PSG manager Luis Enrique has come out to challenge his players to make history by winning the club’s first UCL trophy. He recently had his say at his pre-match news conference, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his players have the opportunity to go down in history as the names that delivered the club from its UCL drought, and he believes they have the mindset to make it happen.
Enrique added that even though the road to the final has been tedious and difficult, he fully credits the team’s early struggles for the consistency his players are currently showing.
His words, “When you make history, it is about doing something that nobody at your club has done before.
But I love their [players] mindset. We are where we want to be, but we want to try to be as strong as possible and win tomorrow.
Our journey has been difficult, it’s been a long and winding road, but the fact we struggled through this competition in the early games it has probably helped us now.
We have had to play ‘finals’ in this competition for a long time and had to deal with what has been thrown at us, but we haven’t shown any signs of fears so far and we won’t tomorrow.
“I have peace of mind thanks to my maturity. I have 10 years’ more experience since 2015, I am 10 years older, so I try to share with experience with my players as it’s a wonderful opportunity for them.
When a coach manages his squad, there is only one objective and that is to make sure the players are out there as best possible to win on the pitch.
This is a team that’s used to playing finals. Motivation and the mental aspects are very important, but we’re used to this.
We have had harmony and I haven’t changed anything. I have an exceptional squad and they have always seen the glass as half-full.”
WOW.
