In the second round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Angers 1-0 at home. After the game, Paris coach Enrique accepted an interview with the media at a press conference.
Q: What is your summary of this game?
Enrique said: Very positive. We've talked about the difficulty of this game before, because the opponent is good at defending at low posts. They did, so the whole game was tough. But the worst is the condition of the turf. I didn't expect it to be so bad, which made the game even more difficult. I have to congratulate my players on not thinking about the turf, but playing confidently. Their skills and physical abilities allowed us to win the game.
Q: Is your penalty kicker Vitinia or Dembele?
It's me, it's me, don't worry! I was the one who gave the penalty kick (laughs).
Q: Then why did you choose Dembele today?
Because I am the head coach, I can choose any player. We are fully capable of managing this situation, and we have a lot of good shooters.
Q: After the award ceremony, Donarumma interacted with the fans for a long time. What did you think at that time?
It is always wonderful to see the support of fans. I understand this is a special moment for Donaruma. It's really wonderful to see this feeling of trust and recognition.
Q: Your team only has 4 shots on the court. Will this worry you?
I think we played a great game, both physically and technically. Again, it’s hard to play against a team that defends low posts, and bad turf makes the game even more difficult. But my players weren't bothered from beginning to end. I think we deserve this victory. Overall, we played very well. In the first 20 minutes, because the opponent's physical ability is very strong and difficult, we did not create many opportunities, but since then we have dominated and almost never given the opponent any chance. I'm very satisfied. This is a very different start from last season, and I am very confident.
Q: After two weeks of training, how do you evaluate your team?
We need a piece of sod in good condition to create a good feel with the ball, but that's not the case tonight. Honestly, I'm glad my players didn't complain about the turf. This was an accident for me.
Q: Fabian's performance has improved significantly in 2025. What do you like about him?
In the past two or three years, Fabian has demonstrated his ability to play high-level football. He can play any game, and it is really a good thing to see him grow up like this. He scored a goal today, and he could have scored more. This is very important to him and the team.
Q: What is Paris' goal this season after winning five trophys last season?
We must forget those trophys as soon as possible, because they already belong to the past. We must look at the future. Our motivation is to continue to fight for victory.
