The Parisian locker room has become tense in recent weeks. To such a point that Luis Enrique's speech would no longer resonate with certain players.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi said it loud and clear last week again: Luis Enrique is part of the long-term PSGregardless of the club's future in the Champions League in particular. At a time when the Parisians' European prospects are rather vague, this clearly assumed direction from management should be such as to provide serenity and confidence to the Spanish coach and his players. And yet…
However, a certain unease seems to have spread to the locker room, confirmed again this Monday by RMC, which assures that “ the understanding between Luis Enrique and his players is strained “. With the beginnings of this discord being a very specific fact: the broadcast on Movistar and Canal+ of a documentary dedicated to the Iberian strategist and his first season in Paris. A film in which we discover the person concerned regularly reprimanding his flock, and not the least!
A misunderstood tactical genius?
« Generally speaking, the documentary focusing on Luis Enrique's management annoys the players. If they do not question the anger or the outbursts of the technician, they implicitly deplore that they are publicly exposed », notes the editorial staff of RMC, adding that the recent disappointing results of PSG have further accentuated the misunderstandings: “ Some players are angry with the technician's choices which they do not always understand. Others deplore unfair decisions to the point of eroding his credit a little. »
According to Christophe Dugarry, on the airwaves of the station mentioned, Luis Enrique is losing his players. “ Two hours before, he came up with something. He thinks it's a computer game, that you have the joystick and you maneuver the guys however you want. Because he's so bright and smart that guys can do it. […] From the start, we see that the guys are lost. They are in a kind of stereotypical system and they have no possibility of being able to truly play their game. »
