The coach of Paris Saint Germain (PSG), Luis Enrique, strove to give an image of normality in the first game his team played this Saturday after it became known that Kylian Mbappé will leave at the end of the season, and assured that He gets along “very well” with the star and that “there is no problem.”
In statements to Canal+ at the end of his 0-2 victory in Nantes in a league match, with the second of Mbappé’s own goals, the Spanish coach explained that “it was a difficult match.”
«Coming to this stadium with an incredible atmosphere after a difficult Champions League match, we have tried to change the team. “Some have been able to scratch for a few minutes,” he said in an apparent justification for the fact that he had not started Mbappé, who came onto the field shortly after the visitors’ first goal, already in the second half.
“It’s good that all the players are involved,” he added before emphasizing that “with Mbappé we understand each other very well, there is no problem.”
The coach has not commented so far on the French international’s decision to leave PSG at the end of the season, which is not yet official.
On Friday, when asked at the press conference prior to the Nantes match, his response was that “until the parties involved speak out, I do not intend to comment,” and that “when the parties speak,” he will give his “opinion.” as a coach.
In any case, he wanted to make it clear then that “the club and the team are above individualities.”
A way of implying that PSG cannot be suspended depending on the fate of its star and the destiny he will take in July, and that the season continues.
The Paris club is first in the league with a 14-point difference over the second and keeps all its aspirations intact in the Champions League, after having beaten Real Sociedad last Wednesday in the first leg of the round of 16. EFE
