This summer, Paris Saint-Germain aimed to compensate for the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. The capital club got its hands on players with high potential without necessarily being very big stars yet. On the airwaves of RMC Sport, Daniel Riolo returned to the transfer window of the Parisians, while making some revelations on the subject.
“This project story. I’m happy for us to stop the star policy, but if we come to criticize it, I don’t want to hear: “Luis Campos is the manager of a squad that Luis Enrique has to deal with”. It didn’t happen like that, it’s absolutely clear. It was the two of them together (who made the transfer window). So that we know the whole truth, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was more in favor of putting one or two stars in the sense of ‘a little more flashy recruitment’ with Victor Osimhen or players like that. The two of them said: “new policy, new collective, new way of working hand in hand”. Let’s not put the responsibility on Campos, they agreed and the sporting director went in the direction of Luis Enrique. I don’t see this extraordinary and brilliant collective freed from the weight of individualities. In the end, a collective that we don’t understand anything about, a vague communication based on lies and an individuality that no longer officially exists, that’s communist football. Luis Enrique has a totalitarian idea in his ideas and this way of imposing his football without debating. Even his mentor Pep Guardiola had to admit that playing with a star, Erling Haaland, was still useful to him.” But Lucho wants to rely on a collective rather than individuals, although he recently regretted the departure of Mbappé.
