Present in Madrid during the Laureus World Sports AwardsRuud Gullit did not hide his admiration for Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain. The former 1987 Ballon d’Or was particularly impressed by the performance of the Parisian club during the 8th final of the Champions League against Chelsea (5-2, 0-3), a match which marked him by its intensity and the collective mastery displayed by the Parisians.
Asked about the level of the PSG midfielder, the former Dutch international was particularly complimentary: “I think they have the best backgrounds. If you want to win battles and matches, you need good midfielders and I think they have the best in history.”he said. Gullit also highlighted the role of players like Vitinha, whom he considers to be in full development, and praised the collective state of mind of a team capable, according to him, of reconciling talent and a large volume of work.
