🚨 Thomas Tuchel on Kobbie Mainoo ahead of the World Cup:
🗣️ “He’s a special kid. We’ve seen what he can do and what he brings to the pitch — a great talent, but also a very intelligent player for his age.
When I watch him, I see elements of top midfielders — the composure of Luka Modrić, the control and discipline of Sergio Busquets, and flashes of the confidence you saw in a young Clarence Seedorf.
He plays without fear, he takes responsibility, and that’s rare for someone so young at the highest level.
If he continues like this, stays focused and keeps developing, I truly hope to see him at the World Cup — because players like him deserve that stage.”
🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Amad Diallo:
“Amad was flying—confidence, rhythm, goals, chances… everything was there. And then suddenly you start twisting his role, moving him around, and now the boy looks empty. He’s thinking too much instead of playing. With respect to Rúben Amorim, that change killed his momentum.
Young players need clarity. When a player is in form, you don’t experiment—you let him express himself. Now he’s struggling for goals and chances because the structure around him has changed.
For me, Amad’s best position is wide on the right—let him isolate defenders, cut inside, combine, and attack the box. That’s where he is dangerous, that’s where he plays with freedom.
Put him back there, give him continuity, and you will see the real Amad again.”

🚨Nasser Al-Khelaïfi on Luis Enrique and Manchester United links:
🗣️ “We love Luis Enrique here at Paris Saint-Germain F.C.. The players respect him, the staff trust him, and what he’s building is something very strong and very clear.
Of course, Manchester United F.C. is one of the biggest clubs in the world — maybe the biggest — so it’s normal his name is mentioned. But for us, there is no discussion.
Luis is our man. We believe in his ideas, his discipline, the identity he’s bringing to the team. You can see the structure, the intensity, the personality — that’s his work.
We are not just thinking about today, we are building something long-term, and he is at the centre of it. So for us, losing him is not even a consideration.
We appreciate everything he’s doing, and we want to continue growing with him — because what we are building together is only just beginning.”
