Luis Enrique spoke out before the match PSG with Aston Villa in the Champions League. On Wednesday, the Paris club in its arena will take a team under the leadership of Unai Emery in the first match of the 1/4 finals of the Champions League.
We will continue to see the magnificent version of PSG in the case, playing with the same intensity. I absolutely have no doubt about the level that the team demonstrates today, and in the fact that the best is waiting for us ahead.
On the eve of the Champions League match, a completely different energy is felt. Each coach has his own style and his own way of managing the lineup.
On the position of the favorite
For me in football there are no favorites. When we played against Liverpool, everyone said that we have less chance. Now there are eight teams left, each of which earned the right to be at this stage of competition, and each of them is able to go further.
The many so -called favorites have already been knocked out of the tournament. We have to do everything you need and earn a victory on the field.
about the strengths of the opponent
The Aston Villa team is similar to ours: she has a lot of universal players, and it is difficult to predict who will come out in the start. This is a team that knows how to play a low block, a high block, can quickly rebuild.
In this we are really similar, and this promises an open and complex meeting for both sides. They are able to get out of pressure, know how to control space-this is their strong side: to attack, starting from their defense and moving forward.
This will require us an excellent defensive game and high efficiency. I know very well Marco Asensio - this is a very high level player, with outstanding technical qualities who won many trophies.
Unai Emery is a real expert who knows how to extract the maximum of his players. This joy is to know that you have a confrontation with such a large European coach, the owner of many titles. Aston Villa reached this level precisely thanks to him.
About my 100th match for the club
I did not even know about it! These are just numbers, but I still feel pride. I hope to play a few hundred matches - such things need to be earned.
