Luis Enrique Discusses Upcoming PSG vs. Brest Match

Here is what Luis Enrique had to say on Saturday the day before Brest Match in Ligue 1.

**Vitinha**: “Vitinha is a player who can play as a winger, in the center, or even as a striker. When Vitinha plays on the wing, he needs to know which spaces to occupy and other aspects that I won’t publicly disclose because it’s not in our interest for other clubs to know. Several players can do it, Ruiz, Soler, Lee, Zaïre-Emery, but Vitinha has done it more. For me, it provides a lot of options.”

**Lee**: “We have high hopes for him because we know what his qualities are. He has very high physical qualities, both in defense and attack. He can bring us a lot of things. With his versatility, he can play on the left, on the right, in the middle, as a false nine. It’s very exciting as a coach.”

**Liberated after Milan?**: “What is clear, a goal is a boost of morale for the team that scores and can bring down a team that concedes, regardless of whether they work with a NASA psychologist or otherwise. A team that concedes, no matter what they do, is suffering. On the other hand, a team that scores is excited, full of desire. Matches change all the time because of these actions. It’s not related to a psychologist; it happens all the time. Having a psychologist on the staff is for players to work with them confidentially. In the 21st century, those who don’t work psychologically to understand what it means to be a professional player are wasting potential. In general, players everywhere pay close attention to this.”

**All matches are equal**: “The difficulty we have is that I’m not going to complain about coaching international players. The three points against Marseille against a high-level team are the same as against a lower-ranked team. All matches are worth the same points. We have to manage the game so that we are better, have more goal-scoring opportunities than the other team. It’s my job, especially to manage the lineup with the players who are the most motivated and prepared.”

**A tricky match?**: “All matches are tricky, especially at a particular time. We play away, so it will always be difficult. It’s a team that hasn’t lost at home, defends well, crosses a lot, knows what to do. They are a very tough opponent for us, especially after a Champions League match that motivated us a lot.”

**Ramos**: “What you see from Ramos is what the staff asks of him. We need the number 9 to come in support so his teammates can take depth. He moves very well. It’s true that we’re not a team that makes a lot of crosses, given the type of attack we have. Maybe we don’t see Gonçalo’s best qualities, but he and Randal Kolo Muani do fantastic work. Asensio, Barcola, and Lee can also play in that position.”
