Mercato – PSG: Luis Enrique drops a big clue about the next transfers?

Since his arrival at PSG, Luis Enrique has been talked about several times for the way he uses his players in positions that do not necessarily suit them. Moreover, the Parisian coach admitted that he was looking to recruit players according to their versatility. A big clue for the next transfer window?

Last summer, the PSG has recruited three outfield players who stand out for their ability to play in different positions. This is the case of Willian Pachowho can play in the axis of defense as well as as a left side, João Nevescapable of playing in all three midfield positions, and especially of Désiré Doué what Luis Enrique used in the middle, but also left winger, right winger as well as false nine. Versatility is also the number 1 criterion for the coach of the PSG.

Luis Enrique wants versatile players

« During the last transfer window, with two of the four players recruited, we further brought versatility to our squad. It adds more than it takes away. It's very positive to have players who can play in several positions. It's very dangerous for a player to only be able to play one position, like right back for example. Because if I recruit another right back who is better than you, you don't play at all anymore “, he explains to the media before continuing.

An index for the market?

« So I think it's more interesting to have versatile players. Versatility will be one of the characteristics of this squad during my stay at the club. It's something I like. It's not perfect, but again, it gives more than it takes away. Imagine a Champions League final with our best players unable to play because they are injured or suspended. So who do you put? We have players who can play at a very high level in several positions. I believe once again that this versatility brings more than it takes away », added Luis Enrique.
