After the coronation of PSG in the Champions League against Arsenal (1-1, 4-3 tab), Emmanuel Petit delivered a very positive analysis of the Parisian project, in After Football on RMC. The former French international insisted on the profound transformation carried out within the club since the arrival of Luis Enrique. “Football is a collective expression, sublimated by individuals. We realize that since they kicked out all the egos, this team is liberated”explained Emmanuel Petit, highlighting a change of mindset which allowed PSG to take a major step forward on the European scene.
He also underlined the central role of the Spanish coach in this development. “It’s true that the expression in which the players evolve thanks to Luis Enrique allows them to have this confidence and this honesty towards themselves. But bring back misplaced egos and suddenly the machine will jam. It’s the first thing Luis Enrique did when he arrived, which was a relief for a lot of players”he added.
