'An analysis I've never seen before' - Luis Enrique living at PSG training ground for 'eight months' as Nasser Al-Khelaifi reveals club were 'worried' about coach's intensity

President Al-Khelaifi has shared details regarding the coach's immense work ethic which resulted in the team's historic quadruple, including their maiden Champions League title. The Qatari businessman noted that the Spaniard employed unique analytical methods on the training ground. He emphasised that the extensive time and effort invested eventually raised concerns within the club.

Speaking in an interview on AlkassTV, Al-Khelaifi said: "I think we're the only club — or maybe there's another one like Bayer Leverkusen — to have a giant screen in their training ground. He sits with the players while they train, shows them the screen, the opponent, and his game. He uses an analysis I've never seen before. He's been living at the training ground for eight months. We told him we were worried about him."

Luis Enrique was appointed as head coach of PSG in 2023, with a treble with Barcelona already on his CV. In his debut season at Parc des Princes, the Spanish manager achieved the bare minimum of firing Les Parisiens to Ligue 1 victory, but the Champions League evaded them, getting knocked out in the semi-finals by Borussia Dortmund. However, unlike other years, PSG opted against firing the manager, placing their bets on Luis Enrique's experience and tactical nous. This season, he guided PSG to an almost invincible Ligue 1 triumph, their maiden Champions League, as well as the Coup de France.

Luis Enrique and Co. will travel to the United States for the revamped Club World Cup, which begins on June 14. The newly-crowned Champions League winners will take on Atletico Madrid in the first group stage game on June 15.
