PSG returned to victory in the Champions League. On Wednesday, at the Parc des Princes, Luis Enrique’s men overthrew Tottenham on the 5th day of the league phase, winning 5-3 in a spectacular match. Vitinha distinguished himself by scoring a hat-trick, confirming his crucial role in the Parisian collective.
For this meeting, the PSG coach had lined up an attack made up of Bradley Barcola, Quentin Ndjantou and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. But the Georgian international, starting on the right, delivered a performance considered disappointing. For Daniel Riolo, this position highlights a problem of versatility that Luis Enrique seeks to impose on his players.
For Kvaratskhelia, “it doesn’t work”
“We saw the famous Kvaratskhelia again on the right. It’s probably also a coincidence that, when Barcola came out, it played much better with Kvara on the left. Luis Enrique is crazy about versatility because he himself was a very good player who could play everywhere”first launches the editorialist on
RMCin theAfter Foot.
Daniel Riolo goes further in his analysis. “Luis Enrique wants his players to be versatile like him. Some succeed, others don’t. Kvaratskhelia wants to play only on the left. Luis Enrique tries to force him elsewhere, but it doesn’t work. He was much more dangerous when he returned to the left”adds the journalist. It remains to be seen how the Spanish technician will manage this in the months to come.
