Lucas Digne has dismissed comparisons between Barcelona's current attacking style and the system used by Luis Enrique at PSG. Digne, who has played under Enrique at both clubs, emphasizes that the manager constantly adapts his tactical approach rather than repeating past methods.
Why it matters
The comments provide insight into the tactical evolution of high-profile football managers and the nuances of team strategy at the elite level.
Lucas Digne has rejected comparisons between Barcelona's current attacking approach and the system Luis Enrique has developed at Paris Saint-Germain, insisting that the Spanish coach has never been someone who repeats himself.
The comparison has gained attention around Barcelona, particularly after the club finally added a traditional centre-forward in Gabriel Jesus.
Before the Brazilian's arrival, Barça's attacking options encouraged comparisons with Luis Enrique's PSG, where forwards have been given considerable freedom to move across the front line.
Digne, who played under Luis Enrique at Barcelona and now works with him again at PSG, does not see the two approaches as interchangeable.
"No, no, no. If you look at it in terms of ball possession, it's different from how Barça played under Luis Enrique, because he's constantly adapting his football," Digne said, as per Mundo Deportivo .
