Luis Enrique Warns PSG Not to Underestimate Le Mans FC

Paris Saint-Germain is ready to host the recently promoted Ligue 1 team, Le Mans Football Club. Although it comes from the second division, it shouldn't be underestimated, and that is exactly what the club's coach, Luis Enrique, believes.

The Parisian club didn't start the season well. We are talking about a club that won the Champions League twice in a row, so fan expectations are very high.

Currently, PSG has six matches in Ligue 1, and in the first three, they seemed unable to finish their plays, drawing twice and losing to AS Monaco, until they finally started winning in the last three.

Many factors contributed to the change, especially now that the squad includes new players and it takes time to adapt; however, the players keep the spirit alive and are ready for Saturday's match.

Speaking at a news conference before the match against Le Mans FC, Luis Enrique discussed how the players returned from the international break.

When questioned about how he handles the return and adaptation of international players to the club, he explained that, in his view, the players returned in good form, and now that they will play at the Parc des Princes, he hopes to maintain the winning streak, but above all, the important thing is to reconnect as soon as possible among everyone.

Regarding the very irregular start of left winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Spaniard limited himself to saying he is happy to have a player of such a high level and that the situation does not worry him at all.

"Kvara has demonstrated his level since he arrived. He is a top-level player, and I am happy to have him. Players are not machines; they are human beings, and it is normal for the team and the players to have ups and downs. It does not worry me," he explained.

Regarding Desire Doue's performance, Luis Enrique praised the young Frenchman, noting again that ups and downs are normal; the important thing is always the willingness to enter the field of play.

"I am interested in what he always demonstrates: his ability to be ready to enter the match, whatever the moment, whether on the bench or on the field. That mentality is difficult to have, and I am very glad that he is prepared."

The 56-year-old coach held a lengthy press conference, during which he was also asked why he would rest Ousmane Dembele and Nuno Mendes and what he expected from the match against Le Mans.

"I always try to demonstrate that we are a team and that we have more than eleven players. Tomorrow will be difficult. Le Mans has demonstrated its level at the start of this season. They are brave; they can play without problems. It will be a match in which we will have to be more attentive than usual," Luis Enrique concluded.
