How to judge this beginning of Parisian adventure of Luis Enrique? It may still be a little too early to do so, especially since the Spaniard was not really helped during the summer, with this Mbappé file which parasitized the Parisian preparation. On the other hand, one thing is certain; the former FC Barcelona and La Roja has already imposed his methods in the locker room.
As the newspaper reports The Parisian, the workforce and management are so far impressed. The Spaniard is thoroughly and has already seduced everyone on the side of Poissy. However, the least we can say is that Luis Enrique is a character who is fearless, and his grip does not seem to bother the locker room for the moment.
A management that works for the moment
Indeed, his player management is anything but smooth. There is the Marquinhos case, and the main concerned had difficulty accepting his benching during the opening of the championship. But for him, there is neither indisputable holder, nor statutes in his workforce. The media also reports the comments he made against Marco Verratti: “With me, you will never play!”. He would have been very sharp with the Italian, yet very popular in the locker room.
The same with Neymar, during this famous meeting with Luis Campos. The man, who still lives at the Poissy training center, is a hard worker, motivated, and manages for the moment to share this state of mind and this ambition with his group. He also tries to alternate this authoritarian and demanding face with a face that is sometimes a little more joking and close to the players, which is obviously very much appreciated by his flock. But we know, in Paris as elsewhere, what will count are the results…
