Luis Enrique’s cash response to the massacre at PSG!

After the international break, Ligue 1 makes its comeback on Friday evening. At the opening of the 13th day, Paris Saint-Germain, leader of the championship, welcomes AS Monaco, third, for a shock at the top. A few hours before this duel and after a break marked by numerous injuries in the selections, Luis Enrique presented himself at a press conference. The opportunity in particular for the Spanish technician to return to the setbacks of what the Spanish press likes to call the FIFA virus. If Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius Jr, Gavi and many others will be on the sidelines in the weeks to come, Luis Enrique has also seen some of his protégés affected by this massacre.

With this in mind, let us remember that the new darling of French football, Warren Zaire-Emery, victim of a major sprain in his right ankle, will remain in treatment until the winter break. For his part, Marquinhos, affected with Brazil in the right hamstring, will be out for 10 days and will therefore miss PSG’s next two receptions, against the Asémistes then against Newcastle in the Champions League, next Tuesday. Two big blows for the Rouge et Bleu about which Luis Enrique was logically questioned this Friday. Smiling in front of the press, the former coach of La Roja first affirmed that this confrontation against AS Monaco was not a decisive turning point in the title race but, above all, refused to be alarmed in the face of to the recent bad news received in the City of Lights.

Luis Enrique believes in his collective!

“If I have the ability to fill this void left? Without a doubt, I have a squad which is the best in the championship in my opinion, each time a player is injured, it is a sad moment but the squad is large and of a very high level.launched the ex-Barça coach before ensuring that these two packages in no way changed the club’s objective, namely to win everything. “We are talking about something crucial, the Champions League where the next two matches will be decisive. The five Ligue 1 matches are also very important but for a championship that lasts the entire season, we have a good squad. There is enthusiasm and we want to continue our work before the break”. Saddened by these two injuries, Luis Enrique also sent a message about extremely busy schedules which tend to annoy more than one technician.

“It’s a controversy that I don’t want to get into, there is this calendar, all the players want to play for the national team, it’s normal, I also wanted it as a player. It’s up to me to adjust, whether I like it or not. There are people who have decided this schedule and now it’s up to me to adapt, I just hope that the injured players will recover as quickly as possible., thus delayed the 53-year-old Spaniard, much more peaceful than Jürgen Klopp in particular. Constrained by his two major packages, the new architect of this PSG version 2023-2024 therefore does not wish to feel sorry for himself and intends to take advantage of the opportunity to prove to the many observers that he has such a rich workforce than competitive. To achieve his goals and at a time when Carlos Soler, Fabian Ruiz or even Kang-In Lee appear as solutions to compensate for the absence of WZE in the midfield, Luis Enrique also benefits from another return: Danilo Pereira.

“The moment you come back to the group, you can start playing. It will be my decision as a coach but yes both are available”, confirmed the person concerned about Marco Asensio and the 32-year-old Portuguese, capable of playing both in the axis of defense and in a sentry role. Connected to the sector of optimism, Luis Enrique finally concluded his speech by giving news of a certain Presnel Kimpembe, also very close to a return to competition. “I’m not a doctor, I can’t give an exact answer but he’s back in the squad, he’s doing well, he’s doing very well. I knew him because I already played against him, he is a leader of the group, a potential captain, I am happy and eager for him to come back. It’s always sad when a player gets injured but also very satisfying when he comes back.. That’s what it says… FIFA virus, or not, Luis Enrique’s PSG is not panicking!
