Dembélé as a Playmaker, Verratti’s Departure, and Luis Enrique’s Perspective Ahead of PSG vs. Dortmund

Luis Enrique discusses PSG’s upcoming Champions League clash against Dortmund, during pre-game press conference.

On not making the Champions League an obsession: « When a club is obsessed with something, it’s never a good sign. You should have ambition, but obsession doesn’t work in any area of life. »

But still aiming to win: « We have to see how the competition unfolds; football is a wonderful sport, and anything can happen. You can play an incredible match and lose or play poorly and win. As a club, we play all competitions to win, that’s the goal. It’s very ambitious, but necessary. »

Luis Enrique not worried about his position: « I’m not worried if I’m given time. My way of working is for me. If the results are bad, we’ll see. I know this as a coach; I live day by day. I focus on my team. »

On Verratti: « I’m very satisfied » with the midfielder, he says. He repeats this when asked about Verratti’s departure.

Dembélé… as a playmaker? « It’s curious, I’m convinced, I think he can play in the center and on the wings regardless of the system. Depending on the situations, we change positions. The best players like him can play in any position. But we don’t play with a player supporting the central forward. »
