Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique says his squad must embrace criticism as the club seeks its first Ligue 1 victory of the season against Brest. Despite a 6-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava, the team remains winless in domestic competition after two draws and a recent 2-1 home loss to Monaco. Luis Enrique maintains that external noise is a standard expectation at a major club and believes the scrutiny can improve individual and collective performance. The team previously suffered a 1-0 defeat to Lille in the Trophee des Champions. Looking ahead, the manager expects a strong performance against Brest followed by an upcoming match against Marseille. Paris Saint-Germain currently sits with two points from three league fixtures and remains focused on closing the gap to the top of the table.
