The season may be coming to an end, but Luis Enrique remains uncompromising with his troops. And not just Kylian Mbappé…
PSG ended its season on a good note. Four days after its great success in Nice (1-2), the capital club won in Metz (0-2) thanks to two goals from Carlos Soler and Kan-In Lee. Enough to reassure Luis Enrique a week after his guilty defeat against Toulouse for Kylian Mbappé’s last match at the Parc des Princes (1-3). “I’m happy, it’s not easy to play against this team. We were professional, we had a good match. We knew that Messins were not going to get past the midfield, I think we played very well, we were serious”he confided.
This speech contrasted with the harsh words of the Spanish coach at a press conference two days after the loss against TFC. “Not all players can play for PSG. The attitude, commitment and behavior must be at their maximum, that’s what we’ve been looking for at PSG since I’ve been here. Whoever is not prepared for that, who is only there when it interests him, whoever has other priorities linked to individual interests which are not those of the team, he will not play at PSG . It’s a very clear message,” he thundered.
A costly delay
And to believe The Team, the former midfielder walked his words. Last week, he did not hesitate to exclude two players from training, notably due to being late. Two players whose identity remained secret but for whom his release in front of the media was intended.
Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé, singled out this weekend for their outing in Cannes, were therefore not targeted. According to The Parisianthe top scorer in Ligue 1, who organized his farewell party on Monday, should be present on the pitch at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Saturday in Lille for the final of the Coupe de France against Olympique Lyonnais .
