Damien Perrinelle, who faced Paris Saint-Germain with AS Monaco 4 times this season as an assistant coach, was invited by L’Equipe to give his opinion on the team built by coach Luis Enrique at PSG. He highlighted what makes “the difference.”
“The team reflects him. That’s where he has been strong, because that is the ultimate goal for a coach. He remains focused on his principles: quick transitions and possession. But it is also the best team in pressing and counter-pressing. In other areas, he is capable of making changes, but without ever touching those key elements. That is the difference. From the moment he got the whole dressing room behind him, he can then adjust the details.”
Luis Enrique approaches football with passion, enjoyment, and the desire to have the ball. It is indeed quite easy to say that this PSG side matches that idea. The notion of fearing the big occasions has been clearly put aside; now it is mainly about enjoying themselves and playing. All of it with a certain confidence, regardless of the situation or the opponent.
That does not prevent them from adapting their game a little at times; you have to know how to stay open-minded and not be stubborn when something is not working. However, the philosophy does not change. And the players seem to be fully on board with Luis Enrique’s approach, both in human management and tactically. It is beautiful to see such balance, a real harmony. One can only hope it will continue for a long time, even though we know full well that nothing lasts forever. In football, things can change quickly. As the coach regularly points out, that is exactly why it has to be savored to the fullest.
