For 10 minutes, Paris Saint-Germain thought he was going to be eliminated

This is the core of Luis Enrique's coaching philosophy, and defender Lucas Hernandez talked about this on Wednesday, “If you don't do what he asks on the court, you don't want to play.” Because we all want to play, we will do exactly what he said. ”

Paris Saint-Germain was once a team that was decided by star players. If a player like Ibrahimovic (2012-2016 played for Paris Saint-Germain), he wouldn’t do it, as did Neymar, Messi, Mbappe, etc. Players always feel that they are better than the coach, and any coach, whether Blanc, Tuchel, Emery, Pochettino or Galtier, lack of authority in the locker room is a big problem.

Luis Enrique is different. He is the head coach, and the players all accept him. He sometimes stubbornly builds the team according to his own style and principles. The only exception is last November, when Paris Saint-Germain was not in good condition, and he listened to the players for the first time. Sources said that the players thought Enrique was a bit too rigid in position arrangement, so he agreed to give the players more freedom, provided the team's revitalization structure remained unchanged. On Wednesday, on the new and extremely modern training ground of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique, as usual, sat on his small crane, accompanied by the team's psychologist and right-hand man Joaquin Valdes, watched the team's 11-11 match. He paused the game, got off the crane, gave instructions, and returned to it.

"There is no better view than there. If I could watch our game like this, I would definitely go. "Enrique said.

Louis Enrique is very special, Ashraf said he is a "genius" - he is passionate about everything he does, extremely extreme. When you meet him, his main advice to you is: "Don't do exercise for more than 30 minutes." You should do 10 push-ups every 30 minutes. ”

This is the creed of Louis Enrique. But you don't have to listen to him, just listen to his players.

How to go next?

This is the first year that Louis Enrique planned after losing three superstars. No matter what happens in Munich on Saturday night, they are already ahead of the plan in many ways. Winning the Champions League is certainly not among the plans this year, which may be the second year, and more likely the third year goal. The idea now is to keep the youngest team in the Champions League and continue to improve individually and collectively so that the team can Can grow together and keep improving.

For this strategy, the summer transfer window should be very calm for Paris Saint-Germain, just introduce a right-footed central defender and a midfielder who can play right-back. Some marginal players, such as defender Skriniar and forward Krolo Muani, as well as Marco Asensio and Carlos Soler, may leave.

Stability and continuity are the motto here: Whether Paris Saint-Germain can put on the yellow robe for the first time in a few hours, Luis Enrique's project has just begun.
