Luis Enrique: "We love the Coupe de France"

The Paris Saint-Germain coach spoke to PSG TV about this weekend's Coupe de France tie at Orléans.

Orléans

"Unlike Revel, Orléans are a professional team. It's a dangerous competition, you can be knocked out in any round. We have analysed a team that isn't in a great position in the league, but they have proven capable of going through several rounds of the Coupe de France. They're a team with good attacking movement and strong forwards. It'll be a different game to the one we played in the previous round. The Coupe de France is a competition we love, it's our aim to win this trophy."

THE PLAYING CONDITIONS

"If all the circumstances around this match were normal, I would say that I could give our youngest players opportunities. But given the state of the pitch, I'll decide tomorrow. I hope the pitch will be good. I want the fans to see a good match, but above all that there's no risk for the players. I'm preoccupied by the physical danger to the players from both sides."

Gonçalo ramos & Randal kolo muani

"It's true that Gonçalo lost weight due to a virus. Fortunately, he's been in good health for a few weeks now. My decisions are clear, and I can say that Gonçalo and Randal are forwards of very high quality and I'm very happy with both of them. They are present and, I hope, the future of the club. I'm very happy we were able to bring them in this summer."

Carlos soler

"When I see a player who is able to play well and to understand what kind of situations you have to control in terms of your use of the ball, it's very good. We have a lot of players like him who can play in different positions. Carlos Soler is a top quality player. It's clear that I have confidence in him, but he can still improve, and that's what I expect from him."

Bradley barcola

"I have always talked well about Bradley, even when he wasn't scoring goals. He's still the same player that we like a lot: in terms of his technical ability, his youth...For Bradley but also for all the attacking players who play in wide positions, I think that we can see the improvements they have made in their defensive work. I'm very happy about that."

THE SQUAD'S YOUTHFULNESS

"I handle that with a lot of patience and a lot of information. As coaches, we're demanding, we always want to pass on our ideas on the pitch, but it's difficult. Football is a difficult sport. But I see that the team and the players have a real determination to put our style of play in place."
