Luis Enrique reveals what sparked PSG’s attacking flair last season

Luis Enrique, 55 years old, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, revisited the UEFA site to discuss the difficult start to the season and the turning point that reinvigorated his team. After a hesitant beginning, PSG regained its efficiency and confidence thanks to a major tactical adjustment.

Luis Enrique "During the first three or four matches, we were walking on a tightrope"

"During the first three or four matches, we were walking on a tightrope, even though we deserved to earn a lot more points. Things started to get difficult, our confidence dropped. The altruism of the team players changed this. We tackled the issue of efficiency in front of the goal head-on: "Why wouldn't we focus on something else?

Luis Enrique "Why not focus on finding the best positioned player"

Why not focus on finding the best positioned player in the penalty area?" Our statistics changed after this, victories came automatically, we regained our confidence automatically, and these same players or this same team that hadn't won these matches suddenly started winning with relative ease."

Luis Enrique acknowledged that the first three or four matches put PSG on the razor's edge, despite performances that could have earned more points. The key to change? A collective reflection on offensive efficiency. The Spanish coach encouraged his players to prioritize finding the best-positioned teammate in the box rather than taking an immediate shot. This refocus on altruism transformed the statistics: success in front of the goal skyrocketed, victories followed one after the other, and confidence returned almost mechanically. This shift from a rushed attack to a thoughtful attack illustrates the group's ability to adapt and follow instructions, a symbol of a PSG in full tactical maturity.
