"He still jokes to me", coach Luis Enrique's confession about a star of PSG

This Sunday Paris Saint-Germain will face Olympique Marseille at the Parc des Princes, looking for a victory that will allow them to get closer to the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Last weekend they suffered an unexpected defeat against Nice that prevented them from being leaders of the tournament, but now they will have the opportunity to recover.

It will be a difficult match for the Parisian side, as they will face their main rivals in France, who have had a good start of the season. They won 2 games (2-1 to Stade de Reims and 2-0 to Brest), drew 3 (2-2 vs. Metz, 1-1 against FC Nantes and 0-0 vs. Toulouse FC) and have not lost any. However, in the last week they have had problems and coach Marcelino Garcia Toral resigned.

As usual, the day before each match Luis Enrique gave a press conference and analyzed the clash against Olympique Marseille: "Classics are matches that motivate especially the fans and the club, but we are going to prepare for them in the same way as the others. We have to manage our emotions, we mustn't overdo it”.

He was then asked if he is concerned that Paris Saint-Germain are too reliant on goals from Kylian Mbappé, who has scored 8 times in the team's last 4 games. His response was, "Blessed worry to have Kylian who averages about 50 goals a season and 25 assists."

He doesn't want to remember it

An unexpected moment happened during the press conference, when a journalist asked Luis Enrique about Azzedine Ounahi, Olympique Marseille midfielder, who shone with the Morocco national team at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. There they eliminated Spain, which at the time was coached by Luis Enrique. About this the coach said: "He is an international player. For us it is not a great joy to talk about that game, but nothing happens either, it was a match played to the maximum, in which Morocco fought, defended very well, in particular Ounahi, who did formidably. Hakimi was also in that group, and he still jokes to me about that game”.
