PSG has long been considered a giant in Europe. With huge funds from Qatari owners, they always want to recruit the biggest stars. The peak of this was when Paris owned Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in the squad. However, this did not bring PSG success, especially when they continuously failed in the Champions League.
This season, the last big star, Mbappe, left PSG. Despite that, coach Enrique is still doing well with collective play, not relying too much on superstar players like before. In the press conference before the match against Girona in the Champions League, captain Marquinhos also agreed with the team's new plan.
He was quoted by PSG Talk: "He has experience and knows what he is talking about. Even if we don't have big names, the team can still achieve great things.
Enrique knows other players will come in. Dembele and Barcola are scoring, happy, confident and that is important. The coach has led us with the philosophy he wants for the club. The collective identity is growing.”
PSG are off to an impressive start to the season. They have won all four of their Ligue 1 games, scoring 16 goals and are currently top of the table. No longer relying solely on Mbappe as before, nine players have scored so far.
The PSG captain stressed that PSG still maintains its quality: "I always think that my teammates are the best in the world. This team will always be the best team. Even without the big stars, the team will still go on to success."
