Despite a double course in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take control of my dreams by heading into journalism. With a master's degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration for transfer periods, when a club must make crucial choices for next season.
Arriving on the PSG bench a year and a half ago, Luis Enrique quickly acquired a big reputation in France. Respected by his players, the Spaniard knows how to show authority, but has also been able to get the best out of his players in training. Present at a press conference this Friday, the latter returned to the secrets of his method.
The PSG is in good hands. Arrived at Paris in July 2023, Luis Enrique is a grip trainer. In a year and a half, the Spaniard was able to change the dimension of certain elements such as Bradley Barcola or even Vitinhaand brought the Parisian club to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Already last September, Luis Enrique let go of some confidences about his method.
“Helping a player who lacks confidence keeps me alive and active”
“You always have to try to find the right message for the players. A very important thing for a coach, and something we are working on, is that the half-time messages are what the team needs and not the coach. We always have criticism. It’s a message that you have to forget that everyone has to love you. It is important for me to show the daily life and details of my family and myself. Helping a player who lacks confidence keeps me alive and active. Like when there are criticisms. I prefer that they speak well of me. There is no doubt »confided the Parisian coach.
“I am a coach who always tries to change training”
Present at a press conference this Friday, Luis Enrique spoke again about his “paw”, and especially about his training sessions: “I am the visible head of the staff but there is a high-level technical team around me. Many of us imagine these workouts depending on what we want to work on. Workloads must always be controlled. I am a coach who always tries to change training sessions, game situations, I always repeat wisely but it is very interesting to imagine”.
