Now there are no longer any special players in the PSG squad and it is clearly easier for Luis Enrique to get the best approach in implementing game strategy. Previously, PSG had Kylian Mbappe, who was actually the golden boy of this club, so it was only natural that PSG management asked each coach to prioritize the player by giving him a lot of trust and freedom.

Any team that has a golden boy in its squad tends to rely on that one player. The coach builds the game around the player and he is the target man when it comes to scoring goals. In Manchester City's case, Haaland is the target man who has been the most prolific bomber so far, but I don't think PSG has that right now. In my impression, PSG is better off without gold because this can give their coach the freedom to rotate when needed.
Several seasons ago PSG had many big problems because they were greedy by buying many star players. However, their game was still not good because each coach only focused on star players so that their goal productivity was low because all players only focused on star players. However, after several star players left PSG, Enrique was freer to implement a new strategy so that we can see it with the many goals scored, even they can always achieve big wins without star players.

This week they will face Brest, although Brest cannot be underestimated because last season they managed to enter the UCL league zone, but I am pessimistic if they can maintain that position until the end of the season because usually teams like Brest are only good seasonally. Even so, I think PSG will pursue victory in this match. Because in my opinion PSG's mission this season is not to focus on league 1, but they will try their best to be consistent in order to get lots of points so that they are further away from other teams, they can focus on the UCL league because it must be admitted that PSG's current focus is the UCL league trophy.
