In a press conference on Saturday, March 16, Luis Enrique defended Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan international (4 goals, 5 assists in all competitions) has been criticized for his inconsistency.
« No, I disagree. Hakimi has been very consistent throughout the season, he is a player with unique potential. My rule is to demand more from my players. I try not to idolize the best, but to demand even more from them. I have to protect them more. Hakimi has had a very high-level season. Sometimes he hasn’t played, he knows why and he is intelligent. In attack, he is unique, very few right-backs in the world play like him. He still needs to improve, but I am very happy with him, » said the Spanish coach before PSG’s trip to Montpellier on Sunday, March 17.
