Enrique: Mouani is very strong, but I can’t comment on his role; if nothing unexpected happens, Dembele can play

Hupu, November 25th: Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique attended the pre-match press conference against Tottenham in the Champions League.

"It's easier to train and you don't have to say too much because you feel like it's a different game for us, a different tournament. It's our own game, we're the defending champions and we want to keep that momentum going.

Tottenham have started the season very well and are in Europe. They are unbeaten in the Champions League. Most of their players are internationals. They are a strong team. This game is very different from the European Super Cup; it will be difficult, but we will fight at the Parc des Princes."

Later, Enrique talked about the interaction on the club's Twitch account.

"The experience on Twitch during the World Cup was special; although it annoyed the reporters, the direct interaction with the fans was a very special moment. We were able to have the fans and the coaching staff interact the day before the game."

Enrique said that if all goes well, Dembele can be included in the squad tomorrow.

"Let's see tomorrow. If there are no problems, he will definitely be selected."

He believes that the team's defense has improved.

"If compared with last season, we (the group's points) are 3 points less, but we have scored more goals. In the Champions League, we have also made progress. I feel better about the team's defensive position."

We are building a real team and it is important to have different options, whether it is left, right or central. The team's performance at the beginning of the season has been very positive. I am very happy."
