Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Since the start of the Champions League, PSG has had a big finishing problem which is very costly in terms of results. Consequently, the idea of recruiting a new center forward has circulated and the track leading to Viktor Gyökeres is mentioned. However, Luis Enrique assured that PSG would not do anything crazy this winter, which already seems to close this case.
While the PSG is experiencing significant finishing problems, the hypothesis of recruiting a scorer this winter is gaining ground. With this in mind, the path leading to Viktor Gyökeres would be studied, but the Sporting CP will be uncompromising in January, demanding €100M, the amount of his release clause. A very large sum which seems dissuasive. Especially since Luis Enrique ensures that the PSG will not spend large sums this winter.
“We are not going to pay exorbitant prices”
« I never complain about the players I don't have, the injured ones. No, I don't have a player shortage. With the new market arriving, there are players that we have not been able to bring in. Players wanted to come but their clubs did not release them. Or they had a high price. We are not going to pay exorbitant prices. We will develop the team we have as best we can. He lacks efficiency in the Champions League. We have to unblock ourselves in this competition. It's not by pressing an on or off button, it doesn't work like that. There is a blockage, yes. We will unblock ourselves yes but when? The Champions League is difficult but we have solutions. We have to accept the situation and we will try to resolve the problem with our workforce. », assures the coach of PSG at a press conference, before discussing his choice to use a false nine rather than a striker.
“We will be positive and optimistic to improve in the Champions League”
« I could defend the idea of the false 9. I could say what a number 9 is. These are my decisions. I look for the best for my team. What I think is not influenced by the outside world, the press, the critics. We criticize when there is no goal. It's classic. We put players in because we believe they are the best (…) Doubts, no. I would rather say an excess of responsibilities. From what I see and feel. Compared to last season, we have the impression that it's another world, the Champions League. We are one of the best teams but we are not favorites in the Champions League. We will be positive and optimistic to improve in the Champions League. I hope in the next match », added Luis Enrique.
