Luis Enrique has completely revised his copy on the level of Ligue 1, which he considered “fairly easy” when arriving at PSG.
Rarely has a PSG coach been so talked about. Unlike his predecessors, who seemed to grant unlimited credit to the stars of the team, the Catalan technician made a strong choice by regularly depriving himself of Kylian Mbappé for three weeks. Top scorer in Ligue 1, the Parisian striker is nevertheless the best player playing in France. And by far.
Luis Enrique is undoubtedly aware of this, even if the overall level of the elite really surprised him. “Before arriving, I thought it was a fairly easy championship, but it’s quite the oppositehe explained Tuesday at a press conference, on the eve of the Coupe de France quarter-final against Nice. There is a very high individual level in what the coaches offer. »
Ligue 1 is doing better than La Liga
“You will think that I say this because it looks good, but no, I find that it is a very competitive league, with a lot of talent, young players who then go to other championships. There is a high level among the coaches too. I can speak from experience”added the coach of the Rouge et Bleu, who has not named those he likes among his counterparts.
An observation which, this season, is illustrated by the good performances of the French clubs on the European scene. With three more teams involved in the Champions League (PSG), Europa League (OM) and Europa Conference League (Lille), France has effectively doubled Spain in the UEFA index for the 2023-2024 financial year, with 14,416 points against 13,437 points.
