At a pre-match press conference this Saturday afternoon, Luis Enrique explained the role of his Portuguese full-back on the pitch. “ Our goal is to improve our workforce and have better performance. That doesn’t mean Nuno can’t get back into the building triangle. Players must have the ability to help the team at the most opportune times. Nuno at the beginning was in the attacking phase generating play for us, now he is more decisive in the last third of the pitch. Thanks to his shooting, his speed… It’s a team, like an orchestra, there can’t always be players doing the same thing, we have to coordinate. Of course he can play more up front,” he added to journalists.
Nuno Mendes is one of the Parisian forces on the pitch like Achraf Hakimi in the right lane. The two full-backs create many situations during matches.
