Press conference transcript:

Luis Enrique: " I do not have an ideal"

The Spaniard was asked about the form of his team and if it was getting closer to his ideal football style.

"No, I do not have an ideal. I do not have an ideal because it doesn't exist in football. The game asks continuous effort, continuous commitment. And when a player or a team start to relax a bit everything goes south so we do not want anyone to settle, we want to keep improving."

Luis Enrique: " "

The former Barcelona coach gave insight on how he plans to keep his players in form ahead of their Champions League clash against Liverpool and the role of Gonçalo Ramos as a super-sub.

" I haven't said one thing or the other. As for Gonçalo Ramos, we will manage him just as we have done until now. It will be the same way. There is a plan of course. The most important game is the one tomorrow. And there is an overall vision with the games coming up in the next month. Of course the plan can be changed. Because one player could play in this game, one player could play in the one after. That is really important for us and it gives us confidence to face these games with the vision as a team. We have lots of player who can play in different positions.

"We are going to do what we have been doing, which is following our ideas. And to perform at our best against Liverpool, we need to have the right amount of playing time going into it. About Gonçalo Ramos, I have not said anything special, he is an important player, when he plays one, 10, 30 or 90 minutes. When he doesn't play, he is still important because he is at the disposal of the team, he has the right attitude."

Luis Enrique: " For sure we are going to suffer"

Luis Enrique was then asked about what he could do to keep his squad focus ahead of their game againt a lower-tier side.

"I think it is really easy in the Coupe de France, because if you look at the other Ligue 1 team, most of them are eliminated. But if you look at us, we played against Espaly and Le Mans and we suffered against both, especially against Espaly, we really suffered. So it is not possible to relax at all. Of course, we hope the condition of the pitch is going to allow a good game. But for sure we are going to suffer tomorrow. It is the difficulty in the Coupe de France."
