Luis Enrique on The Mbappé Brothers and PSG’s Tough Match Against Metz

Following Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-1 victory against Metz at the Parc des Princes in the 17th round of the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 season, PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke to the media.

Ethan Mbappé’s debut with PSG. « I’ve liked his way of training for a long time. He plays with the under-19s, but he’s a very interesting player with a lot of personality. He can play in many positions. He could have entered earlier in the season, and it’s a coincidence that he started on his brother’s birthday. I’m happy, and I’m sure he can play many more excellent matches. He carries a prestigious family name that is hard to bear, but he has a lot of values. He is prepared, » commented the Spanish coach.

And with Kylian, how is it going? « Is everything okay between us? As always! I have a fantastic relationship with all the players, and with Kylian too, from the beginning. He’s a 25-year-old player, but he’s very mature. I’ve always said that he is smiling. With big teams, there is always a lot of talk in the press; that’s also what sells. But my relationship with Kylian and the other players is very good, » stated the former FC Barcelona coach in an interview with Canal+.

A challenging match? « Very difficult. Attacking against a team that defends very low with a good level of physical and tactical ability is very challenging. It’s complicated to score the first goal. The first half is always tough, closed. The second was more open, and we scored. »
