@wmaurik Poch wasn’t a bad coach but he failed at managing the ego’s of the PSG player’s and hence I feel that Enrique will do a better job due to his vast experience. Furthermore I’m keen to see what kind of rebuild will Enrique do because buying star player’s has back fired and Mbappe is bound to leave next year hence he has to rebuild this squad immediately.
Pochettino was not a good coach at PSG. The way PSG played were hurtful to the eyes. They were horrible. In fact, it was due to those big players that he was able to maintain the top spot position.
PSG had no style of play, they played so individually. They couldn't create chances, they couldn't break defenses and their own defence was awful. When a team with Messi and Neymar in attack struggles to create chances then you know the coach is bad.
PSG's condition shouldn't be channelled to Potchetino only
. It's not easy to manage a team with the likes of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. What if those men didn't play according to his rules? What if they struggled to see themselves first before the team? I don't see it to be completely Potchetino's fault. The same may repeat itself under the tutelage of a different coach with a different coaching perspective. The operation and understanding of players, couple with their relationship with the coach, also have a role here.
During Cavani's time at PSG, the team did only well when the strikers had more control of the ball, and that's how a player like Neymar got to fit into the play, along with Di Maria. We only got to see more formative play when Mbappe got added and Messi came. Of course Messi couldn't fit in for the first few games because the game was really random upfront. With his age too.
Neymar is a natural selfish player, can dribble, the rest I mentioned had same prowess and can topple a defense in secs count.
Will Zidane have been a better manager for PSG?
