At 3:00 am on September 18, in the first round of the Champions League stage, Paris Saint-Germain will face Atlanta at home. Before the game, Paris coach Enrique attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About this game

- I think it is no different from last year, and every game is very difficult.

About the team's current style

-Are our performance a little worse? I don't think so. We are always analyzing our performance, and we experienced a difficult period last year due to lack of efficiency. But for a team that wants to improve, this is normal. At this stage of the Champions League, we are more confident than last year.

Regarding the team's injury situation

- Li Gangren can play, as for Kvaratskhelia, we need to wait until after training to see how he feels.

Regarding the pressure of Balcola on offensive

- I won't talk about only one player, what we want to discuss is the spirit of the entire team to overcome difficulties.

About Atlanta

—It's hard to discuss. They changed coaches and only played three games with different opponents. They have been a high-pressing team with excellent players over the past three years. We are used to not knowing what our opponents will do, but one of our strengths is being able to adapt to this situation.

About hope to win the Champions League again - after winning the European Championship, the club, the city and our fans - our goal is to make history again, win two consecutive Champions League titles, and we must be full of ambitions.

About maintaining the team's motivation

- In my philosophy, we always pursue progress and show the players a future without peace and tranquility. It is normal to have ambitions, and you must always think about improving yourself.

Will you sit in the stands when you kick off?

—It feels very different to watch the game from the stands. During the intermission speech, I saw where we could improve and what we missed, which is what we could add to the plan. I don't know if I'll go to the stands at the start of the game, but I'll be back on the sidelines in the second half.

The impact of the first Champions League title

—The first champion is always tough because the players don't think they can win it, but we show the direction. Now, the entire Paris Saint-Germain and young players are eager for victory because they know they have the ability to win it. For me, winning the first title is harder than winning the second or third title.

About the number of French players in the team

- Campos' goal is to regain some of our identities. Every time you see a player wearing a Paris Saint-Germain jersey, no matter where he was born, you will think he is a Parisian. If a player joins, he must have a very good level because there are many high-level players in the club. There are a lot of French players on the team, which is very important.

Will you lose some motivation after winning the championship?

- I haven't changed anything, and the players are equally ambitious. I said last year that players love playing football, and I can easily motivate them, and we are confident that we will win this trophy again.

Regarding Lukeman and Atlanta

- We are Paris Saint-Germain, and instead of focusing on those who are not playing, we should focus on those who are playing. Gasperini has already left his mark on that team and it will be a very tough game for us.
