In recent days, Luis Enrique has been having a hard time. And the PSG coach was once again expensive this Monday evening on RMC Sportwhere Christophe Dugarry dressed it for winter and all other seasons. “The guy two hours before the match, he comes up with something, he thinks it’s a Game Boy or a computer game where you maneuver the guys the way you want because you’re so brilliant, intelligent, that you thought of things they can do. I knew that, it was at Barça with Louis van Gaal. He explained to me that I could play number 6. That was his thing.” The 98 world champion clarified that it was not for this reason that he missed his visit to Catalonia, but that this way of doing things is problematic in his eyes. And this is precisely what he reproaches Luis Enrique today, who will “lose your locker room” according to him at PSG if he ever continues this momentum.
“When you are a player, when you don’t play in your position and what’s more, you can’t perform well in a position that isn’t yours, where your skills are undermined… I think to Kang-in Lee, I’m thinking of the right-back or the left-back who finds himself center forward, of a whole bunch of players who find themselves forced to swap. The two attackers against Bayern Munich who are not attackers, who are corridor players who find themselves playing attacker like that. You see, they are lost. From the beginning, we see that they are lost. They are in a kind of stereotypical system. They have no opportunity to really play their game. After the match against Bayern Munich, Luis Enrique explains to you that he is happy with what he saw, that it was good. What Luis Enrique says is communication. What Nasser (Al-Khelaïfi) says is communication (…) When we give you a team composition two hours before Bayern Munich and the players have not understood anything, I guarantee you that the players will start to have a pair of glands. Father Luis Enrique who thinks he is God the Father, who believes that he has seen and known everything, that he invented football… A composition is made according to the qualities and faults of your players, you cannot Don’t invent qualities for them that they don’t have!” The message got through…
