Luis Enrique unsure if top-eight finish is the best route to Champions League glory - Soccer News

To be honest, I think it's important for the team's confidence to win and take the three points, but I'm not sure it's the best thing, because if we qualify in the top eight, we won't play in the play-offs," Luis Enrique said ahead of meeting Sporting CP on Tuesday. "And we'll already be missing the Coupe de France matches. But it's certain that the objective is to win and finish in the top eight teams, even if I'm not sure that's the best thing. It's contradictory.

PSG v Le Havre: Line-ups, stats and preview

I'm happy to have this team, but I'm a little concerned about the noises I hear around the team and the individual prizes given to players, because football is a team sport. You have to be ready to work as a team, prizes don't interest me. It's different because there's a lot of recognition [this season]. I don't want to talk about the past, but about the future. Fewer prizes and more concentration, that's what we want.

'Edge' between Wrexham and Charlton - Parkinson

It's going to be a really good game. I think it's going to be competitive and there's an edge between both teams after our competition last year. They're very much similar to how they played last year, a similar shape and they've made a few improvements and some shrewd signings. They've done really well. We know Charlton are going to be very competitive in terms of the way they play, similar to the Portsmouth game in many respects, but we're prepared for that.
