This is a particularly anticipated opening of the ball, as much by the absence of Kylian Mbappé as by the formula proposed by Luis Enrique. For the first time in 7 years, PSG will play without its star, who left to shine under the colors of Real Madrid. A formula must be found to compensate for the departure of a player capable of scoring between 40 and 50 goals per season. It is up to the Spanish coach to take on this heavy task, especially since Mbappé was not just a simple scorer. He took all the spotlight on himself. It is also through his media aura that PSG existed.
The capital club has for the moment decided to refocus its project by not recruiting a star this summer. For the moment at least because there have been some rumors around major players like Victor Osimhen.It’s difficult for us because we already have a great team. We recruited last year. I’m very happy with all the players, and those we recruited. I’m very confident. We recruited one player per line and more are coming. I’m willing to improve the squad but it’s complicated.“, assures Luis Enrique, already delighted with the squad he has available.
Luis Enrique prefers the collective
For him, it is an opportunity to rethink his collective, less focused on one player and therefore more capable of creating uncertainty for opponents.The leader of the team is the club, it’s PSG. The players are giving their all and I have no doubt that we will be stronger in attack and defense.“, he continued during his first press conference of the season.It’s an exciting challenge to show that football is a team sport. That’s my goal.“, he insists, convinced that he is continuing the work already started last season.
Without Mbappé, we will have to count on Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos, and while waiting for the arrival of Désiré Doué in the coming days, to make the offensive sector shine.If someone scores 40 goals, we won’t close the doors. But if we have four players who score 12 goals, that’s 48 goals so it’s even better.“, jokes Luis Enrique, sometimes annoyed by the many questions about the ghost of Kylian Mbappé.I wish him the best and that Madrid lose against us.» Pure Luis Enrique.
