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 injury to Gonçalo Ramos, Luis Enrique has decided to use Marco Asensio as a false nine. And Saturday evening against Angers (4-2), the Spanish international shone, notably delivering two assists. After the match, the PSG coach was full of praise for his player.
While the PSG lost Gonçalo Ramos during the first day of Ligue 1 due to an injury, it was Marco Asensio which is most often used in a false nine role. And on Saturday evening, the Spaniard shone during the victory of PSG against Angers (4-2) notably delivering two assists. After the match, Luis Enrique also praised his player.
Luis Enrique ignites for Asensio
« I think Marco Asensio made 3 assists today, correct? He's a top quality player on the ball, that's for sure. Kolo Muani also created chances entering the second half. It’s a very good dynamic. My goal is to have as many players as possible who want to help, that's what I like. I don't put barriers on myself. If there are as many players as possible who can help the team, it's better for everyone: for me, for them and for the team. This is my goal as a coach », says the coach of PSG in a press conference before discussing the situation of his attackers more generally.
“He’s a top quality player with the ball”
« If a number 9 suddenly plays, it doesn't matter which one, and he responds, I'm delighted. If I didn't trust a player and he changes my mind by training at a high level, and playing at a high level, I'm happy about it. I don't put barriers on myself, ever. So far, with what I see and how I want my team to play, I am proceeding with these players. But I always leave the door open that any player who plays less can change his situation through training and minutes of play, or even just training. I'm always open to that », added Luis Enrique.
