Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) underwent significant changes last summer, a transformation desired by the management and implemented by Luis Enrique.
The two « problematic » players have left. Lionel Messi was not extended, and Neymar was sold—a bold decision by PSG that continues to generate headlines, with both players not hesitating to criticize their former club whenever the opportunity arises.
However, according to Le Parisien, the departures of Messi and Neymar have liberated the PSG squad. Some players reportedly struggled with the cohabitation with these two stars, but their exits have paved the way for better harmony within the team. This has allowed players to turn more towards each other.
Luis Enrique, PSG’s coach, expresses his desire to involve everyone and aims for « 20 starters » at PSG. Le Parisien notes that « Luis Enrique can rely on decisive substitutes capable of making a difference late in the game. This innovation echoes the Spanish coach’s desire to involve his entire squad. »
