He had already given some details on his way of seeing things, his way of working and his expectations during his presentation press conference at the new Poissy training center on July 5. Five days after the resumption of training with a reduced workforce, three before the return of Kylian Mbappé and all the internationals, Luis Enrique gave this Friday in an interview broadcast on the club’s website new elements on his personality. trainer and how it works.
Him, who after having chosen to stay at the Campus will forever be the first to have slept there – “how lucky it is! I arrive without having done anything and I am the first to benefit from this Campus. (…) Few clubs in the world have such facilities and I think they live up to what Paris Saint-Germain is” – began by recalling the principles of play he wanted to see applied by his troops.
“I’m clearly an offensive coach,” he repeated. With my staff we want a team that plays from the first minute, a team that does not calculate and attacks. We want our fans to have fun and the players to have fun representing Paris Saint-Germain. »
And the new Parisian coach seems convinced that he can achieve this as he seems to take a positive look at the workforce made available to him. “All Paris Saint-Germain players are great players,” he said. The young people who come from the training center, if they are not there yet, will become so, those who are already there, those who have been recruited by the club, the stars that we already have in the team. But to build a team, you need a mix of all of that and a coach who believes in it. And in this case, I am totally convinced that we will succeed. »
The fact remains, and this is one of its specificities, that it intends to put a few operating methods in place to give itself even more of a chance of achieving its goal. He, who aims to “create a family with the players and the members of the staff” does not hide that “humor” will be one of his levers to create unity in his team.
But in a locker room that looks like the Tower of Babel, where a large number of nationalities rub shoulders, the new coach knows that he will have to “be able to communicate in different languages” in “Italian, Spanish or English”. But if he will make sure “that everyone can communicate in the language that suits him best”, he does not especially exclude making French a common language. “There will undoubtedly be other languages in the locker room, but it is clear and non-negotiable that everyone who comes to the club will have to learn the language of the country that welcomes them”, he said, specifying that “all foreigners will have to learn French. “The former coach of La Roja recognizes that if he does not speak it yet, he will make sure to soon be able to express himself in the language of Molière.
“We have to be practically invincible at home”
Beyond work, of course, it is thanks to this that he hopes to seduce the Parisian people. Because Enrique does not hide: “My objective is that the supporters of Paris Saint-Germain are proud of their team, that they are proud of what they see on the ground, that they appreciate the spectacle. And they will appreciate it if they see effort, work, a team that attacks well and defends well, a team that plays together, a united group. If they like it, and I’m sure they do, then they’ll be proud of their team. »
And the new Parisian coach sent a message to the supporters: “I want to make you proud, I want to give you the feeling that your team works, struggles, fights, that it plays football well and above all that it plays every match to get points without ever calculating. This is what I can guarantee you as a coach. I don’t know if it will work, but I’m confident it can be done even though I can’t predict the results. I hope you will have a lot of fun. »
In this Parc des Princes that he says he knows “for having suffered there as a player and coach”, he hopes to regain an invincibility that has all too often been undermined in recent months. “Last season, the team lost a lot of points at home,” he says. We have to be practically invincible at home and for that we need our supporters. But before asking for anything, you have to know how to give. We have to make our fans want to cheer us on and enjoy our football. »
