The atmosphere inside Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is unusual. Following rumors of discord between the squad and Luis Enrique, news has been reported that Enrique is preparing for a large-scale reorganization of the squad next year.
Citing reports by French “RMC Sport” Fabrice Hawkins and Artur Ferret, the “PSG Report,” which delivers PSG news, said on the 2nd (Korea time), “Coach Enrique is not satisfied with what he has said publicly, Darryl and the quality of the team. The club’s board of directors has become convinced that changes are needed for development after the defeat against Bayern Munich.”
PSG is facing the worst atmosphere. It was reported that Enrique is in conflict with some players including Usman Dembele. “The relationship between Dembele and Enrique is getting tense and deteriorating. Enrique is extremely angry at Dembele’s dismissal at the match against Munich and his attitude,” the French newspaper L’Equipe reported on Sunday.
Dembele had the trust of Enrique this season. Dembele has been playing his role fully, scoring five goals and four assists in 12 matches in the league, across selection and replacement. However, the situation has turned around. He was sent off at a match against Munich in the UEFA Champions League held on June 27. Dembele attempted a deep tackle at the seventh minute of the second half, but was sent off due to accumulation of warnings. After failing to overcome their numerical inferiority, PSG lost to Munich 0-1.
Later, another feud between Dembele and Enrique was revealed. “Enrique considers Dembele an inexperienced player and is exhausted. Meanwhile, Dembele does not understand why he was excluded from the last UCL match. 토토사이트 꽁머니 He does not understand why only he was punished and other players who were late this season received no punishment,” L’Equipe said.
“Also, Dembele has recently expressed confusion over Enrique’s tactical approach. He feels that his team’s style of play is too rigid and predictable. According to PSG sources, Enrique thinks he has completely lost Dembele,” he said, adding that the conflict between the two has deepened. Hawkins also reported that Enrique is in conflict with Bradley Barcola as well as Dembele.
The worst news is not over. Enrique, who was very satisfied with PSG’s squad, was not satisfied with the quality of the squad. Enrique particularly expressed satisfaction with the strikers in public. Since Gonzalo Hamus was absent, he has used several strikers, including Barcola, Lee Kang-in, Dembele, Marco Asensio, and Desiree Due. Enrique was satisfied with the strikers’ performances and praised their “multiple skills.”
In the meantime, there was news that the club wanted a massive reshuffle. PSG Report said, “The club is not planning a revolution in the middle of the season, but it wants to overhaul the squad between the upcoming January transfer window and the June transfer window. If the right player is available, the club is ready to move.”
Lee Kang-in’s position could be put on a “red light.” Coach Enrique continued to praise Lee Kang-in for his consistent performance in recent years. In particular, he emphasized the “multiple” part. It is not clear whether Lee Kang-in is on Enrique’s list of murderers, but given the news that he is preparing for a large-scale reorganization, Lee Kang-in’s competitor may be recruited. Lee Kang-in, who has not yet established a full starting position. As we have shown so far, we should take full advantage of the opportunity given.
