Luis Enrique: The manager is behind the PSG operation to the Champions League final Football news

When Luis Enrique leads his team in Paris Saint -Germain (PSG) to play Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday, the coach will seek to win the first European continent award for the first time for the French side and in reverse years of frustration with fans in Parc Des Princes.

This is the club that, until recently, the two stars players boastful with Kylian MBAPPE, Lionel Messi and Neymar JR, but failed to win any European silver tools since the return of the third -class UEFA Cup in 2001.

Since his arrival in 2023, Enrique has radically changed PSG, as he supervised the outstanding outlets from Messi, Neymar and MBAPE, and moved from a team from the advanced galaxy to one of the most exciting aspects in Europe.

Whether Enrique’s method is ultimately the best, it may be judged by what is happening in the Champions League final in Munich.

Enrique player

Away from the events on the field, who is the real Luis Enrique who headed this radical transformation in Paris Saint -Germain?

The 55 -year -old began his football career in 1988, where he played in the midfield, Sporting Gijon, a team in the Spanish Segunda section.

In 1991, he was signed by Mega Club Real Madrid, where Los Blancos helped win La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Super Cup. On the individual level, Enrique was not performing with expectations, which mostly attributed play outside the position on the wing and in more defensive roles.

FC Barcelona Enrique picked up in 1996, returning to the role of the preferred central midfield. I paid profits for the Catalan giants and Enrique went to win La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Thorphies Super Cuphies with Barca.

After retiring as a player in 2004, he went to the administration and raised an invitation level from the current director of Manchester, Pep Guardiola.

Enrique began his training career at FC Barcelona “B”, before moving to Rome in the Italian First Division for the 2011-2012 season. The Spaniard was dismissed at the end of the season, with his contract remaining, after Roma finished seventh place in the first local competition.

Expectations Management

His next step was to Celta Vigo from the Spanish Lega – but he also left this club after only one year. After that, Enrique received an administrative opportunity to change his career, as he returned to Barcelona as director of the first team.

His reign was crowned for four years in the Nou camp with Barcelona’s victory in the 2015 Champions League final against Juventus, with “Big-3” from Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, leading the offensive line, and completed the rare Treble for the club: La Liga (La Liga) (Copa Delhy Cours).

If PSG won the Champions League final on Saturday, Enrique will make history become the only man who has achieved three times on two occasions.

When Enrique won the title of Spain coach in 2018, he entered a new world of international football.

Before the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Spain was imagined the winners. However, after a 16th crushing tour of the weakened Morocco, Enrique announced his resignation from the national side.

The ongoing media speculation has linked the next administrative position to Enrique with the transition to the Premier League.

He was met by Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea – but Paris Saint -Germain was surprised by many, who obtained his signature.

Perhaps this unique challenge of winning the Champions League with one of two European Super clubs only did not achieve the teacher – Arsenal also – which made him head to Paris.

Or perhaps the desire to show his vision to attack football by rebuilding the club on its way.

Take me to Paris

A recent documentary of three parts, produced by Zoom Sport Films, presented an intimate picture of the coach who allowed cameras in his private life for the first time, despite Enrique’s well -known hostility towards the media.

You don’t have an idea p *** (You have no idea F ******) reveals a paid man who is enthusiastic about football like his family – and keep your fitness.

Viewers see Enrick arrive in Paris Saint -Germain speaking only a few words from French. However, he imposes his personality on the club from the start.

Enrique, who was known for his name, Lucho, is known for bringing a training team that spanning Spanish with him and addressing the players in his own language, with the help of a French translator.

It also seems that the relationships with his biggest star – MBAPPE – are getting worse, viewers are dealt with Enrique with the star player giving what former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson used to name “hair drying treatment”, or great news.

However, since this is France, Enrique calls it a “catastrophic disaster” on a major presentation screen for the attacker. The Spaniard refuses to refuse MBAPPE to defense at all after PSG was beaten 2-3 at home by Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in April last year.

Although the star of the star, Paris Saint -Germain will move to the semi -finals, where they were eventually beaten by Borussia Dortmund. A year later, Enrique’s comments may turn after the match to be a prophet:

“It is now a sad moment, but sometimes you have to accept sport in this way. We have to try to create something special next year and win it.”

Behind the scenes with Luco

It is strange for the football manager, a lot of his day is to study his team on a series of computer screens. This permeates the exercises. He says, “You should move every half an hour.” In the documentary, Enrique, in his luxurious Parisian home, is seen regularly with arduous exercises or cycling.

In the Paris Saint -Germain training camp, it mixes the team of conversations with diving in the ice pool. He is paying off, because the manager is decent. But when he wanders around the field, he is always barefoot because he believes in “grounding” or returning to nature.

The documentary mixes moments of the brilliant Enrique profession, from Real Madrid and Parka, as well as the role of Spain – good and bad. It is not surprising that the lowest point is when Morocco disturbs Spain and reads the preferred bets from the World Cup.

Away from football, we also see a thin side to Lucho when the documentary touches its close relationship with his younger daughter, Zana, who died at the age of nine of bone sarkoma, bone tumor, in 2019.

Enrique was established mainly in her name with his wife, Elena Collel, to try to help other families who suffer from the same condition.

Graham Hunter, a producer in the documentary and football journalist, described an ENRIKUE’s friend as a “claim and inspiration”.

“As a soccer player, he was exceptional. Roy Kane, Spanish. His ability to play everywhere on the field, reduced his quality because managers used him all over the field. He was loaded in Madrid and Barcelona.”

“He didn’t want to be a coach in the first place.

Hunter believes that Enrique changed the style of playing for the Spain team during his administrative term, as he presented a young talent like Bidri.

“He built what has become a winning privilege and carries a great deal of credit for him,” he said.

Hunter says Enurik not only went to Paris Saint -Germain to win the Champions League.

“He went to Paris Saint -Germain to put his trademark from football and persuade the players, and the fans that it was a great and modern way to play football and do so, you have to win in the Champions League. For him, he is interested in how people see football as attacking and inspiring like winning prizes.”
