Last night, Paris Saint-Germain failed to do better than a draw against Brest (2-2). A result that annoyed Luis Enrique. But the Spanish coach is also guilty of this result according to Daniel Riolo. On the airwaves of RMC Sportthe journalist severely tackled Luis Enrique. “He did not explain what he did in his laboratory. Against Luis Enrique, we are all ignorant, me probably a little more…Hernandez played left back all season, didn’t he? And Beraldo came to play in the center. But this evening in a 4-2-3-1 composition that is quite original by Luis Enrique’s standards, he puts Hernandez in the center and Beraldo on the left? Ok, fine, why not? The one who plays 10 is Asensio. We thought he could be false 9 or on the side but since you have to be unpredictable for others, I sometimes even wonder if the players aren’t surprised. Afterwards, Kolo Muani, the poor guy, he and Vitinha the Marseillais should form the circle of L1 depressives. But why doesn’t DembĂ©lĂ© play when he lights on the right side while the other misses almost everything? As Hakimi is at the CAN, he tells himself that he is not going to put DembĂ©lĂ©. And then Zaire-Emery in midfield, it was so good so he told him: “you’re going to play right back for a bit”. I tried Soler right back, it wasn’t so bad oddly enough but no: “you’re going to stay on the bench, Zaire-Emery is going to play there and we’re going to do it differently.”
He pursues : “we no longer see what makes MbappĂ© strong, the excesses, the accelerations, the strikes. In terms of personal involvement, this is the worst match of the season. Even when he was doing his lab, I found that there was at least real collective and personal involvement from the players. As everyone is convinced, apart from me, by the positioning of MbappĂ© in 9, we will perhaps have found that he is great tonight in 9 and that Barcola – who had a rather good match this evening – is him superior. I would still prefer it to be MbappĂ© on the left and that we play with a real 9 but there isn’t one – at 80 million, it’s not enough to buy any – so we play with MbappĂ© in 9. If I’m told that it’s in this position that he’s great because he makes four leg passes in the middle and he misses the pass behind, OK. I heard the Parc stand up on the dribbles of MbappĂ© and Barcola in midfield before losing the ball. If that’s what’s great, if that’s what GĂ©o-trouvetou is preparing, that’s great. I will never be able to get used to MbappĂ©’s positioning (…) He says the same things all the time, he says nothing because it pisses him off to talk to us. He scratches his head, he works so hard during the week in his laboratory, GĂ©o-trouvetou, that he has nothing left to say on Sunday. He’s a genius, he doesn’t talk. When he talks to you, you’re an idiot compared to him. In the second half, there was a lot of complacency and a lot of searching for individual solutions because collectively it was poor. Even in the first half since the first goal comes from a two-man exploit from Barcola with Asensio’s finish. These are accelerations and recovery balls. I’m not going to see control of the match, even in the first period.” The message is clear…
