Since his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain, Achraf Hakimi has never disappointed. On fire in his right lane, the Moroccan full-back continues to shine and has fully participated in the various successes of his club, starting of course with that linked to the coronation in the Champions League last season. But Paris never tried to find a double for him. Luis Enrique said more on the subject.
Incredible of course, but why not look for a right defender to allow Achraf Hakimi to rest from time to time? Luis Enrique put forward two explanations this Friday at a press conference. On the eve of his team's trip to Brest (5 p.m., 9th day of Ligue 1), the Spanish coach first said all the good things he thought of his player.
“He is without a doubt the best right-back in the world in my opinion. This is why we are not signing another right-back. » A first clarification before a second, concerning the position of PSG on this subject. “He plays almost every game and when he doesn't play, we have other very good options. »
Achraf Hakimi without equal, according to Luis Enrique
For Luis Enrique, it is also not smart to put a lot of money on the table for an understudy who would have very little playing time. “It would mean paying a lot of money to bring in a right-back who would be a substitute, who would only play three games and who would be demotivated because he won't be better than Hakimi. »
Luis Enrique prefers to occasionally use Warren Zaire-Emery, or even Joao Neves, in place of the 2022 World Cup semi-finalist. The departure of Achraf Hakimi to join Morocco at the African Cup of Nations (December 21-January 18) will say more about PSG's options.
