Enrique: We are full of motivation for the national derby and we must use our strength to calm the away atmosphere

September 21 At 2:45 am on September 22, in the fifth round of the Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain will play against Marseille away. Paris Saint-Germain coach Enrique attended the pre-match press conference.

Do you have enough time to prepare for this French national derby?

It doesn't take a lot of time to prepare for this kind of game, because everyone is eager to play, everyone is ready. We know how important this game is to our fans and we are full of motivation.

Is the gap between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille continuing to widen?

I don't know, especially in the away game, it's always difficult. We must keep calm as usual. We have to go there and play well and try to do better than our opponents. As for the level of the two teams, it is still difficult to evaluate at the moment, because the season has just begun.

Who is under greater pressure at the moment? Are you still Marseille coach Dezelby?

Dzelby, me, players, fans... We are all under great pressure, it is a special game. It doesn't matter which side is more favorable, we have to play an excellent away game, especially when facing Marseille.

The home atmosphere in Marseille is very lively. You have experienced many stadiums as a player and coach. Can you give a ranking?

I will not rank any stadiums and cannot make a comment. But as a coach, what I like is seeing us use our strength to "silence" a hot away game. We have played in many impressive away games, especially in European competitions. Usually, the sound we can hear is more from the 3,000 or 4,000 PSG fans going away, while the opponent's fans are quiet because we control the game. This is what we want to try to continue to do and control the game. It will be difficult because Dezelby is an offensive coach who also likes to take control of the ball.

Marseille goalkeeper Ruli said they will face the best Paris Saint-Germain in history. What do you think about this?

This is difficult to evaluate, and I am not interested in it. This kind of discussion is more suitable for summer beach vacations, when you have time to think… and we are now focusing on improving ourselves. As a coach I feel satisfied as a coach, we need to keep working hard to keep going.
