For the past two matches, Luis Enrique, the coach of Paris Saint-Germain, has been making headlines by taking his seat in the stands at the Parc des Princes during the first half. This isn’t just a one-off; according to RMC Sport, a dedicated space is being set up to provide him with better conditions.
“According to information obtained by RMC Sport, a dedicated area will be installed in the stands at the Parc des Princes so that Luis Enrique can give his instructions under optimal conditions. It remains to be seen whether this area will be ready for use next Saturday for the match against Auxerre.”
It’s a credible claim, as it’s unlikely a sports media outlet would report on something so specific without some basis. It also makes sense, given that Luis Enrique seems very satisfied with this new approach. So, why not refine it as much as possible? The Spaniard emphasized that this allows him to better analyze the game and guide his players on small adjustments to make during the first half and at halftime, before taking his place on the sidelines for the second half.
He had been discussing this idea for some time and is already accustomed to observing from a distance during training sessions, so Luis Enrique has now implemented it for matches. This will likely only be used for home games, to minimize any potential risks.
It’s worth noting that Luis Enrique isn’t the first to mention this possibility or to experiment with it. However, he is currently the one pushing this approach further than anyone else, always striving for continuous improvement.
