Manager profile [edit ]

Tactics [edit ]

Luis Enrique ‘s incisive and direct football featuring immediate transitions from defense to attack, though reliant on the movement three of Messi, Suárez and Neymar, was in sharply contrast to the possession-heavy approach of Barcelona managers immediately prior to him. [ 70 ] [ 71 ] Statistically, Luis Enrique ‘s Barcelona, in his first gear two years at the club, were better than Guardiola ‘s : relatively his team had scored more goals and conceded fewer, had a higher succeed percentage and won competitions at a like rate. [ 72 ] Guardiola hailed them as the best counter-attacking team in the worldly concern. [ 48 ] In his beginning two seasons at the Camp Nou, Luis Enrique fielded a 4–3–3 formation. Results improved after he stopped tinkering with his starting eleven. The team ‘s creative wall socket was the wings with Neymar and Messi as inside forwards flanking Suárez, a deviation from their common play dash. Ivan Rakitić played a pivotal character in transitioning defense to attack, and Andrés Iniesta ‘s charm withered, while Xavi, the clubhouse ‘s captain, reduced to a half-time, substitute role. With overlapping full-backs offer width, Neymar and Messi much drifted in-field, encouraging midfielders, Rakitic and Iniesta, to move into channels and fire in and around the box. In his one-third and final year, struggling for mannequin and results, the director switched to a 3–4–3 umbrage morphing into a 4–4–2 defensive shape, evocative of Antonio Conte ‘s Premier League winners Chelsea more than Johan Cryuff ‘s Dream Team, with Messi at the top of a midfield rhombus, acting as foreman play-maker, and Sergio Busquets, the sole holding defensive midfielder, responsible for breaking the first-line of resistance imperativeness. The system favoured Neymar in particular, who played as a left forward, much cutting inside to link with alone striker Suárez, or to create an overload in the final-third sharing creative responsibilities with Messi. This change in constitution was instrumental as they overcame 0–4, the biggest first-leg deficit in Champions League history, by defeating PSG 6–1 in the second-leg ; however, the physical and tactical discipline required to sustain a 3–4–3 prove controversial. [ 68 ] [ 73 ] [ 74 ] [ 75 ] [ 76 ] [ 77 ] [ 78 ] For Spain, Luis Enrique continues to favour 4–3–3, and at times the riskier 3–4–3 when the situation demands, with the sole defensive midfielder in the pivot being the alone commonality. Lacking the front three he had at Barcelona, his football retains positional and erect aspects, though with box-to-box central midfielders, like Koke or Pedri, offering attacking thrust while the focus on forward drops deep to bring wide forwards into play, accompanied by overlapping full-backs who offer width. Whilst pressing oppositions very important person, the focus on forward, normally Álvaro Morata, screens the opposition defensive midfielder as across-the-board forwards engage opposition center backs. Spain ‘s defensive midfielder, often Busquets, tracks the run of opposition attackers when they drop deep, some times pressing higher than the team ‘s other central midfielders. In monomania, Spain normally start playing out from the back, to draw the opposition in, with Thiago Alcântara or any other central midfielder, dropping along english Busquets to help progress the ball forward. Should the opposition press aggressively, the full-backs link up to offer extra pass options as the center backs go deep and narrow. wide forwards make diagonal runs into the midfield to link play with those in front of them. Once the ball has been progressed out of the defensive structure, they adjust their attack rhythm to match confrontation ‘s defensive structure, either opting for a rapid transition against a higher block or relying on a more positional approach play against a lower stuff. To mix it up, Spain initially build up short in the defensive-third to then play long to the center forward who then attempts to bring outfield runners in to play. Wing play is used to stretch opposition and create spaces infield or create crossing opportunities, specially against compact defenses. [ 73 ]

“ I do not treat all of my players the same, just as I do not treat all of my children the same. I have negotiated things with the players. On some things I have been permissive and on some I have been demanding. There are some rules that everyone must follow. That is one of my principles. ”

—Luis Enrique, speaking to the iron after falling out with Messi in January 2015. [ 79 ]
Known for his audacious and unafraid management stylus, Luis Enrique is quick to curb out source of any influence that undermines his authority. Reports of his affray with Messi at Barcelona and with Totti at Roma, both of whom wield considerable power at their respective clubs, being prime examples of that. [ 68 ] His flexibility in adopting different act styles, while at odds with the possession-based style synonymous with Barcelona, furthered this narrative, as he continued to remain unfazed in the side of criticism and press. [ 75 ] Royal Spanish Football Federation president of the united states Luis Rubiales, on the back of three back-to-back unsuccessful tournaments, appointed him to curb ill-discipline and complacency in the squad, submit : “ We are looking for an incontestable drawing card, who sets out the path, and cipher then strays from that path. ” [ 68 ]

reception [edit ]

Messi described Luis Enrique as one the two best managers he has played for, the early being Guardiola. [ 80 ] While Guardiola maintains that though he has played against many great footballing sides as a director, Luis Enrique ‘s Barcelona and Jürgen Klopp ‘s Liverpool were the best he has ever faced. [ 81 ] In comparing the managers he has played for, Spain international Alcântara said, “ [ Luis Enrique ] has the analytic placement of Pep [ and ] the aggressiveness of Klopp ” while besides praising Luis Enrique ‘s communication skills in conveying his footballing ideas. [ 82 ]
