and in the national team. His professionalism is an example to us all.'
