Randal Kolo Muani once again remained on the bench during PSG-Lens. The striker is clearly shunned by Luis Enrique despite PSG's lack of realism. Kévin Diaz, however, welcomes this decision by the Parisian coach.
Between praise and concerns, the PSG version 2024-2025 divides observers. The Parisians have just won the Classic 3-0 in Marseille and logically beat Lens 1-0 on Saturday. The collective mastery is there and the Parisian club remains undefeated in Ligue 1. However, the final result is not completely sufficient. Against the Sang et Or, PSG should have increased the score. An observation similar to last Sunday's classic. At the Vélodrome, the Parisians were content with the score acquired from the break even though they had numerical and, above all, technical superiority. This PSG remains too ineffective.
Kolo Muani is not invited to this PSG
In this aspect, the departure of Kylian Mbappé is well felt. This is all the more the case as Luis Enrique plays without a professional center forward. Gonçalo Ramos is injured and Randal Kolo Muani is not part of the Spaniard's plans. The former Nantes player did not play against OM or Lens. Zero minutes of play in both matches. Incomprehensible when you want to score goals according to certain specialists. Kévin Diaz approves of the choice of Luis Enrique. The RMC consultant believes that Kolo Muani does not have the technical level to join the Parisian collective. PSG is simply better without him.
« I can blame PSG for inefficiency but I can't blame the PSG coach for inefficiency. For me, Luis Enrique's job is to put his team in a position to dominate the opponent and create as many chances as possible. Afterwards, it is up to the players on the field to finish the actions. People will tell me that Luis Enrique could create a professional center forward. Who is there? Kolo Muani? If he is on the pitch, will the team produce as many chances? In any case in Nice this was not the case. When he is not there, the team's animation is better. When you see the first half of PSG against Lens… », he analyzed in After Foot. Given Kolo Muani's form in the French team, the choice of Luis Enrique is still debatable. Let's hope that this sidelining does not pay off against Atlético while PSG is struggling to score in C1 this season.
