Team News: Enrique never makes excuses, refuses to change tactics, refuses to compromise for any player

Hupu October 3rd News French Media News Agency famous reporter Hugo Delom and Vincent Duluc wrote the Louis Enrique column.

The story of the start of Paris this season is that he mobilized the team to strive for a second Champions League title, while also focusing on stability:

In addition to changing the goalkeeper (he personally took charge to avoid controversy) and the arrival of Ilia Zabarney, he conveyed the message to the locker room that trusted Paris's existing lineup.

's 2-1 away win over Barcelona may not be the decisive factor, but it consolidates Paris' belief that it remains a favorite to win the championship. And this itself means a lot. The pain of the 16th round, the fear of failure: the shadows of those horrifying nights have long been lingering in Paris Saint-Germain's heart. The team's victory at the beginning of the season and the positive attitude they showed after the game fully demonstrated their strength in this regard. This is the great achievement of Louis Enrique: he was able to continue this unwavering belief.

Apart from that memorable and confident speech, Louis Enrique was like a mentor when explaining his choices, he knew he had control over the team.

From the substitute to the main team of the first team, everyone will repeat the same sentence to their professional entourage: "If we don't run, if we don't follow his instructions, we will be out."

In these exchanges, examples of Kroo Muani, Asensio and others can be seen everywhere...

Another important thing is that Enrique never makes excuses. In fact, in the 5-0 Inter Champions League final, only half of the outfield players participated in the 2-1 victory over Barcelona.

This does not mean that everything is equal: this is not the case, Paris' recent Ligue 1 matches highlight the lack of creativity, especially in the absence of key offensive players, which has exacerbated this problem even more when facing deep defense.

But the Spanish coach's idea is to never complain before and after, and stressed that he does not believe what kind of curse such a bad injury wave in the past two months will bring. Perhaps out of superstition: When asked last season, when the team was asked not to have any injuries, he flatly refused, pointing out that talking about injuries was just bad luck.

Finally, Enrique's game style will not revolutionize. The coach has been sticking to his position tactics for more than 40 years.

This sense of oppression and fluidity we see at Montec is exactly the same as in the past two years. But the coaching team is still looking for innovation: "There are no cheaters on this team. They are eager to innovate themselves and bring something different. Louis Enrique is putting pressure on them," said a club employee.

The introduction of Schellier also follows this logic.

In fact, the goalkeeper is in line with Enrique's idea, he is good at short passes and provides reliable connections in the pass line. His debut was not perfect. He must adapt to the guidance of new goalkeeper coach Borja Alvarez as soon as possible. But Schellier is considered to be one of Paris's plans to reconstruct the team's midfield and backcourt.

In addition to goalkeepers, Luis Enrique sometimes made new choices out of necessity: Marginhos on the right, Mayulu at the 9th position… But in recent weeks, the coach has insisted on setting pieces in training and has adopted new corner tactics. And it has achieved certain success. This proves that Paris can still make opponents more elusive.
