Aston Villa Will Take Risks Tomorrow
Enrique: Statistics Show PSG is Among Europe’s Best
Luis Enrique stated in the pre-match press conference ahead of PSG’s clash with Aston Villa that he considers his team one of the best in Europe.
According to reports, Luis Enrique addressed the media in Birmingham ahead of PSG’s second-leg match against Aston Villa. His team holds a comfortable 3-1 advantage from the first leg. However, Unai Emery and his squad are in good form and could pose a challenge for PSG at home.
Are you worried about the atmosphere at Villa Park?
One of the advantages of knockout tournaments is that matches are played over two legs. In two-legged ties, pressures and conditions change. Just as we will face pressure from their fans tomorrow, they faced pressure in Paris last week. Our goal is simple: win the second leg.
Are you familiar with the atmosphere at Aston Villa?
I know playing at this stadium will have a great atmosphere because Aston Villa is a historic club with great tradition. But our players are used to these conditions, so it’s not a problem.
Does PSG have motivation for the second leg?
Many factors come into play. Players should neither feel too comfortable nor be overly stressed, especially the younger ones. But PSG’s coaching staff knows what they’re doing.
With a 3-1 lead from the first leg, do you consider qualification secure?
At this stage, many teams are contenders for the title. Clearly, we have an advantage due to the previous result, but our goal is to prove once again that we are a team capable of reaching the semifinals.
In what position will Dembélé play?
You asked Ousmane this question before me, and he answered.
Which team currently has the best attacking line in Europe?
Football is tough, especially in the Champions League. Statistically, our team is outstanding. I’ve shown these stats to my players. We are among the best in Europe in this regard.
Facing Unai Emery?
Before the first leg, I thought a lot about the possible scenarios. In my opinion, Unai Emery’s team will defend aggressively tomorrow, which is very risky. The result will depend on how we overcome this strategy.
