Football : PSG faces a cohesion challenge, tensions between Luis Enrique and Kylian Mbappé
The dynamic between the coach and his attacker is experiencing increasing turbulence. Before the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real Sociedad, Kylian Mbappé informed the PSG President of his intention to leave the club at the end of his contract, which expires at the end of the season.
This episode marks the conclusion of one saga and the beginning of another. Since then, the relationship between the player and his coach, Luis Enrique, appears to be deteriorating.
The question now is whether Luis Enrique can do without Kylian Mbappé. When asked about this by the media, the PSG coach replied, « Sooner or later, we will have to get used to playing without Kylian. As a coach, my goal always remains to find what is best for the team, what I consider to be the best for the team. »
Faced with persistent questions about his management of Mbappé, Luis Enrique, visibly annoyed, added, « I will not engage in this game. I am a professional, and what I have said to your colleagues is what I will repeat. There is no problem, it is simply about managing a situation in the best possible way, according to what I think is best. Nothing more ».
Luis Enrique advocates for the team, emphasizing collective effort and equal treatment for all players. Indomitable, the Spanish coach strives to prepare his team as best as possible, as he tirelessly repeats.
