Daily Digest: Borja Alvarez’s methods and France’s World Cup base camp | OneFootball

This Saturday, January 10, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain and the methods of Borja Alvarez, the trusted goalkeeping coach of Luis Enrique. There is also the choice of the French Team's base camp for the 2026 World Cup.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Borja Alvarez stands out, compared to the French method, with a less "clan" approach to goalkeepers, while maintaining a very important connection with coach Luis Enrique. Above all, his sessions are based on a thorough analysis of the opponent. He takes into account the opponent's habits (depth, crosses, shooting style, etc.) to replicate these situations as much as possible, with the aim of having a goalkeeper ready to make decisions.

This approach, evidently, surprises in France and requires an adaptation period. But the results prove him right. Notably during penalty shootouts with an impressive 5/5 marked by saves from his 3 goalkeepers (and not just missed shots).

As for the choice of the Bleus, it at least provides clarity and allows some projection towards the World Cup. Even though there is still a lot of time, with great moments to experience before entering this competition. We hope that Boston will bring good fortune to the French Team.
