PSG – Lens: Luis Enrique shocks with a completely unexpected team composition
A few hours before kick-off against RC Lens, Paris Saint-Germain once again hit the headlines. The Spanish coachLuis Enriqueunveiled a composition that took everyone short. With no less thanSix changesCompared to the last match, the technician surprised not only supporters, but also French football experts, who struggle to understand the logic behind his choices.
As soon as the match sheet was announced, social networks ignited. Many fans have expressed their perplexity: why upset a workforce that finally seemed to find a certain balance? Some see it as a desire to experiment in Ligue 1, others fear a risky poker stroke against a tough opponent like Lens.
Among the surprises, we note the absence of several executives usually holders. Instead, Luis Enrique called on younger or less used players since the start of the season. A daring choice that could either revive certain individual dynamics or expose the team to unexpected difficulties.
During the press conference, Luis Enrique fully assumed his decision:
“I trust my whole group. Everyone must be ready to play and prove. Tonight is the perfect opportunity to show that PSG is a team and not an addition of individuals. »»
Despite these declarations, many observers remain skeptical. The former French international Jérôme Rothen said in particular on RMC:
“I don’t understand what he wants to do. Six changes at once, it’s huge, especially in such an important match. We play with fire. »»
The RC Lens, for its part, did not fail to follow this announcement carefully. The Lensois coach has already suggested that his men had to take advantage of this Parisian instability to try to create surprise.
Anyway, this PSG “experimental” version will be scrutinized very closely. If Luis Enrique succeeds in his bet and the team is largely imposed, he will be praised for his audacity and his ability to manage a plethoric workforce. But in the event of poor performance, criticism may be extremely severe, some already going so far as to say that the Spaniard “plays with his own seat”.
The kick-off is approaching, and one thing is certain: the mystery around Luis Enrique’s intentions only adds an additional tension to this Ligue 1 shock. Is Paris being reinvented, or running an unnecessary risk? Answer this evening at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium.
