Shoot it like Kvara! Enrique expects Georgia star to improve PSG’s attack with long-range strikes

Associated Press  

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique is counting on new star signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to improve his team’s attack with trademark goals from outside the penalty area. “I think he’s a player who corresponds to our idea of football.” Not only that, he is also hard-working and versatile — the type of player Enrique likes. “He also has a great ability to defend, which is important because we need to attack with 11 and defend with 11,” Enrique said. With Kvaratskhelia and France winger Ousmane Dembélé operating on each flank, Enrique’s attack could become even more dangerous in the second part of the season.
