Luis Enrique he addressed various current issues in a press conference, on the eve of the championship match against Toulouse. We start with the return of Gonçalo Ramos: “He is in the final phase of recovery. When will he return? I don’t know: he is fine, he trains at the same pace as the others. Now we just need to fine-tune the car so that he can participate if we will be the necessary conditions.”
Physical load: “This day, after the international break, is always special. We must not only look at tomorrow’s match, but also at how many minutes the players have had in the national team. Then, based on this information, we will make the appropriate decisions for the match against Toulouse, which is the priority.”
Dembélé’s recovery: “There was nothing serious, in principle it is normal for there to be situations of this type throughout the season. I hope he will be available for the next matches.”
Achraf Hakimi best full-back “I don’t know. Hakimi, on a professional level, is still at the level of what I found when I arrived here, a very high level. I think he fits our characteristics perfectly. He had had very good seasons, now he has improved in terms of personality and is also important in his selection. He is a leader, not only in words but on the pitch.”
The arrival of Red Bull at Paris FC: “I find it fascinating. With a rival nearby, everything related to the promotion of sport and encouraging this type of investment will grow. It makes me happy.”
How is Doué: “You only have to think about one thing. He is 19 years old and has helped us a lot. At Rennes he played in many roles. He has that physical, technical, tactical ability. I think it is a very interesting investment, although it is true that we would all like it to be faster. I repeat, 19 years at PSG, plays a lot of minutes. It’s obvious that he would like to play more. He is a very interesting player for the future of our team but also for the present.”
Kang-in Lee’s versatility: “From the beginning I told you that there are many players who can play many roles. And in this project I hope to have beastly competition. But we are going in that direction.”
Nuno Mendes unavailable: “Will he play against Bayern? I don’t know.”
Skriniar’s lack of minutes: “This is the normal process in a team. When you don’t play you’re unhappy. If I see things I like in the game or in training, I can change their situation.”
