Luis Enrique, the Asturian coach known for his ability to inject character and personality into the teams he leads, faced a major challenge upon his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain. The French club is known for changing projects season after season and the Spanish coach was on a mission to put an end to this trend.
However, the path to the City of Light was not easy for Luis Enrique. The start of his tenure was marked by doubts about the starting lineup and some negative results, which caused alarm among Paris fans. Despite the obstacles, the former Barcelona coach has shown his ability to intervene and has managed to form a team with its own identity that is constantly growing.
According to Sport newspaper, one of Luis Enrique's most striking and controversial decisions was to move Kylian Mbappé to the attacking position, thereby expelling a player who had arrived at PSG last summer with great expectations: Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese striker was acquired in the last market for a sum close to 70 million euros, which raised great expectations as he is currently one of the most promising goalscorers.
“Lucho” doesn’t trust him
However, Luis Enrique's trust in Ramos is low. The Portuguese played a minute in each of the last four games against Metz, and came on as a substitute in the games against Le Havre, Nantes and Lens. This decision affects not only Ramos himself, but also Mbappé, who has been forced to play an unknown role as a “nine”, far from his usual position.
