Tensions with Mbappé, PSG Progresses, System Change? Luis Enrique Ahead of the Match Against Metz

Luis Enrique held a press conference on Tuesday ahead of the PSG-Metz clash at Parc des Princes on Wednesday night in Ligue 1.

**Everything is fine with Mbappé.** “As always, a perfect relationship. We’re not in a couple, but mostly because he doesn’t want to (smile). I don’t know why you keep asking me this question; I am very close to most of my players. We have always been very close with Kylian. He makes jokes, always laughs. I also like to laugh. We have a very good relationship with the rest of the players.”

**Which system against Metz?** “For tomorrow, I won’t say what we’re going to do. I liked what we did. Our goal is to be unpredictable for our opponent. I like players to get out of their comfort zone, move out of their position. I am satisfied with what I saw in Lille.”

**PSG progresses.** “It was a real thought on my part and a hope that over the months we continue to progress. I am completely convinced of that. If I am wrong, I will be strongly criticized, but I don’t care. I have been criticized all my life. It’s my role. I see the team improving, many things are very well done. There is one match left this year, and I would like us to offer a victory to our supporters.”

**Champions League Round of 16 draw.** “I am happy because I really wanted to go back to Spain. We hoped to go back to see our loved ones. We know the Real Sociedad very well, but also their coach, their supporters, and the city, which is one of the most beautiful in Spain. They finished first in their group ahead of Inter, the finalist. It will be a very difficult match for us.”

**Kang In Lee.** “He is a player who may be a bit unknown to those who didn’t follow the league. He is very important. He has played on the right and left wings. He has technical abilities, sacrifices himself for the team with so much predisposition. He is funny, nice; he has everything to please.”
