Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique is relishing a tactical duel against Davide Ancelotti when the reigning French champions travel to Lille on Friday night. The Spanish tactician praised the former Real Madrid assistant for his sharp footballing brain while viewing the demanding test at Stade Pierre-Mauroy as ideal preparation for Europe.
Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that star forward Ousmane Dembele will be given a brief period of rest to manage his heavy physical workload following a demanding summer. Consequently, the French international has been ruled out of the upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Lille before returning to full squad training next Monday morning in Paris.
Davide Ancelotti has opened up about his man-management philosophy following Lille's 2-0 victory against Angers. The head coach explained why building strong personal relationships with his squad is always his primary focus.
