A big post-defeat gift: Luis Enrique gets it, PSG Players Needed it

Luis Enrique clearly has a sense of timing. The day after a defeat that left marks, the PSG coach surprised everyone by offering his players… the best possible gift: three full days off.

Yes, three. Enough to put smiles in the dressing room — though probably not among the fans. Sunday: rest. Monday, December 1: rest. Tuesday, December 2: still rest. Training resumes only on Wednesday at 5 p.m., behind closed doors, the perfect setting to restore order away from prying eyes.

The rest of the week is a mix of catch-up work and controlled communication.

Thursday: Media Day, with a fully open training session to show that everything is fine.
Friday: closed training and Luis Enrique’s press conference, where he’ll likely bring out his usual lines — “We’re in control,” “We’re progressing,” “Nothing to worry about.”

Before all that comes the real challenge: being ready to face Rennes on Saturday at the Parc des Princes, a match already viewed as a test of the team’s reaction. Post-match press duties included.

Rest, rest… and more rest. The squad is exhausted.

And to wrap up this unusual week? Sunday: another day off. PSG may not have won their last game, but one thing is certain — no one can say they aren’t getting enough recovery time. Luis Enrique understood it perfectly: his team needed a breather.
