the terrible locker room confidence about Luis Enrique

Tuesday evening, PSG played very big on the pitch of Bayern Munich, and its defeat from Bavaria (0-1) made the situation of the capital club less and less comfortable. Without a close to perfect finish, the Champions League campaign could turn into a monumental fiasco with elimination from the start which is now a real possibility.

Obviously, a disaster scenario means eyes turning towards Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach, with radical playing principles, inevitably finds himself in the viewfinder since in addition to his playing philosophy which leaves no room for the slightest individualism, Luis Enrique has always promised great ambition in the Champions League, which contrasts sharply with current results. In recent hours, all the media have nevertheless agreed that this does not call into question anything regarding its management. The latter maintains blind confidence in Luis Enrique, whatever the scenario of the coming weeks, to guide the club towards a winning project in the medium term.

Players considered pawns?

But do the players really agree? Not really if we are to believe the information from L’Equipe du jour. According to the daily, Luis Enrique's “authoritarian” management is starting to make some people cringe. Parisian players in particular would have the feeling of being “treated like pawns in a game of chess”, with no other consideration than that of the game plan meticulously established by Luis Enrique. A form of dehumanization of management which raises questions, including a sensitive issue which could become part of internal debates: the sudden downgrading of Gianluigi Donnarumma, placed on the bench in Munich.
