“I hope that the strongest attacking trio is still to come” at Paris SG, said coach Luis Enrique on Saturday, who is satisfied with the “attitude” of Kylian Mbappé, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé but wants to maintain “competition”.
Asked at a press conference at the PSG Campus in Poissy (Yvelines) about the idea that this trio, the most used currently, could be the strongest, Luis Enrique replied: “I don’t know, maybe yes, maybe -maybe not, but I hope not, I hope the strongest trio is yet to come.
“I’m happy with the attitude” of Mbappé, Barcola and Dembélé, “but if we want to be ambitious, apply for all the titles, we have to be able to count on all the attackers and that they progress, that’s the key” , he added, on the eve of the reception of Brest for the 19th day of Ligue 1. “Generally speaking, I like to use a maximum of players so that there is competition, that “you never know who is going to play,” explained the Spanish technician.
After having used a lot of recruits Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos in the first part of the season, Luis Enrique has since the start of winter favored the option Bradley Barcola on the left and Kylian Mbappé up front, flanked by Dembélé on the right. PSG are first in Ligue 1 (43 points), with a comfortable lead over runner-up Nice (35 points).
