João Neves, the 22-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, spoke on Canal+ about the expectations set by Luis Enrique. The Portuguese player explained that his coach has tasked him with recording 10 goals and 10 assists—part of a tactical setup in which midfielders are also expected to find the back of the net. (Statement transcribed by us).
João Neves: “He always wants more, more, more.”
“Regardless of how many goals he scores, João Neves simply does his job. Luis Enrique shares that same mentality; he wants me to reach 10 goals and 10 assists. His style of play is designed so that midfielders score goals, too—since we don’t play with a traditional number 9. He tells us to stay calm, while simultaneously pushing us to do more. He’s never fully satisfied with us; he always wants more, more, more.”
