      What Luis Enrique needs to do at PSG, is implement a style that fits the players, make them play as a team, the main important thing to do at PSG is to handle the dressing room control some of the biggest personalities in world football, manage all the big egos and go about your business. Unfortunately, PSG aren't ran very well as a club and every manager they've had PSG have been Hollywood FC more than PSG seriously as they've failed to stamp the authority in the dressing room and hence why we call PSG a circus. This time around with Luis Enrique, PSG need planning and a strategy for him, they've made too many bad decisions and part of it has been the managerial situation. In 12 years the project started in 2011, they've had 7 managers, Carlo Ancelotti from 2011-2013, Laurent Blanc from 2013-2016, Unai Emery from 2016-2018 Thomas Tuchel from 2018-2020, Mauricio Pochettino 2021-2022, Christophe Galiter from 2022-2023. The lack of patience when it comes to managers has been an issue and they've came then then go and it's been the case at PSG every season during this takeover and hopefully with a new policy, this changes at PSG this time around because no club is ever having European success with this sort of model for their managers.

      Can Luis Enrique be the manager that takes PSG to champions league glory? We ask that every single season, PSG have a squad full of superstars and they've had talented players, I've said this many times, PSG aren't a team and they need to be a team if this project is to progress, and assuming their new signings arrive and a certain superstar assuming he stays at the club this is how I think PSG will lineup next season, 4-3-3

      Attack- Marco Asensio Neymar Kylian Mbappe ,Midfield- Vitinha Manuel Ugarte Marco Verratti Defense- Achraf Hakimi Marquinhos Milan Skinriar Nuno Mendes Goalkeeper- Gianluigi Donnarumma.

      If he stays, we expect Kylian Mbappe to continue strutting his stuff and carrying that PSG attack scoring goals, Neymar will stay and we need to see the Neymar of 2015-2016, if he stays fit for the entire season and returns to his best and remains consistent that's good for PSG, they need to control the midfield and play with possession and they can do that, Ugarte gives them more stability and balance in that midfield allowing Marco Verratti to utilize the ball with his feet and Vitinha can make more of an impact in the team, PSG at the back is a mess as they let in too many goals and the arrival of Milan Skinriar on a free along with Marquinhos should sore things up in defense and the likes of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are both great in attack and excellent in defense, they need to stop letting in too many goals, they've made some smart investments and have gotten a really good coach, this will never happen, I honestly hope PSG can somehow win the champions league because to have that many good players yet still not win it it's a problem.

      We say this about PSG every season, it's a squad full of talented players, they boast some world class players, but when it comes to the champions league, the players don't show up. No matter what players they have, what coach they have, or owners, PSG somehow find ways to collapse in the champions league and this small club mentality lack of desire and purpose to win needs to change ASAP under Luis Enrique because they've lacked desire a winning mentality and a proper attitude and no team is ever winning the champions league with that weak attitude. Another thing is PSG have so much talent on paper, it's a team carrying too many passengers on the field and no manager has fixed that problem, how many teams win the champions league carrying a passenger in the side, PSG have so many of them including Neymar which that is holding them back in this competition and he's not alone when PSG have a lot in that team and those are the ones who don't care and are only there for a check rather than showing fight and playing for the badge. PSG's problems Luis Enrique should solve them, if the board and management are patient with him, give him time, PSG might have a project in place, we've said that every year, PSG have a project and what ends up happening every season the same old circus.

      The success will definitely be a Ligue 1 title cause that's guarantee for any manager with PSG but Champions League wise we shall see

      As much as we Hate on the new rich clubs Let's be honest Most of us who love Football want PSG to have a Good Ending Just like City Did. The now have a Manager that can Make them Win it if they give Enrique As much time as Guardiola did.

      The hatred towards Neymar is absolutely insane that’s the first person they blamed. Ney is the only player who ever got Paris to the golden gates the team failed him the fans failed him he didn’t fail them

    13. Abhinav Shanker Lal on

      The worst aspect of the PSG team is their midfield, Sanchez, Ruiz are all waste of money. Vitinha is too inconsistent. They could have won a lot with that attack of MNM if only that midfield could carry their weight.

      After 1 season with zero Ucl trophy, manager gets sacked easily. Thats why Klopp & Pep are smart not to. Same old same old Psg 😆😆

      They’re never gna win the CL with the current crop of players unless he demands nothing but commitment. The current crop of players are too big headed.

      Can't believe these guys think Neymar doesn't defend
      Didn't they watch psg last season?

      Get rid of Neymar particularly? These guys and their hate on Neymar is embarrassing

    26. Showket Chowdhury on

      Neymar was the only forward defending last season and still putting incredible offensive numbers despite not taking penalties. Give Neymar a proper number 9 like Harry Kane or Oshimen, fire the arrogant turtle Mbappe, and see PSG play beautiful football.

      Ownership at PSG is the problem for all the coaches hired. You have to give a coach a chance to put his philosophy in the players. Success is does come a day but PSG are so much in the hurry sacking coaches like flies rushing to particular place odor is coming from. I doubt it as to whether Luise Enrique will succeed because by this next season they will be having different coach.

    33. Utshob Mallick on

      Summary : Luis Enrique will depend on Neymer more than Mbappe which will cause the exit of Mbappe.
      League 1 playing philosophy doesn't match with Spanish coaches like Enrique who likes thikithaka. Enrique may be fired in the mid season or at the end of the season.
