Headline: PSG’s Akliouche Takes on New Role as Holding Midfielder Against Le Havre
Paris Saint-Germain kicked off Ligue 1’s ninth matchday with an away fixture against Le Havre this Friday evening. In a notable tactical shift, midfielder Maghnes Akliouche played in an unfamiliar position as a holding midfielder.
Since joining PSG this summer, the France international has typically featured on the right, left, or centrally within the attack. However, on this occasion, he took up the role usually held by Vitinha, operating as a number 6 at the base of the midfield.
This positional experiment parallels Luis Enrique’s earlier conversion of Lucas Beraldo, who transformed from a centre-back into a number 6 under the PSG coach’s guidance. The move appears to be receiving positive feedback from observers on X.
