After PSG's defeat against Bayern Munich, Daniel Riolo tore Luis Enrique to pieces for having aligned Matvey Safonov, instead of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
This Tuesday evening, PSG lost on the pitch to Bayern Munich for the rest of the Champions League (1-0, notes). A new defeat in this league phase for the capital club, which is currently in 26th position in the ranking, and therefore virtually eliminated.
For this match, Luis Enrique tried to innovate, notably with the start of Matvey Safonov to the detriment of Gianluigi Donnarumma. A (big) change which did not pay off, given that the Russian goalkeeper was at fault on the German goal. And in l’After Foot on RMCDaniel Riolo obviously did not hesitate to criticize this choice of Luis Enrique.
“Luis Enrique will end up draining the club”
“The saves he makes, Donnarumma also makes them every day. The problem isn't the blunder, it's why embarrass yourself in this game with the goalkeepers? “I put you on, I put you on.” Now he has lost Donnarumma. It's over, he won't see it anymore. But why did you need to do that? It's not like you brought in Sepp Maier or Lev Yashin. You brought in Safonov, the ex-Krasnodar goalkeeper! Are we talking about the goal? He was ridiculous. This guy (Luis Enrique) will wear you out, he will end up draining the club because he will have a rift with the supporters because of him. He is one of the coaches who exhausts and drains a club. Mourinho is also one of this type of coach,” he noted.
“Is his idea to always want to play the same way or to want to create something new that will surprise the opponent? This guy destabilizes his players. He considers himself a great intellectual. Players love these kinds of coaches initially because they feel valued. The players embrace these new features, the changes in positions… When it works, like in Ligue 1, the guys embrace it. But as soon as you play a team that's a little square, it's over, you crash. Especially since this reflection is always accompanied by “I don’t need to have stars because my collective will be better than the individuals”, expressed the editorialist of RMCwho had a lot to say.
