Marquinhos didn't like Luis Enrique

The taking office of Luis Enrique on the bench of PSG was not to the taste of the Brazilian captain of the champions of France. At least on the occasion of PSG-Lorient.

Impose its mark. This is what Luis Enrique tried, and visibly succeeded, when he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain, if we understand the information from the Parisianin its Wednesday edition. Besides the rather blunt way of telling Marco Verratti to pack his bagsthe Spanish coach showed another executive that no one was essential.

The Ile-de-France media recalls the episode concerning Marquinhos before the first day of Ligue 1 during which PSG conceded a draw at the Parc des Princes (0-0). Captain of the French champions since 2020-2021, the Brazilian defender was relegated to the substitutes’ bench, in favor of Danilo Pereira who also wore the armband that evening.

This downgrading did not please Marquinhos, underlines The Parisian. The 29-year-old learned during Luis Enrique’s chat that he would not start the game.

Since then, the former Corinthians and AS Roma player has resumed his place as a captain. In Toulouse (1-1), then against Lens (3-0), captain Marquinhos played both matches.
