Enrique puts an end to PSG's 'circus'.

Since Luis Enrique arrived at PSG, a quiet but powerful revolution has begun.

PSG is different now.

No longer a team relying solely on famous names, PSG has now become a disciplined collective, with players committed to giving their all and the management focusing on developing young talent. This is a completely different PSG from the "glamorous" and unstable team fans have been familiar with in recent years.

Strict initial steps

From the very first training session in the summer of 2023, Luis Enrique set non-negotiable requirements. PSG players, even top stars like Neymar or Kylian Mbappe, had to sign a attendance sheet confirming their presence at the training session.

No excuses for absence were accepted, and even injured players were encouraged to be present. If they didn't sign the attendance sheet, they wouldn't be allowed to play. This was one of Enrique's first moves to emphasize the importance of discipline within the team.

Just a few months later, Neymar left at the end of the summer transfer window. A year later, Mbappe left PSG on a free transfer when his contract expired. This change may be surprising, but no one can deny that Enrique created a demanding work environment with no room for laziness or arrogance from the stars.

Enrique not only demands commitment from his players, but he is also a role model of seriousness and discipline. The former Barcelona manager is very attentive to his own nutrition and physical fitness.

He is known for participating in extreme sporting challenges such as Iron Man and the Marathon des Sables – a 249 km marathon across the Sahara Desert. Enrique's dedication inspires PSG players, helping them improve their fitness and achieve optimal performance.

Luis Enrique has transformed PSG.

Enrique also constantly improved his coaching methods. Although he didn't speak French when he first arrived at PSG, he recorded his instructions and sent them back to each player, ensuring they understood exactly what needed to be done. This not only enhanced the interaction between the coach and the players but also helped them feel like an important part of the overall strategy.

Ignore the stars, celebrate the team.

Despite possessing big stars, especially Mbappe, Enrique never let these names become the center of PSG. He always emphasized that the true star of the team is the collective, not individuals.

This is the clear message Enrique wants to send to the players: they must put the team's interests above all else. And this is proven through his decisive decisions.

Even Mbappe – the club's biggest name last season – wasn't exempt. Enrique once criticized the French player after a match, saying that it was pointless to have a world-class player if he didn't give his all for the team. Despite being a big star, the French striker couldn't escape Enrique's strict discipline.

With Ousmane Dembele, another player who had been overlooked in important matches, Enrique applied a similar approach. However, after being moved to the center forward position in December 2024, Dembele showed a remarkable transformation. He not only played well but also became a role model of dedication and tireless fighting spirit.

With the departure of world-class stars, PSG has shifted its focus to investing heavily in talented young players. A prime example is Desire Doue, the 19-year-old who scored the equalizer in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Aston Villa. This demonstrates that PSG is not relying solely on established stars, but is building a young, dynamic, and promising team for the future.

PSG is no longer a team of "drama".

For Enrique, the team is not just a place for stars to shine, but a complete system where every player has an important role. Together with Sporting Director Luis Campos, he built a disciplined and win-hungry PSG, exemplified by their Ligue 1 championship win without a single defeat.

With his decisive coaching style and long-term strategic vision, Enrique has brought a new wave to PSG. No longer a team focused on flashy individuals, PSG under the Spanish coach is becoming a strong, disciplined, and formidable force.

Enrique completely transformed PSG, turning a team full of stars but lacking cohesion into a truly strong, disciplined team that always fights with all its might for a common goal. And this is what made PSG a formidable team not only in Ligue 1 but also on the European stage.

The era of "glamour" at PSG has officially ended, making way for a new club that is strong, disciplined, and talented. And if one thing is certain, it is that this team promises to go even further under the leadership of Luis Enrique.
