Coming from a probant 5-2 victory over Stade Brestois, Paris will now face Le Mans in the Coupe de France round of 16 on Tuesday evening. Though it is a lower-tier opponent Luis Enrique will want to keep his side focus.

Furthermore, Luis Enrique will be able to count on all his players with the exception of Warren Zaire-Emery who is still recuperating from an injury sustained against Vfb Stuttgart in Champions League. Here are some of the most important quotes translated by PSG Post.

Le Mans vs Paris Saint-Germain - Luis Enrique pre-match press conference

The Spaniard coach took place and quickly answered a question on whether Kimpembe could make his season debut against Le Mans, only stating : "Maybe."

Luis Enrique: " Gonçalo Ramos "

He then commented on Gonçalo Ramos' excellent form and new role when coming off the bench.

" I am pleased with every players, with all my team. Some have performed exceptionally throughout the season. Some have done OK and been consistent, which is normal in a football team. As ffor Gonçalo Ramos, I am very pleased with his attitude. He is very positive, whether he plays one minute or not. He warms up well whether he starts or not, he is a very reliable player."

Luis Enrique : " Ousmane has always been a different player"

The Spaniard then heaped praises to his in-form players, emphasising on Dembélé and Barcola.

" Ousmane has always been a different player. It doesn't matter where he plays, he is different. He is capable to dribble 2-3 players and create many assists and score goals. Maybe not as much as he is doing now but our objective with him is the same as always. Depending on spaces, finding Ousmane in those spaces whether it is as a number nine or as winger. It's a player that makes differences, I said it before. But we know how it works with journalists.

" At the beginning it was 'Super Barcola', then he had 3-4 games that were difficult and he was criticised and now he is 'Super Barcola' again. To be a PSG player, you need to be ready for this kind of attention. That is why we consider this as a team sport, and within the team everything is easier, you can share the bad and good moments together. It's one of the best thing you can have as a football player."

Luis Enrique : " My opinion doesn't count"

He was then questionned on Gianluigi Donnarumma's future at the club as a contract extension could be expected for him, and whether or not he could influence the opening of negotiations.

"No, no, no my opinion doesn't count"
