PSG has finally experienced its dream season. After having long coveted the Champions League under QSI, 14 to be precise, Paris obtained the Grail this season. The formation of Luis Enrique rolled over Europe impressively with an overwhelming victory in the final against Inter Milan (5-0) to close the show. The victory of a collective led by Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach has shaped the team to his image emphasizing a collective rather than on individuality.
A method to the opposite of what QSI had first wanted to multiply XXL purchases. But Nasser Al-Khelaïfi had changed his method by entrusting the reins to Luis Enrique. The former Spain coach had asked for the departure of Neymar, Verratti and clearly did not oppose that of Kylian Mbappé. With the sports director Luis Campos, the two men had targeted very specific profiles preferring to bet on young players (PSG had the youngest team of C1's final stages) than on more confirmed players.
Luis Enrique does not want 27 or 28 -year -old players
Present in Qatar, Nasser al-Khelaïfi gave an interview to the national channel Al-kass. The Parisian president notably mentioned the Luis Enrique method on the transfer window. And the Spanish coach is obviously very strict on a recruitment criterion: age. “He is the best coach to develop young players. He loves young players. For example, someone 28 years old, that is to say buying a 28 or 27-year player for him, is no, impossible. It is forbidden for him, he does not want. He loves all 21-22 years. Have you noticed the last players we recruited? The oldest is 23 or 24 years old, no more. »»he said at first before continuing.
“Luis Enrique likes the combative spirit, he likes the player who gives everything, who runs a lot on the field, who is generous in his effort. How do we work? Luis Campos must present the player to the coach. The coach must see the players, their value, their price and other aspects. There must be an agreement, a common agreement. Everyone has their role. For everything related to scouting, Luis Enrique, the coach, must approve the player. He must be convinced that the player integrates into his future project. Then we, the management, also give our agreement ” This explains the recent tracks of the capital's club on the transfer market and why certain rumors on large stars have never succeeded in the last two seasons. The Luis Enrique method is strict and it bears fruit.
