Luis Enrique Praises Achraf Hakimi as the World’s Best Right Back at PSG
Paris Saint-Germain takes on Stade Brestois
**Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)** is set to return to Ligue 1 action this Saturday afternoon, gearing up to face **Stade Brestois** in the 9th round of the French championship. As the club prepares for this encounter, **Luis Enrique**, PSG’s coach, has shared his insights on the team’s prospects and highlighted one of his core players.
Hakimi: An indispensable leader
During a pre-match press conference on Friday, Luis Enrique discussed the upcoming challenge, his squad’s dynamics, and specifically praised **Achraf Hakimi**. The Moroccan full-back has become a vital component for PSG over recent months. **Hakimi’s leadership qualities** and consistent performances have seen him being selected by his teammates as the **vice-captain** of the team.
**Luis Enrique** expressed his delight in having Hakimi in the squad, stating, “His status hasn’t changed over the last two years. He’s a locker room leader, chosen as second captain, which reflects his standing and level in the team. As a player, he’s exceptional, both defensively and offensively, and he gives 100% in nearly every match. I’m very pleased to have him on the team.”
Rising star in global football
Since Luis Enrique took charge of PSG in the summer of 2023, Hakimi has soared to new heights, becoming a formidable contender for the **Ballon d’Or 2025**, where he finished in a commendable 6th place.
Continuing his praise, Enrique remarked that Hakimi deserves the **African Ballon d’Or** and is undoubtedly the best in his position globally. “To be honest, I must acknowledge the level of other players, but for me, there’s no doubt: he’s the best right-back in the world. That’s why we don’t sign another right-back. He almost always plays and when he’s not on the pitch, we have other options. Bringing in a backup right-back who would only play a few matches isn’t feasible. We try to cultivate talent from our academy, ensuring continued performance throughout the season,” Enrique explained.
With such high praise from their coach, PSG fans eagerly await the team’s performance against Stade Brestois, with **Hakimi expected to be at the heart of the action**.
