It’s an image that quickly made the rounds on social networks. Immediately after PSG’s victory in Lorient (4-1) on Wednesday evening, the players went to celebrate this success which brings them considerably closer to the title in front of the visitors’ park. In front of their supporters, a scene filmed by the cameras of Prime Video emerges from the festivities. Luis Enrique takes Randal Kolo Muani aside and talks to him about his entry into play which once again did not live up to his expectations.
The exchange is friendly. It lasts about fifteen seconds where the coach, like Pep Guardiola, speaks with big gestures. Opposite, Kolo Muani listens to him, nods. The scene ends with a friendly pat from the coach to his player who he knows lacks confidence. There was in particular this action where his poor control in the area annihilated a scoring opportunity which he could have seized. Illustration of a player in the trough of the wave, he who has not scored since February 10 with his club. ### Luis Enrique: *”I can only support the players when they are less good”* Luis Enrique returned to this at a press conference. *“I am the coach and I believe it is important to be next to your players when they need it*,” he begins. *Randal Kolo Muani is a top player, a great transfer, but he is not at the top of his confidence at the moment and I am on his side. I can only support the players when they are less good. I am very happy with Kolo Muani’s performances but I think he can do better and when he regains this confidence, his performances will be even better.”* A speech which will necessarily do good to the main person concerned, who has lost his starting place at the start of the season, and now sees Gonçalo Ramos preferred as first choice of attacker behind Kylian Mbappé. PSG is currently living in an ocean of good news, on the eve of the Ligue 1 title (probably). The situation of Kolo Muani is the only black spot at the moment. Recruited for €90 million, the 25-year-old has only scored 12 times in 41 games. PSG expects more, too.
