Luis Enrique admits wish, turns to ex-Sporting man: It'd be a dream... | OneFootball

At a press conference held this Thursday, on the eve of PSG’s game against Toulouse, the opening match of the 28th round of Ligue 1, Luis Enrique admitted he would like his players to be able to master several positions on the pitch and used Nuno Mendes as an example.

“I’d like to have players who could play in every position. Nuno Mendes as a full-back, winger and forward... It would be a dream to have twenty players who could play in every position. Imagine what our opponents would think if they saw us with a starting team made up of players who can play in any position,” he began.

The Spanish coach spoke about the difficulty of the match awaiting him. “We need to win to show that we are ready, because Lens play the derby against Lille this weekend, which will be a difficult game. Toulouse are a very good team, physically strong and, according to the statistics, they may lose away from home, but rarely by more than one goal,” he said.

It is worth remembering that Nuno Mendes appears on the latest CIES list, the most profitable academies of the last decade, putting Sporting in a prominent position on the international stage.
