If tensions exist between several players and Luis Enrique, the Spaniard retains the support of a good part of his locker room according to the latest reports from the French press.
Surrounded by three French internationals (Kimpembe, Kolo Muani, Dembélé), Luis Enrique appears on the front page of L'Equipe this Tuesday with this title, in capital letters “Motion of no confidence”. As since Sunday, the sports daily returns once again in its today's edition to the growing tensions within the Parisian locker room between certain players and Luis Enrique.
“There are tensions with most French people, who line up behind Ousmane Dembélé and Presnel Kimpembe, confided Loïc Tanzi, journalist at L'Equipe, in L'Equipe de Greg on Monday evening. Luis Enrique has a problem, not with the majority, but with part of the locker room. The big problem he will have is with Kimpembe, before Dembélé, because he is very influential in the locker room and in the club in general. »
“Kimpembe can return the club to you if he wants”
According to the journalist, who notably covers PSG on a daily basis, Kimpembe “can move a lot of lines in the PSG locker room” et “can return the club to you if he wants, the whole club”car “he knows everyone and gives as much importance to the storekeeper as to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi”.
Not having appeared on the pitch since February 2023, Kimpembe considers himself ready to play for a month and does not understand his recent management, with a return to the group against Bayern Munich in the Champions League and an absence a few days later against Nantes in League 1.
Luis Enrique still has many supporters at PSG
If other media also mentioned tensions between Bradley Barcola and Luis Enrique and explained that even Spanish players like Fabian Ruiz and Marco Asensio were having more and more difficulty with their coach, has the latter lost all his locker room though? No according to L'Equipe, which ensures that a large part of the locker room is not in rebellion against Luis Enrique, who maintains a solid relationship with several elements.
According to the sports daily, Luis Enrique closely observes everything he says in recent days, even if he repeats not reading the press, and intends to clean up his squad when the time comes. From the winter transfer window? Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has in any case reaffirmed his unfailing support for Luis Enrique in recent days and in high places, PSG repeats that the Spaniard (recently extended until 2027) will stay and continue his project.
