The cultivation of nouveau riche! What did Paris learn from Chelsea and Manchester City?

double-winning Arsenal in two rounds, Paris Saint-Germain completed a remarkable Premier League pass, convincingly won the Champions League final ticket, and once again won the opportunity to reach the peak honor after five years.

The ex-boys have been defeated and fought repeatedly, and Enrique has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders

"Life is an arduous struggle, and you can never take a break. Otherwise, what you get in one inch or one foot may be wasted in an instant." The famous saying of French writer Roman Rolland may be the most in line with the situation of Paris Saint-Germain over the years.

From Ancelotti and Blanco to Emery and Tuchel, Paris Saint-Germain never seems to worry about civil war hegemony, and the main criterion for determining their success or failure in the season is the Champions League record. In the past decade, Paris Saint-Germain has repeatedly failed to fight on the road to the Champions League. They have experienced too many disappointments and setbacks, including the helplessness of being inferior to others, the confusion of being out of the game in a sudden manner, the pain and struggle after being tragically reversed, and the difficulty and suffering in difficult exploration.

Chelsea played a role with Manchester City, Paris was revamped, and also rose rapidly because of its favor. Chelsea chose pragmatic tactical style as soon as they started the road, and quickly completed the identity transformation from a nouveau riche to a "family" through their outstanding performance in the Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain has repeatedly become a laughing stock because of its Champions League defeats.

While Paris Saint-Germain repeats the plot of the hot springs year after year, Manchester City, which also holds the banner of beautiful football, takes the lead in completing the style transformation and reaches the top of the Champions League. With the introduction of Rodri as the standard, Guardiola began to pay more attention to physical fitness when choosing a new player. Manchester City built a 3241 "giant formation" in the 2022/23 season, and finally persisted to the end in a series of strong dialogues.

The Premier League's top players are used as sparring training. The French Ligue 1 giants are already mature. Although it is respectable, only teams with distinct technical styles and signature playing styles are balanced in the three-line, without obvious weaknesses, able to control multiple game modes, and able to flexibly take response measures according to changes in the situation between the enemy and us will have the opportunity to laugh to the end in the Champions League. In the 2019/20 season, Tuchel led Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League final, and the "seven-man defense and three-man offense" split layout inspired Enrique.

also builds teams around wingers. Tuchel accumulates engineer-type midfielders behind Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, while Enrique requires technical midfielders to play "engineers". Paris' tactical level of control and extension have reached a new level. As Kim Pombe was absent due to injury, William Pacho perfectly filled the pit, and the Ligue 1 giants ushered in a good opportunity to create history.
