Vitinha thanks Luis Enrique for his development | OneFootball

Vitinha, a 25-year-old midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain and Portugal, shared his thoughts in an interview with Ligue1+ broadcast this Sunday before the match against Nantes. He was notably invited to speak about his role and the importance of coach Luis Enrique in his career.

Vitinha: "You have to step out of your comfort zone."

Vitinha: "I didn't know how to position myself before to have the most fluidity."

It has long been said that PSG needed to recruit a physically powerful sentinel, and that coach Luis Enrique was making a mistake by moving Vitinha back a notch instead of leaving him as a relay player. Ultimately, the Spanish coach found the player he needed for his style of play. And the Portuguese continues to be decisive at times, like on Sunday in Nantes. It's another great reminder that it's important to take a step back and push the analysis rather than sticking to ideas launched by certain journalists or media that take up space.

Luis Enrique has managed to help Vitinha progress, like many other players, and find him a role that suits him. It's a very nice move by the Spanish coach, and his Portuguese international doesn't forget to be grateful. This is something that can be found in the speeches of many other players, and it's certainly not a coincidence. With also always this famous confidence. We can only hope that Vitinha can continue at this level for a long time. He seems well on his way.
