Luis Campos reveals the secret behind PSG under Luis Enrique

Luis Campos, sports advisor for Paris Saint-Germain, delivered a passionate analysis on RMC Sport in Rothen gets fired up. He reflected on the rapid progression of Luis Enrique's team (55 years old), highlighting the emergence of a clear playing identity and the unpredictability of the Parisians on the field.

Luis Campos "It was magnificent to experience"

"It went a bit faster than I thought. We grew a lot during the season. I remember a conversation with Luis Enrique and the president, we said we were going to build the team without the pressure of winning the Champions League. And Luis Enrique said: 'But I came to win'. It was an extraordinary season. I congratulate the whole club. It was magnificent to experience, to see how Paris exploded that day. But that's the past. We want to think about the future and continue to win important things.

Luis Campos "One of Luis Enrique's secrets is that we have a playing identity"

At PSG, we have a very important trio. The president gives his life for the club. The coach has an energy that never stops. He has gasoline. We discussed how we are going to rebuild the team. One of Luis Enrique's secrets is that we have a playing identity, with movements that we repeat. When the coach arrived, he told me 'Luis, this year we are going to improve. When you see the players moving on the field, you won't understand'. I remember a match in Lille and a Lille player told me: 'I don't understand your team, because the players move everywhere'. When we talk about Hakimi, right back, all of that, our team is hard to understand for the opponent. This unpredictability helps us a lot."

Luis Campos particularly highlighted Luis Enrique's touch at Paris Saint-Germain, a style made of possession, intense pressing and constant self-giving. The Spaniard has instilled in his players an obsession with the ball: keeping possession not to slow down the game, but to better suffocate the opponent.

In this model, each loss is immediately followed by aggressive counter-pressing, which transforms the team into a compact and difficult to break through block. But beyond tactical principles, Campos emphasizes the human aspect: Luis Enrique demands total involvement, constant availability in runs, calls and repositioning.

It is this mix between collective discipline and creativity in movements that gives this impression of unpredictability. At PSG, everyone must sacrifice for the collective, a radical change from past years, where individuals often prevailed. This self-giving has shaped a more mature team, where talent is now put at the service of a common identity. The opponents have understood, this PSG even less well knows how to hunker down. This PSG knows how to come back from a very complicated situation, especially, this PSG knows how to outplay the opponent.
