Stade Brestois vs Paris Saint-Germain - Luis Enrique and Nuno Mendes pre-match press conference

Nuno Mendes who recently extended his contract with the club took place in for the press conference and commented on his team's news.

Nuno Mendes : "Brest can hurt us"

The Portuguese was asked about how difficult it would be to play against a side they have defeated recently, knowing that they are heavy favourite ahead of the two legs.

" We could say yes, but we know it is the Champions League. In the Champions League, every details is important. If we are not doing well, Brest can hurt us, of course. They'r a good team, they have good players. If we let Brest play their game, of course they will hurt us. "

Luis Enrique : "Each games that we played against Brest was difficult"

Luis Enrique's questions were centered around Brest, a team that they've played against recently and how dangerous they could be to PSG, and the Spaniard heaped high praises to the team coached by Eric Roy.

"Of course, it makes it interesting for journalists and fans, for sure. However, for us, it is games where we have to improve many things. And each games that we played against Brest was difficult whether it was at home or away. Because, it doesn't matter if we are ahead in scoring, they are capable of scoring two goals in two minutes.

"So Brest is a very complex team to play against, it is a well-balanced team that is good offensively and defensively. A team good with crosses and always dangerous, so a game against Brest is never easy."

Luis Enrique : "Easy for Brest to create danger"

"Well in a competiton with two legs to play, we need to be extremely precise for 90 minutes, and in this case every details count, we'll need to be careful and avoid too many mistakes and be efficient in both part of the pitch. We'll need to dictate the game, but we have the sensation that Brest can always score against us. There is Ajorque who's holding the ball very well, there is Del Castillo who can create chances.

"I reapeat, it is a well-balanced that's difficult to defend against. I think we have a team that press very well but against them that are able to play short or long with talent, it is difficult because they have the ability to cut your team in two. It is a team that could be trailling 2-0 and they would equalise or 2-1 and they'd come back, so it is easy for them to create danger."
