Paris Saint-Germain has entrusted the keys to the truck to Luis Enrique to bring to life the new Parisian sporting project focused on the development of talents rather than the stacking of stars as was the case in the past. However, Emmanuel Petit is convinced that the Spanish coach is not the right coach to fulfill this mission for PSG.
Certainly, the PSG races in the lead Ligue 1 this season as was the case last year. However, the group of Luis Enrique has been struggling since the start of the regular season of this new format of Champions League with only 4 points taken in 4 matches. Which places Paris Saint-Germain outside the qualifying zone for the 1/16 finals at the moment T.
“Luis Enrique? Due to the philosophy that Paris Saint-Germain wants to implement, the profiles do not correspond at all.
The sports project sold by Nasser Al–Khelaïfi in June 2022 is not tenable with Luis Enrique at the baguette from the point of view ofEmmanuel Petit.
“Al-Khelaïfi? He's been falling asleep for a while now. Whether on the new project or even on the one before, we completely changed course by trying to build based on promising youth and a project lasting quite a few years. Except that the greats of Europe don't have the time. It must immediately produce results. When I see what Luis Enrique, who has been reappointed, wants to put in place, I remain convinced that he is a good coach, but due to the philosophy that Paris Saint-Germain wants to put in place, the profiles do not correspond at all. . Having possession of the ball without playing on the intrinsic qualities of your players, well you are playing against the grain.”
“The people around Nasser Al-Khelaïfi are responsible”
The president of PSG would have agreed with Luis Enrique and his entourage so that the Spanish coach is extended until June 2027 while officially, his lease will expire on June 30. World Champion 98, Emmanuel Petit estimated on the airwaves of RMC pour Rothen ignites that the advisors of the boss of Paris Saint–Germain are guilty of the current situation.
“Some players are lost because they have to learn a football that they have never played since it is not based on their qualities. There are profiles that are too similar and not much intensity in this team whereas we have seen it for years, the big teams bring in their intrinsic qualities and what's more the coaches adapt to their players. I have the impression that in fact we have a coach who is so obtuse that he spends his time trying and forcing his players to adapt to him when it should be the opposite to establish a philosophy on the ground. So I agree that this is a project lasting several years, but it will last to see results if we maintain this course with Luis Enrique. For me, the people around Nasser Al-Khelaïfi are responsible because they are the ones who worked together with him to bring in most of these profiles.”
