Private Meeting Between Luis Enrique and Mbappé Revealed
PSG's Luis Enrique is making headlines for his documentary "You Have No * Idea," where he makes impactful statements. One of them has recently gone viral, as it involves a motivational talk directed at the best player in the world, Kylian Mbappé.
"I read that you like Michael Jordan. Well, Michael Jordan would grab all his teammates and defend with intensity. You’re going to have to set that example as a person and as a player by pressing. You will be the one marking Cubarsí, both him and Ter Stegen. You're going to spend the entire game pressing Cubarsí so he doesn't advance, and Ter Stegen so he plays quickly. Why? To be a leader. You think you only need to score goals. You're a phenomenon, a top world player, but for me that’s not enough. A true leader helps defensively when they aren't scoring goals. Takes the initiative and says, 'Guys, defensive line. Stay there, I'll take care of my teammates'... and you set an example by pressing. Do you know what we'll have? A real team machine."
These statements have aged very well, as they helped eliminate Barcelona from the quarter-finals of the previous Champions League season, with a 6-4 aggregate, thanks to Mbappé's outstanding performance.
The best players in the world are usually seen motivating their teammates, like Messi did in the Copa América 2021 final or Cristiano Ronaldo from the bench in EURO 2016. However, now Luis Enrique has motivated Mbappé to become the best player in the world.
