PSG: Did Luis Enrique shoot himself in the foot?

Luis Enrique has no solution to his liking at the center forward position. With the injury to Gonçalo Ramos and the fact that the PSG coach does not really seem to be counting on Randal Kolo Muani, the Asturian sees himself obliged to deal with Marco Asensio and Kang-In Lee in this position. A risky bet in the mind of Javier Pastore.

Javier Pastore was the first star recruitment of the QSI project. Initiated in 2011, the great revolution of PSG launched by the Qatari owners of the capital club notably welcomed Blaise Matuidi, Salvatore Sirigu and therefore the Argentine attacking midfielder who left his bags at the SaintGermain coming from Palermo.

Javier Pastore is not a fan of the false 9 advocated by Luis Enrique

Between 2011 and 2018, Javier Pastore has known various center forwards Paris SaintGermain dont Zlatan Ibrahimovic et Edinson Cavani to name just a few. Supporter and unconditional follower of PSG, Pastore revealed that he prefers the of his time as opposed to what is currently done, particularly in the offensive sector with the position of false number 9. Luis Enriquedue to the injury of Gonçalo Ramosuses this stratagem by aligning among others Marco Asensio et KangIn Lee to this position.

“You need Dembélé or Barcola to do exceptional action on one side and for everyone else to project themselves”

Pour The Parisian, Javier Pastore emptied his bag on this subject. “Football has changed a lot. There aren't many teams today that play with a true number 9, but that's modern football. If you let me choose, I prefer to play like in my time, with an Ibrahimovic, a Cavani. Because they give you references, they are always on the surface. You know that any ball that passes, you can score. Today it's more difficult. You need Dembélé or Barcola to do exceptional action on one side and for everyone else to project themselves. The coach likes to play like that, without a real attacker. The team must adapt to his will. I hope it goes well.”
