While they will host Olympique de Marseille in a long-awaited Classic at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain must return to victory in the Championship after their nice success against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League (2-0) . But as in every match, within a squad well stocked in attack with the arrival of Bradley Barcola, Randal Kolo Muani, Marco Asensio and Gonçalo Ramos, Luis Enrique must engage in a puzzle to find his offensive composition.
In front of the press this Saturday, the Parisian coach affirmed that he prioritized Kylian Mbappé, but still has to find who will accompany the number 7 of PSG. “If we have a player like Kylian Mbappé, who generally scores 50 goals, it would be ridiculous to think that he will not maintain these figures. What we need is for him to be able to progress and for his teammates to be able to contribute better (…) I expect a lot from all the players, we must be efficient at all points”he first explained.
Luis Enrique decided for his attack against OM
For the moment, the hierarchy of the Parisian attack around Kylian Mbappé is not yet clear. Luis Enrique has always advocated the importance of the group and never wanted to designate starters and replacements for a full season. “That’s why I’m a coach, I have to know who’s going to play based on what I see in training. I know who will play tomorrow, but not the following week. It will depend on the level on the field, but also during the week in training.added the Spaniard.
However, the ex-Barcelonese revealed some clues that he prioritized when making his choices, in this new squad that he confirms he wanted. “We wanted to have a large squad. I will manage it always thinking about the common goal. I like to leave players on the bench so that they have more competitiveness within the group. But what we expect is to be an effective team in attack and defense. We focus on statistics, but assists are important (…) We try to get the attackers to press. I can’t just focus on the players who score.”. A message that will be heard by his group.
