Nantes v PSG: Luis Enrique pulls no punches on media and squad | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 0-1 away to Nantes (video summary Nantes/PSG) this Sunday at the Stade de la Beaujoire as part of the 1st day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After this match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke to Ligue1+.

Luis Enrique "they are concerned all the time with physical ability, mental ability."

How were you physically?

I think it's a field that all journalists like because they are concerned all the time with physical ability, mental ability. It's the start of the championship and we've trained as much as we could. If I have to praise my players, I think we had a very good game and I'm happy

It's not normal what you're doing, always winning. What's Luis Enrique's method for this year?

Whatever the coach, it's our job to improve individually and collectively the team. That's my goal as a coach. Now, we're still missing the feeling with the ball and that's even more important than physical condition.

The players are young and ambitious and need to get back to playing with the ball to practice our game. For me, that's the most important thing.

Luis Enrique "it's the start, it's the first match, we're calm and confident."

A word about Zabarnyi?

I think the three players who signed are three players who will bring a lot of things. The players who played today, it was a very good level and we know them and we think they are players who can improve the team. It's the start, it's the first match, we're calm and confident.

Luis Enrique "we need all the players to be very motivated and ready."

Do you need a good complementarity to leave players on the bench?

We need all the players, of course all the players like to play important matches. But to win trophies and have the successes of last year, we need all the players to be very motivated and ready, it's a sine qua non condition to be a PSG player.

Luis Enrique "it's a different mentality to be out of our comfort zone."

Will you continue to do the same thing in your management of the players, or do you think it will change with what happened last year?

I think I will do the same thing, but to be ambitious I think we will need to change things, especially with the players who have signed. We will have other options and it's a different mentality to be out of our comfort zone and we will try to improve.
