Enrique Adopts Rugby Strategies to Enhance PSG’s Performance

As the saying goes, there’s always room for improvement—even being Europe’s top team doesn’t allow Luis Enrique to relax. The PSG head coach is always looking for new ways to boost his team’s performance, sometimes taking hints from other sports.

Details: In a recent match against Lens, Enrique took an unusual approach by moving to the press box to watch the first half from above. He returned to the technical area for the second half. He mentioned that this tactic was inspired by rugby and proved to be quite effective.

Quote: “For a long time, I’ve observed how rugby coaches analyze games from a different viewpoint. I like the chance to look for improvements. I wanted to see the first half from the stands—it’s great. Everything appears different. I can manage everything.

This is an interesting approach I’ll use again. After watching from above, it allows for a better halftime analysis, as I have a clear view of who did well on the pitch. We gain valuable insights,” Enrique explained.
