Poissy (AFP) – PSG coach Luis Enrique said he was "not concerned about the moment" when his team "will be at a very high level", on the eve of the match against Monaco and after two draws in Ligue 1 against Rennes and Lille (2-2).

When will PSG be 100%? “It depends on a lot of factors that I cannot control. My job is to look for the best eleven players for each match. I am not concerned about when we will be at the very high level,” said the Parisian coach to the press.

Lucas Digne, summer recruit, is not worried either: "I think it was a little more complicated, because there was less preparation. Afterwards, it's not an excuse, it's an observation. Everyone is not yet at 100%, but we will get there and when the team is at full strength, there will be a difference too", declared the French defender, not worried about his personal situation.

Worried ? "No, at all. It's an adaptation, it requires a lot of things. If I had to worry after three matches, it would still be sad," he smiled.

According to Luis Enrique, "there is time for the players to adapt. I remember that during my second year, everyone had doubts about the players we had taken. And they ended up showing their level. We bought the players we wanted", he added, saying he was very satisfied with the transfer window.

Asked about Bradley Barcola's departure to Liverpool, the manager said that "everyone is a winner: He wanted to leave because he wanted to be more important in the team. And you have to earn that in training, I can't guarantee that to any player. He was a very important player, he's an incredible person, he was loved by his teammates. He still had two years left, he decided to leave and I wish him the best. We have to accept that."

He said he was "happy with the three players in the attack line (Torres, Godts, Akliouche). We shouldn't make comparisons. We'll see what happens but I'm happy with this transfer window."

“Now there are financial fair play rules and I think we are one of the best teams in Europe on and off the pitch,” assured the Spaniard.

For him, “the objectives are clear. I have said it many times: I want to win the most important trophies and there is no greater trophy than the Champions League”.
