He said to himself when he retired from playing in 2004: “I just know how to compete.”
As a coach, Luis Enrique copied the philosophy of his former colleague Pep Guardiola from the beginning.
Nothing really brought new on the table, but using the energy tons he has, he became one of the best representatives of the broader cultural transformation.
His uncompromising edge now leads everything in Paris Saint Ferman, although at first he did not want the job.
I think the club only cares about the names. Players like Neymar, Lionel Messi and Killian Mbappe. It cannot be overcome, assume.
But when he heard that philosophy has changed – they now wanted to build a team – reconsidered.
Soon after his arrival, Neymar and Marco Ferrati went. Messi, who might have left if he knew that Luis Enrique was coming, and has already adhered to INTER Miami.
He understands and appreciates the importance of individual stars, but only somewhat.
In a recent documentary about his first season in Paris Saint -Germain, he was seen warning against MBAPPE, a star of his star at the time, for his commitment to fulfill his defensive duties – after he scored the player triple.
“He is the best player in the world,” Astorian insisted several times. “But if the team that has the best player in the world always wins, Paris Saint -Germain will get eight titles in the Champions League and they have nothing.”
He is a director who respects the temple, but he is never afraid to speak his mind.
“I am not afraid of the worst in football … if they disturb me, there is no problem,” he said. “The next day, I will go to a biking trip.”
This perspective, which helped him get out of a rock start last season – including a 4-1 loss for Newcastle in the Champions League and heavy criticism from supporters.
But he remained calm and continued to trust his football beliefs. Temple, repetition and local discipline.
teat? One day, managers will get microphones in the stands and be able to speak players during their positions during the match.
He had to devote an addictive team when he arrived in Paris.
So he spent a little time in an office, instead he sits with his aides, works directly with his players and includes his ideas.
Some players are pushing back against its severity. For example, MBAPPE was not trapped in nine or publicly defined after a triple.
But others flourish, because he does not do the favorite.
