Luis Enrique: "We want our fans to be proud of us"
The Paris Saint-Germain coach answered questions from PSG TV and the media ahead of Matchday 26 of Ligue 1 against Montpellier Hérault SC on Sunday 17 March at 8.45pm at the Stade de la Mosson.
MONTPELLIER
"We want to keep improving. It won't be an easy game, it's never easy away from home. We need to be focused. We're fighting to win titles and win every game. We want to continue our good run. It's true that we've drawn three games in a row in the league, but I'm not worried because we've also been very good in the Coupe de France, in the Champions League and at Monaco. We're not looking at the points difference, we just want to be champions as soon as possible. We want to fight for all the titles and at Montpellier, who will be playing in front of their fans, it will be difficult."
DYNAMICS
"I don't care whether we're favourites or not. I've passed on my confidence to the team, and I think we'll be better, with the experience of the players in this competition. We have the same ambition as at the start of the season. We want to continue with this idea, so that our supporters are proud of us. If someone beats us, we'll congratulate them. I can put anyone on the pitch on Sunday and they'll be ready. That's our biggest advantage."
BARCELONa
"I'm very happy! It's a very special feeling for me. Paris and Barcelona are two teams that have played each other several times. We've been lucky because we're returning to Spain and we Spaniards love our country very much. I'm returning to the city where I spent a large part of my career, so that's good news. We knew we were going to face a top team. We'll have to show on the pitch that we deserve to go through."
ACHRAF HAKIMI
"Achraf Hakimi has been very consistent throughout the season. He's a player with unique potential. My standard is to demand more from the players in my squad. I try not to worship the best but to demand even more. I have to protect them more. Achraf is having a very high-level season. Sometimes he hasn't played, but he knows why and he's smart. He's a player with a lot of energy. In attack, he's unique, there aren't many right-backs in the world who play like him. He still needs to improve, but I'm very happy with him."
