Luis Enrique and his players, things are getting tense

After a difficult week for PSG, dominated in the Champions League and hanging in Ligue 1, tensions appear in the locker room between Luis Enrique and his players, who seem tired of the Spanish coach's methods.

PSG is going through a period of turbulence in its 2024-2025 season with poor results accumulating in the Champions League, the latest of which on Tuesday with a setback to Bayern Munich (1-0) which pushes Paris back to 25th place , and a draw conceded in Ligue 1 on Saturday against Nantes (1-1). Even if the French champion still occupies the lead in the French championship, seven points ahead of Monaco with one game in hand, tensions appear in the locker room between Luis Enrique and his players.

The Spanish technician once again surprised his players in his choices against Bayern. This is not the first time that he has delivered his composition to his team at the last moment. The game choices are sometimes surprising given what was worked on during the week in training. Even if the coach understands where he wants to go, he can sometimes lose his players.

PSG players find Luis Enrique's decisions unfair

Among the latter, some are angry and do not understand Luis Enrique's choices. They find certain decisions unfair. Echoes which are starting to rise within the club. Not everyone is in solidarity with what Luis Enrique is doing. If officially at the club, we are united with Luis Enrique, unofficially, the more the results go in this direction, the more tongues will loosen.

Players like Fabian Ruiz, but he is not the only one in the clan of “Spaniards”, who took up the cause of the former Barça coach, who blocked his departure this summer, are starting to be upset by Luis Enrique and unhappy with the way things are going.

An executive like Presnel Kimpembe, back from a very long absence, Luis Enrique will manage him like all the other players. A method which might not be the most thoughtful in relation to the history at the club and the experience of a very important member of the Parisian locker room.

Today, we cannot speak of a crisis but the slightest spark can light the fire. Luis Enrique also appears as the strong man of PSG. His omnipotence tends to annoy at the club. The technician from Asturias has made sure that he has to lead a team where he is master of everything. A Luis Enrique who has already extended with Paris, until 2027, unlike Luis Campos, the sports advisor.
