The PSG coach has made surprising tactical choices in recent matches. A method which does not surprise football players who have already encountered the Spanish technician.
This Wednesday, Luis Enrique could not escape criticism after the humiliating setback conceded by PSG to Newcastle (1-4). More than the raw result, it was the tactics concocted by the Spanish technician which challenged observers. For the third consecutive match, Luis Enrique opted for a system with 4 professional attackers.
While his team was off track after a failed first period, Luis Enrique remained in his position by keeping the same system until the end of the match. Christophe Dugarry, who played with the Spaniard at FC Barcelona during their first life as footballers, is not surprised by the stubborn side of the character.
“ Luis Enrique made blunders, mistakes. Luis Enrique, I know him. When I was in Barcelona I was with him. He has enormous pride. He has an oversized ego. I guarantee it will stay like that.“
The RMC consultant goes even further by announcing that the Paris Saint-Germain coach will not change his approach, whatever the results. “ He will impose things and follow through! He will die with his ideas. Luis Enrique, I think he is missing the true potential of his players,” concluded Dugarry this Thursday evening.
