Third in the ranking of the Ballon d'Or France Football 2025, the number 17 Parisian once again performed an XXL performance against FC Barcelona this Wednesday in the Champions League.
Asked about his player at a pre -match press conference this Saturday, Luis Enrique did not fail to praise the Portuguese but however by warning him. “” I do the same work with Vitinha as with other players, because I am the coach of all the players. It's normal to speak more than one player like Vitinha because, for me, it is one of the two best field circles in the world, but I'm trying to improve each player, “ He first launched journalists.
And continue: “It's nice to see its level and I think it can improve again. It is very important for us because he is a differential player. But I like and I'm trying to improve players who don't play and have problems because they want to play more. This is the work of the coach. I am very happy to see the positive evolution of our players. »»
