It is a situation generated by the schedule.[/b][/p][p][b]"In terms of a top-level game tomorrow, it will be difficult to see that. Some of ⁠our players have barely trained ​but the ones who have will play tomorrow. In terms of preparation, this is not how it should be."[/b][/p][image alt="PSG are the favourites" id="e1b350e7-ddbb-4770-881c-2d5aea34c039" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="efc104ad-0a10-4556-a6b8-3572010fa946" original-width="2160" original-height="2700" /][p]PSG will also defend the French Super Cup on Sunday, against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/lens/IBmris38/"]Lens[/a], and while the manager is keen to add more silverware to ‌the club's collection, the upcoming campaign is the main focus.[/p][p][b]"We set ourselves ambitious targets, we will continue to do so,"[/b] Luis Enrique said.[/p][p][b]"We are preparing for the season intelligently and we want to be in the best condition at the end of the season, rather than at the start of the season."[/b][/p][p]The football world has been in turmoil for the past few weeks, following FIFA's abandoned plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors after widespread backlash.[/p][p]UEFA are still threatening to boycott FIFA competitions, President Gianni ‌Infantino's position is coming under increasing pressure, and Luis Enrique was asked ​for his thoughts on the controversy.[/p][p][b]"I focus on my team, my players, ‌the transfer window.
