You have to know what you want. When Luis Enrique made PSG play without a trained center forward, he was criticized. When he lines up Gonçalo Ramos, as against FC Nantes on Saturday evening (1-1, 13th day of Ligue 1), the Spanish coach still has to endure attacks regarding the offensive efficiency of his team. This is what we can understand from his comments made at a press conference after the failure against the Canaries at home.
The Spanish coach took the opportunity to scratch his journalist “friends”. “ I don’t know who said or asked so many times, the false nine, the false nine, the false nine. Now there is something new. And what happened? It’s a joke, but it’s reality. It was the new thing, the solution. And if we don’t score with that for four matches, what else will we say? ? »
Handball is enough
“ The solution does not come from a player. In this team, it’s not just one player, it’s the collective », insists Luis Enrique. We cannot blame him, especially when we look at the statistics of this PSG-Nantes. Parisian players shot 24 times on goal. Their coach is not directly responsible for this clumsiness, especially as certain situations were very favorable for scoring an additional goal.
On the other hand, another figure does not clear Luis Enrique. More than 1,000 passes were exchanged by PSG players. A
very useless record and which bears the Enrique brand. Obsessed with ball possession, the former Spain coach has developed a “handball” style of play for years. Very often boring and not made to cross the lines towards the opposing goal.
