PSG is in trouble. Three days after its sad defeat conceded in the Champions League on the pitch of Bayern Munich, the capital club was in fact forced into a draw (1-1) by FC Nantes. A notable poor performance which earned Luis Enrique, the Parisian coach, a new round of criticism.
For Christophe Dugarry, the former midfielder is primarily responsible for this situation. The fault is his incessant tactical experiments. “Two hours before, he laid something. He thinks it’s a computer game, that you have the joystick and you maneuver the guys however you want. Because he’s so bright and intelligent that guys can do it.”he castigated, pointing out the unfortunate habit of the Parisian coach of not developing his players in their best positions.
“At one point, I said stop”
“When you can’t perform well in a position that isn’t yours, where your skills are undermined… I think of Kang-in Lee, at right back, at left back, at a whole bunch of players who find themselves forced to swap, he whispered. The two attackers against Bayern Munich (Barcola and Dembélé), who are corridor players, were lost. From the start, we see that the guys are lost. They are in a kind of stereotypical system and they have no possibility of being able to truly play their game. A team composition and an organization, you put them according to the qualities and faults of your players. You don’t invent qualities for them that they don’t have. Seeing center forward Hakimi be the most dangerous player on your team, you shouldn’t be surprised that there are technical waste and finishing problems. »
This situation is reminiscent of the 98 world champion of his ordeal experienced at Barça. “I knew him at Barça with Van Gaal. I was going crazy, he explained to me every time that I could play number 6. It was his thing. And the more catastrophic I was, the more he yelled at me for not being able to play number 6, he said. No matter how much I told him… But at one point, I said stop, ‘I’m going to stop, you think what you want and I think what I want’. And there is the problem. When a coach makes you play positions that you don’t master, that you don’t know, that you don’t understand, there is a problem. At some point, it doesn’t work. »
