Paris Saint-Germain is preparing for an away match against Toulouse this Saturday in the 22nd round of Ligue 1. Ahead of the game, Luis Enrique spoke to the press.
The Spanish coach particularly praised Fabian Ruiz, who has often faced criticism from supporters since his arrival in Paris. Luis Enrique stated that he greatly values the midfielder and even admitted that he made a mistake by not calling him up for the 2022 World Cup when he was managing the Spanish national team.
“A mistake on my part. I take responsibility for it.”
“I’m very pleased with his performances. He has been criticized at times, but he’s one of my best midfielders. He knows how to play according to his teammates, he can make decisive passes, play between the lines, move without the ball, create chances, and he has a good shot,” said Luis Enrique.
“Let’s not forget that he was named the best player of the Euros. Not taking him to the World Cup as a coach was a mistake on my part. I take responsibility for it. I’m very happy with what he brings on and off the field. He can still improve, like everyone else. He always plays with full intensity, whether it’s for a minute or 90 minutes. He is very important for us.”
