Inter Miami left-back Jordi Alba, 36, spoke in the mixed zone after his team’s qualification for the Club World Cup. The Spaniard praised the work of Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, and was full of praise for the quality of the Parisian club’s play, as reported by Le Parisien.
Alba “I can’t wait to see him”.
“He’s the best. Not only as a coach, but also as a group manager. He’s a phenomenon, and I can’t wait to see him. As are Rafael Pol, Joaquin Valdes (his assistants), his entire staff and all the players who have played for Barcelona.
PSG?
It’s the club that plays the best soccer today. They’re very versatile and have some very good players, midfielders who have the ball. I think they’re the most complete team. We’ll see how far we can go and try to be competitive.”
Ahead of the Round of 16 clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami, Jordi Alba was keen to highlight the excellent work of Luis Enrique, whom he worked alongside at FC Barcelona and with the Spanish national team. For Alba, Luis Enrique is not only an exceptional coach, but also an outstanding leader of men, capable of uniting a group around an ambitious project.
The former Barcelona man also emphasized the versatility and depth of the Parisian squad, praising the technical mastery of the midfielders and PSG’s ability to impose their game on any opponent. For Alba, Paris today embodies the most complete soccer in Europe, a model of teamwork and tactical intelligence that sets the standard on the international stage.
On the eve of an emotional reunion, the Spaniard made no secret of his admiration for his former team-mates and for the Parisian staff, while expressing Inter Miami’s determination to rival the reigning European champions.
