Vitinha: Luis Enrique’s key pick despite a shaky start

Luis Enrique has pushed for more rotation at PSG this season, but, as L’Équipe points out, Vitinha is one of the exceptions. Despite the club’s mixed start, the midfielder has been among those who keep being selected in the starting XI.

A profile that’s hard to replace

According to the newspaper, the reason is straightforward: Luis Enrique considers that Vitinha’s profile has no real equivalent in the squad. In that sense, even when the team’s overall form isn’t perfectly on track, the coach sees value in keeping him in the lineup.

What it means for PSG

The article underlines that Luis Enrique wants to manage minutes and adapt more frequently, but the midfielder stands out as a constant. With the team still searching for more consistency, relying on a player who offers a specific identity in how PSG builds and controls play can be a way to steady performances.

For fans, the takeaway is simple: while other spots are likely to keep shifting, Vitinha appears to hold extra weight as a continuity option—at least for now.
