For fans of PSG, Luis Enrique or all the curious who master the language of Cervantes: the first episode of the documentary series “No tenéis ni p… idea” (“You have no fucking idea”) devoted to the Parisian coach is available on the Movistar + platform, which can be watched on French soil for a subscription of €9.99 per month. If you don’t have access to it, we summarize the start of the season which will include three 40-minute episodes, broadcast every Monday until October 14. “Let the show begin”, as this first part is called, which takes you to the heart of the Luis Enrique system.
The series begins with Barcelona, on the eve of his official arrival at PSG as coach. Alongside his wife Elena, the native of Asturias works on his French and learns the following sentence, which he will repeat the next day alongside President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, in front of the press: “I am very delighted to be here and I hope to repay this confidence with important trophies.” And very quickly, we found the former Barça coach on the facilities of the PSG campus, in Poissy, where he found refuge in room 304 of this complex which he describes as a “five-star” hotel. »
The first images of Luis Enrique on campus are of a man walking barefoot on the lawns, making several laps of the field to “reconnect with nature.” » “He’s crazy,” sporting director Luis Campos would later smile, reporting a sentence uttered by club employees about this rather unusual moment. Luis Enrique stayed there for three to four months, in this room, without being able to ride the bike he loved so much. “I’ve never been so fat,” he laughs in front of the cameras.
“There is no philosophy: “Kylian does what he wants” »
There are many moments of complicity with his staff. The images in the series depict a coach permanently glued in front of his screens, analyzing the game. Like this moment when he debriefs the first Champions League match of the 2023-2024 season against Dortmund (2-0). “What a shit center,” he exclaims about an action by Ousmane Dembélé before finally complimenting the Frenchman: “That dribble, only Ous can do it. » “If I could speak directly to the players on the field with a microphone, I would love it,” he said later in the episode.
But one of the main files of course concerns his relationship with Kylian Mbappé, the most anticipated behind the scenes of this series. “I carry out all the club’s decisions. Whether I share them or not, I execute them,” says Luis Enrique at the start of the season, when the striker is still dismissed by PSG. Delighted to get him back in the following matches, the 54-year-old coach nevertheless confides his philosophy: “Being strong with the weak, everyone can do it. For some, being strong with the strong scares them. Me, no. » The result is this dig sent towards Mbappé after a success in Reims, despite a hat-trick from the world champion.
“Kylian, you have to mark the right center if you want everyone to press,” he tells him in the locker room. It was a lousy match. We have to do better, all eleven players. » Then, Luis Enrique justifies in front of the Movistar + cameras: “There is no philosophy: “Kylian does what he wants” (…) We need a little more normality. When he plays badly, the coach can tell him. And he knows it. » The next episodes promise to be a bit more “crunchy” in terms of this relationship between the two men. But it is indeed Luis Enrique’s series, which immerses you in a part of his intimacy, alongside his wife, his children or his three dogs.
