PSG: Luis Enrique "delighted" to recover Mbappé, "world class"

Kylian Mbappé, the return. Discarded on July 22 by the club's management, the captain of the France team was reinstated in Luis Enrique's squad last Sunday, the day after the draw against Lorient (0-0). This is obviously excellent news for the 53-year-old Spanish coach. “He is in perfect physical condition, as was already the case during the first training sessions. He is full of will, with a good state of mind. I am obviously delighted to have a player of this level available as a coach. Not just for what he brings to football but his personality too. It's world class without a shadow of a doubt, so it's a pleasure for me", he said at a press conference this Friday, at the Poissy training center, on the eve of the trip to Toulouse on behalf of the second day of the French championship. A match in which "Lucho" can also count on Ousmane Dembélé, another "world-class player" and who is also "ready to start" on Saturday. The 26-year-old winger signed up for five years and €50m last Saturday.

Luis Enrique will now focus on integrating the two players into his system, with the question of balance. A major subject knowing the lack of appetite of the two French internationals for defensive tasks… “We are all part of a team here. We worked hard. In our four training sessions this week, we had two on attack, two on defence. The players are very smart and they know that for us to have a chance of achieving our goals, they have to defend well. We worked hard on what we think is important this week. Obviously, we need to keep the balance: we have to attack well, but also defend well, ”recalled the former FC Barcelona coach, also not worried about the complementarity of the attack line, probably with Gonçalo Ramos, defector from Benfica during the off-season. "That's what you'll have to work on! The top players complement each other well. I have no doubt about it, ”he assures, slipping in passing to wait for reinforcements in attack. According to various sources, PSG are working on the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani (Frankfurt) and Bradley Barcola (Lyon).
