Real Madrid vs Paris has caused controversy! Enrique: Mbappe belongs to the past, Ashraf is better than Arnold

Real Madrid star Mbappe plays against his old club Paris Saint-Germain again. Enrique calmly responds to "not talking about the past", and Ashraf VS Arnold becomes another focus. Who can advance to the finals, Paris or Real Madrid? This semi-final is destined to be full of sparks!

As Paris Saint-Germain is about to face Real Madrid, coach Enrique refuses to compare his current team to the past lineup with Mbappe. Last summer, after the contract deadlock lasted for a long time, Mbappe left Paris in a free transfer and joined Real Madrid, a move that made Paris fans extremely angry. Although on the surface, losing Mbappe, who is considered the "world's best striker", seemed like a heavy blow, his departure actually provided an opportunity for Enrique to reshape the team - he implemented the concept of "collective supremacy" to the end, completely transformed Paris Saint-Germain and ultimately helped the club win the coveted Champions League title.

Now, when Mbappe faces his old boss again wearing a Real Madrid jersey, this showdown on Wednesday is destined to be full of gunpowder. He may encounter booing from Paris fans, but Enrique is not interested in the changes in the team when he is on the team and not on the team. "This is a matter of the past, and I am not here to talk about the past, I only focus on the future." Enrique said calmly at the pre-match press conference.

Previously, Mbappe missed most of the Champions League group stage due to gastroenteritis, but returned to the goal list in the knockout match against Dortmund to help Real Madrid advance. In this regard, Enrique admitted that the re-confrontation with the old players added highlights to the game, and at the same time, facing Real Madrid, the "most successful club in the world", is also an inspiration. "Fighting against Real Madrid is definitely a special game," he said. "But we like this level of competition, which means you have completed the task and are now standing on the stage of the semi-finals."

Faced with the media's questions about the personal comparison of players, Enrique also chose to avoid it. He refused to compare his right-back Ashraf, who was also signed by Real Madrid's new player Arnold, who also left Liverpool after his contract expired. "I never like to analyze or compare players, especially in this top-level event, every player is an elite," Enrique stressed. "But I must say that Ashraf is definitely one of the best right-backs I have ever seen in my coaching career, whether in training or watching games. He is better than Arnold, and I love all the players in Paris Grande!"

Not only did Enrique's remarks cause controversy, but only Enrique attended the press conference in the media days before the game. The press conference of Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso was temporarily cancelled due to the late arrival of the team. This showdown is not only a grudge between Mbappe and his old master, but also a direct dialogue between the two giants in order to compete for the finals of the Club World Cup. Whoever can win this strong dialogue will face an opponent who has already secured a place in the finals.
