PSG is a destructive machine with no weaknesses

TPO - After what PSG has shown, FIFA's Technical Study Group (TSG) consisting of famous coaches admitted that Luis Enrique has made a real revolution, finally creating a winning machine with no weaknesses for opponents to exploit.

On their way to winning the 2024/25 Champions League, PSG beat Liverpool, Arsenal and destroyed Inter Milan 5-0 in the final. Then Luis Enrique's team went to the US and continued their impressive winning streak, 4-0 against Atletico, 4-0 against Inter Miami, 2-0 against Bayern and again 4-0 against Real. Now they are on the verge of winning the FIFA Club World Cup, which would be their fifth trophy of the season after Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophee des Champions and Champions League.

PSG's incredible effectiveness is built on a mesmerising style of play, constant movement and pressure without the ball, and vertical tiki-taka play when in possession. They keep opponents in suspense and give the impression they can score at any time.

“PSG always have five players in constant rotation, including a false nine who is essentially a winger. Is this a revolutionary idea? I think so, although it is not entirely new. Some teams have done this before, but the special factor here is that PSG has combined so many qualities in one team," said coach Roberto Martinez, who is currently leading the Portuguese national team.

Martinez is part of the FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG), alongside former player Esteban Cambiasso, former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, former Germany and South Korea coach Jurgen Klinsmann and FIFA goalkeeping expert Pascal Zuberbuhler.

Assessing PSG, "Professor" Wenger said: "PSG have very technical players in the center and players with explosive speed down the flanks. All of them can dribble and pass opponents, in addition to the ability to put pressure and make the right decisions in all situations". "PSG often give the feeling of playing with more players than their opponents. That's because they always have many players around the ball", Cambiasso added.

“When I analyzed PSG, I didn't find any significant weaknesses," said Roberto Martinez. "Luis Enrique's team is a unified unit both in defense and attack. Among them, everyone can receive the ball or dribble. It's not that no team has ever done that, the problem is that it's very difficult for any team to reach the same level."

So is there a way to neutralize PSG? According to coach Klinsmann, what Bayern did in the quarter-finals is a hint. "By accepting to play one-on-one all over the pitch, Bayern made things difficult for PSG and were the better team in some periods," he commented. "It's just that Bayern can't maintain it throughout the match, and if just one player stops applying pressure, the system stops working."

Whether Chelsea and coach Enzo Maresca have the optimal plan for the upcoming final, then do better than what Bayern, Real, Inter Miami or Inter Milan have shown, we will wait and see.
