Luis Enrique not afraid of PSG’s dependence on Mbappé… yet

PSG performs better at the start of the season when Kylian Mbappé is on the field: is this a cause for concern? Not for Luis Enrique.

Kylian Mbappé has already scored 7 goals in Ligue 1. The difference has been noticeable since his return to the starting lineup. Should this Mbappé dependence be a cause for concern, especially when Kolo Muani and Dembélé are missing opportunities, and Ramos isn’t finding his partners?

« It’s a good concern. If you have a player like Kylian Mbappé, who usually scores 50 goals, it would be ridiculous to think that he won’t maintain these numbers, » assures Luis Enrique. « What we need is for him to continue improving, and for his teammates to contribute more, » says the PSG coach.

Regarding Kolo Muani and Ramos, Luis Enrique hopes for improvement. « I expect a lot from all the players. What we expect is to be an efficient team in both attack and defense. We focus on statistics, but assists are important. »

« The way we start the game as well, when we require good ball delivery to the attackers so they can finish. We try to make the attackers press. I can’t just focus on the players who score. »
