Luis Enrique: "We expect a very lively game" | OneFootball

The Paris Saint-Germain coach spoke to PSG TV ahead of Saturday's Ligue 1 game against RC Lens.

POST-cup game

'When you play in the Coupe de France, you have to be careful. They're always tough games. I think the most important thing is to be ready for each match. What I've seen in training is very good, and we want to maintain our momentum.'

LENS

'This will be our third match against Lens this season. It's always difficult to play against them, and at their place too, because the atmosphere is incredible. But we have worked well, and we're going there with a lot of ambition and optimism. Each game we have played against them is different. They pressed more in the first game, they sat back a bit more in the Cup game. We know it'll be tough, but we're motivated at the idea of facing them again.'

THE MATCH

'We'll see a great game against Lens tomorrow, and they're always tough games every time we play them. We expect a very lively game, because it's always the case between these two teams.'

THE LEAGUE

'We absolutely don't consider ourselves champions yet. Marseille are seven points back, Monaco 10. The fixture list is very demanding. We have a lot of work still to do and absolutely nothing has been decided yet.'

BRADLEY BARCOLA

'I'm open to every possibility for the team as I always am. Bradley can play in three different positions: on the right, the left and through the middle. He has often played in several positions. He has that versatility, which I like. My goal is to use the players in the best interests of the team.'

THE DEFENCE

'We can play with two left-footed central defenders, we've already done that. The cliché is to say that you have to play with two defenders that don't play off the same foot. But it's not a problem for us. We are able to adapt if we have to.'

THE FIXTURE LIST

'I think we're on a good run. I know a lot of people are thinking about Manchester City. But we're thinking first about Lens, and we want to go into the Champions League game having won our previous game. We're completely prepared and very optimistic for what comes.'
