PSG launches its year 2025 “at home”. The Champions Trophy takes place in Doha, Qatar this Sunday against AS Monaco (5:30 p.m. French time) at stadium 974 used during the last World Cup in particular. This is already the opportunity to win a first title against a team that gave them a hard time three weeks ago at Louis II in Ligue 1 (Parisian victory 4-2). Perhaps the last for some at the club, who were still called up by Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach took 26 people with him for a single trip thousands of kilometers from Paris, even those expected to leave during this transfer window.
“If I took the whole group it’s because we’re going to Doha and it’s interesting for us. This is because it is an opportunity for everyone to start the second part of the season together. It means we are more united. It’s a match and above all a special trophy for us. Starting from this principle with the schedule that awaits us, it was important for us to give confidence to all the players in the hope that this will be reflected in the results», Explains the Asturian at a press conference, on the eve of the final. He even suggests that Skriniar, Kolo Muani or even Asensio are still part of his plans.
Luis Enrique: “Everyone will have a chance»
“We are going to have a lot of matches, almost every three days. I hope to see the potential of the team, of each player. It’s not just 11 players, but everyone will have a chance. It’s something we’ve been working on since I joined the club. To be successful, I am convinced that this is the way to go, this is my goal» assures someone who is a fan of high turnover. Nobody is fooled though. PSG hopes to succeed in selling Randal Kolo Muani and even for a good sum if possible. After Galatasaray, it is the Premier League which is inquiring about Milan Skriniar, while Marco Asensio could take charge of Serie A.
On December 31, we revealed to you an upcoming offensive from Juventus for the former Madrilenian. If all these people are forced to leave, it will undoubtedly be necessary to re-equip the workforce, which Luis Enrique does not hide during this press briefing. “The club’s project does not change. We want high profile signings. We have a clear idea of our game plan. There is also the reality of the transfer window. For our part, there has been a change of mentality in terms of transfer window policy.» Recently, names have been mentioned to strengthen the attack line between Victor Osimhen and Marcus Rashford but no avenue seems really serious at the moment.
