Enrique may face suspension: clash with Pedro after the final of the Club World Cup

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique is in controversy after the Club World Cup final for suspected attack on Chelsea striker Joao Pedro. The move could lead to the International Football Federation's allegations against him, thus facing a prolonged suspension and huge fines.

As a favorite for the Champions League championship, Paris Saint-Germain was widely favored before the game, but was completely suppressed by Chelsea in the first half. In the second half, the Blues controlled the rhythm of the game, further angering the opponent - Paris midfielder Joao Neves was sent off with a red card for pulling Mark Cucurella's hair. The two of them clashed continuously throughout the game.

Enrique showed obvious dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty on the sidelines, and his emotions were almost out of control. After the whistle at the end of the game, players on both sides broke out in a large-scale melee, with Joao Pedro becoming the core of the conflict. During the push with the Parisian player and Enrique, the Spanish coach suddenly made Pedro fall to the ground under the cover of Gianluigi Donaluma.

This scene was captured vividly by the camera, showing Enrique's "violent behavior", which is very likely to trigger an investigation by FIFA. In the end, Chelsea defeated Paris 3-0, and Cole Palmer scored the first record and assisted Joao Pedro to score, completely crushing Paris on the tactical level. As a famous coach who once led Barcelona and Paris to win the triple-tall championship, Enrique showed an irresistible loss of control at this time. This not only irreversible his image, but also deepened the team's sense of shame in defeat.

Commentators pointed out: "Even if you are at a disadvantage in terms of technical and tactics, the main trainer still needs to remain calm. Enrique's behavior obviously breaks the bottom line. Attacking the opponent's players is an unacceptable serious violation of discipline and deserves severe punishment from the Football Association."

FIFA's punishment for "coach violence" has always been strict. Referring to previous cases, Enrique is likely to face at least five bans, which may even affect Paris's start in the new season in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. This storm undoubtedly added pressure to Paris. Not only did it miss the Club World Cup championship, but its head coach's improper actions may also damage the club's image. As the fans said: "Losing is acceptable, but such a lack of grace is the real shame."
