Luis Enrique gave his players the freedom to choose their captain. And it was Marquinhos who was reappointed, according to RMC.
Marquinhos can breathe a sigh of relief. Not sure of starting this season, with the arrival of Milan Skriniar and the good defensive performances of Danilo Pereira, the Brazilian international could have suffered the affront of losing his status as captain at Paris Saint-Germain. The question could clearly arise after the first day of Ligue 1, where it was Danilo, aligned in defense, who wore the armband.
Asked about the subject of the captaincy, Luis Enrique revealed his method. “For me, it’s very simple: I don’t choose the captains, confided the Spanish coach at a press conference. The players choose. They vote and decide who represents them. (…) There are four captains. As a coach, my experience tells me that it’s not my job to pick captains. This would be the coach’s captain. No, I want a player captain. »
But who are these famous four captains? And who did the players elect? Luis Enrique didn’t say it. “I don’t know the captains. I believe they voted today or yesterday. When I find out, I will have no problem communicating it to you”assured the former coach of FC Barcelona.
According to RMC, therefore, it is indeed Marquinhos who has been reappointed. Danilo Pereira was also a legitimate candidate, as was of course Kylian Mbappé, whose situation is quite special.
