A new defeat in the Champions League on the pitch of Bayern Munich (1-0), a tasteless draw against FC Nantes (1-1). Paris Saint-Germain has had a difficult week, and for Bixente Lizarazu, the main culprit is Luis Enrique.
“There are a lot of things wrong. Already, the construction of the squad, which is very young, and ultimately inexperienced for the Champions League. And yet, the budget is that of a European Top 3. It’s a choice. Luis Enrique wanted young players, perhaps to control them better”confided the 1998 world champion this Sunday in Téléfoot.
Luis Enrique, questioning necessary
“What I also see is that there is starting to be a management problem. There are a few players he is losing, maybe Donnarumma, maybe Dembélé. He has to be careful with that. There is Kolo Muani who no longer plays,” listed Lizarazu, who is starting to question the Spanish coach’s methods. “Luis Enrique is a very dogmatic person. He doesn’t adapt to his players at all, it’s his players who have to adapt to him, and sometimes play against nature. The players, this can start to annoy them, because they can lose their football. »
On arrival, Lizarazu invites Luis Enrique to be more humble in difficult times. “There are lots of things, tactical experiments, like the ones he did at Bayern. He plays with a false 9 in the championship, and there he plays without a number 9, very defensive. We don’t understand, and Bayern were not perturbed at all. His playing becomes quite academic, quite readable, it purrs, it doesn’t scratch. And that makes me think of Spain, at the end of the cycle, especially the 2022 World Cup, there was something like that. He too could question himself, but obviously, never. This doesn’t happen to him. »
