"PSG will play better without Kylian Mbappe" - Coach Luis Enrique said so in early 2024, when star Mbappe was rumored to leave PSG to move to Real Madrid.
PSG overturns doubts
The Spanish strategist’s statement at that time was met with a lot of criticism. Many people were unhappy, thinking that coach Enrique was too arrogant. Others thought the opposite, that the Spanish strategist seemed to be trying to avoid PSG’s problem: about to lose its biggest star.
But whatever it is, everyone agrees that coach Enrique will sooner or later fail at PSG.
That assessment seems to be correct when PSG did not start this season very well. The French capital team was ranked 25th in the Champions League group stage and was very close to being eliminated.
At that time, questions about the absence of Mbappe - PSG's top scorer for 6 consecutive seasons - returned. At PSG, no star means no way out. Don't forget how many coaches have buried their reputations at PSG despite having Neymar, Messi, Mbappe, Ramos... No one believed that coach Enrique's young squad would make it when the famous stars all failed.
All of this urges people to believe that coach Enrique will soon suffer a bitter end at PSG.

In a context where skepticism surrounded the Parc des Princes, coach Enrique remained steadfast in his philosophy. And then things got better for PSG, they began to play well in all competitions.
Match by match, step by step, coach Enrique and his team overcame all doubts. And when PSG overwhelmingly defeated Inter Milan to win the Champions League 5-0 in the early morning of June 1, winning the treble this season, they became exceptionally great.
PSG redefines itself

Using the word great to describe PSG is not an exaggeration. The word great is not only used to talk about the titles they have won this season. We are talking about a profound transformation at the French capital club. PSG has gone from a team defined by the strength and stature of its stars to a team defined by its playing style, clear tactics and strong collective belief.
Coach Enrique, a father with family pain always deep in his heart, in his second year in Paris has done many things that his predecessors could not do. Not only did he win the Champions League, but he also built a very clear identity for PSG. That identity was created by a squad of young players, of which Desire Doue is a typical example.
PSG's success under coach Enrique goes against the previous football thinking of the club's owners. Spending money on buying stars does not always lead to success. A team needs a solid foundation, foundation and roots, which is the most important thing. Only then can success come.
PSG is the embodiment of the most correct philosophy of football. It can be covered by the glitz of money but money will soon disappear, only the correct philosophy that is operated smoothly will last forever.
