Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain started the season awkwardly, but little by little the coach’s game is taking shape and the results are improving. Now, they are just 24 hours away from their crucial match against Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League. Now, the coach spoke to the press.

He first made a complete analysis: “The tactical drawings make sense, but there is no team in the world that plays 4-3-3, 3-5-2 or 4-3-3. Because it continually changes depending on where the ball is and the game situation. We play, when we have the ball, in 4-3-3. When we reached the progression phase, we played in 3-4-3. And when we are in the finalization phase, different. Our disposition changes in each phase of the game. Without the ball it is the same. It can be 4-3-3, 3-5-2 or 3-4-3. It depends on how the rivals are.”

Afterwards, he commented again that the most important player is Dembele, not Mbapppe!: “I know Dembélé from my time at Barcelona as a coach. The club wanted to sign him when he was at Rennes and he didn’t want to come to Barça because there was a lot of competition. I have known him for many years and he is a different player, for me. Now I know him personally. He doesn’t care if he fails, he keeps trying, he doesn’t care if they criticize him…”

“It’s an opportunity to have him. I think he’s different from the Barcelona player, because we try to get him to play inside and out and create different situations. From the beginning they have been very worried about whether he scores goals or not, but when it’s time for the ball, that means that there are one or two teammates free to enter the game and that is thanks to his ability to attack spaces. Without a doubt, for me he is the most unbalancing player in football worldwide.”
