After a lively but unfortunate match for PSG, defeat was the outcome. Following the game, Daniel Riolo, a consultant on RMC, didn’t hesitate to question the decisions of PSG’s coach, Luis Enrique.
« How can you build intensity when some players aren’t even in their proper positions? Even the players are surprised! They find out the team lineup at breakfast! Luis Enrique brings surprises, it’s like opening a Kinder Surprise egg! Every day they open one and find out how they’re going to play… The players are bewildered by the lineups. What’s the point? I’ve been asking myself for six months! When has it ever worked? Xavi goes for a classic, simple 4-3-3, with each player in their position. Luis Enrique, on the other hand, shakes everything up, » the journalist stated.
« He decided that Vitinha was a number 6 when we know very well he’s better further up the field because he can be decisive being closer to Mbappé for the final pass. There’s no number 6 in this team. If you put Vitinha in the number 6 role, you have nobody in the attacking midfield. I’ve been saying this for six months. The players aren’t being put in their best positions. Mbappé likes playing with a number 9, so why not put him in his best position? He’s good with a number 9! » Riolo added.
