Descrição
Luis Enrique’s fluid, possession-based 4-3-3 turned Paris Saint-Germain into historic treble winners in 2024-25 and the first French club to win back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles in 2025-26.
This is not theory written from the outside. The vast majority of the practices in this book are taken directly from Luis Enrique’s PSG training sessions between 2023 and 2026, with every pass, movement and run mapped out in full colour diagrams and detailed descriptions.
If your players struggle to build under pressure, lose connection in possession, or create chances without converting them, you will find practical solutions for confident build-up play, coordinated movement and incisive attacking combinations.
Learn to Put Luis Enrique’s PSG Principles into Practice:
- Play through pressure with confidence and control using 4-3-3 and asymmetric 3-2-5 build-up structures
- Give the ball carrier multiple passing options through overloads, diamond structures and effective support angles
- Control the tempo and progress through the lines by using the defensive midfielder as the connecting link
- Move the opposition and isolate your wingers in 1v1s through rotations, switches of play and third man runs
- Turn possession into high-quality chances and goals with overlaps, through passes, crosses, cut-backs and timed runs into the box
What’s Inside:
- 50 positional build-up and attacking practices taken directly from Luis Enrique’s PSG training sessions
- 20 tactical analysis examples showing how PSG build from the back, control the midfield and create chances in the final third

- Luis Enrique’s full tactical philosophy, training methodology and typical 4-3-3 lineups from the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons
The 3 Practice Chapters:
- Positional Build-Up Play Combinations – play out from the back, break lines and progress through the thirds against real pressing structures
- Attacking Positional Patterns of Play – switches of play, rotations, overlaps and full team combinations that finish in the box
- Attacking Combinations, Crossing and Finishing – from small combinations around the box to 8v4 progressions, all ending with a strike on goal
20 Tactical Analysis Situations:
- Build-Up Play Tactics – the asymmetric 3-2-5 shape, goal kick structures, wide overloads, positional rotations and the “False 9” dropping to receive
- Possession and Midfield Control Tactics – diamond structures, controlling tempo against a middle block, midfield overloads and playing through an active press
- Attacking Phase Tactics – positional fluidity in the final third, maximising width, the central midfielder in the half-space, wing 1v1 isolation and attacking the box with multiple runners
Practice Examples:
- Goal Kick Build-Up with Switch of Play, Line Breaking Passes and a Through Pass for the Overlapping Right Back
- Luis Enrique’s Build-Up Solution with the DM Coming Short Against a Central Press

Every practice includes a clear title, a full colour diagram and a detailed description, so you can read it once and run it at your next session. The tactical examples represent consistent patterns of play observed across Luis Enrique’s PSG matches, not one-off moments.
Volume 2 is coming soon, covering possession games, rondos, small-sided games, conditioned games and transition games from the same training sessions.
