Paris Saint-Germain's coach, Luis Enrique, enjoys strong support from the team's players amid the ongoing tension with Kylian Mbappé. The newspaper "Le Parisien" reported that Enrique is rotating the starting lineup for two reasons: first, to motivate his players and put them under pressure, and second, for physical recovery.
It noted that the Spanish coach has successfully convinced the Paris players that every member will play a role this season. The report continued that the players supported Enrique when he announced the substitution of Mbappé at halftime during the match against Monaco.
The newspaper revealed that "no player attempted to embrace or comfort Mbappé; instead, they maintained complete professionalism and focus, listening to their coach's instructions before returning to the field." It pointed out that some players were surprised by their teammate's absence from the bench, but Mbappé sitting in the stands was not a major topic of discussion among the players.
It confirmed that the atmosphere was good at PSG's training session on Sunday, as players shared laughter and a sense of humor. The players regarded the meeting between Enrique and Mbappé last Saturday morning as a way to clear the air between the two parties.
Le Parisien stated: "Paris players were not surprised by their teammate Mbappé's decision to leave the team at the end of the current season." It concluded its report by noting that after a month of this turmoil, PSG players are committed to the team's collective goals rather than being concerned about their teammate's recent struggles.
