Don’t knock it until you try it.<\/strong><\/p>\n Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique may inspire a worldwide movement thanks to a bold tactic his team has used at this year’s Club World Cup.<\/a><\/p>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> No, it is not the invention of a new position.<\/p>\n Nor is it a groundbreaking passage of passing that could carve open a rival team like a hot knife through butter.<\/p>\n Instead, it is simply booting the ball into touch from the kick-off.<\/p>\n Each match at the Club World Cup, PSG <\/a>midfielder Vitinha has sent the ball flying over the sideline deep in the opposition’s defensive third.<\/p>\n Granted, the Parisians are instantly coughing up possession.<\/p>\n But it immediately gives PSG the chance to press their rivals deep in their own half in an attempt to force a turnover in a dangerous area.<\/p>\n It is a ruthless and relentless approach that doesn’t give the opponent any time to breathe right from the get-go.<\/p>\n Although they haven’t scored from the resulting throw-in, PSG’s bold approach has achieved results.<\/p>\n Throughout their Club World Cup campaign, they have scored the opening goal inside the first 20 minutes on three separate occasions.<\/p>\n Fabian Ruiz started the trend in the 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the group stages.<\/p>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> PSG enjoyed even faster starts against Inter Miami and Real Madrid in their knockout clashes.<\/p>\n Against the Major League Soccer outfit, Joao Neves put PSG ahead after just six minutes.<\/p>\n The same amount of time had elapsed when Ruiz opened the scoring against Madrid in their semi-final, which ended in a 4-0 victory for the Parisians as they tore their rivals apart.<\/a><\/p>\n Despite the usage of the strategy, Enrique could not take credit for devising it.<\/p>\n Instead, he revealed it was a French rival who inspired him.<\/p>\n “We copied it from Olympique Lyon,” Enrique said.<\/p>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> “We saw them do it, and I liked it.”<\/p>\n Enrique also hinted it may not be long until PSG scrap the tactic.<\/p>\n “At first, it worked well,” Enrique said.<\/p>\n “But now teams are starting to figure it out.”<\/p>\n Chelsea <\/a>boss Enzo Maresca will no doubt have his team on red alert for PSG’s scheme given they take on PSG in the Club World Cup final.<\/a><\/p>\n The Blues’ bid to become two-time world champions takes place at MetLife Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm.<\/p>\n *If you click on a link in this Box Out we will earn affiliate revenue<\/p>\n This year’s FIFA Club World Cup will see the top teams from around the world competing to be crowned champions.<\/p>\n Here’s how to watch every game for free on DAZN:<\/p>\n From Harry Kane to Erling Haaland, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup promises to be packed with the most exciting football from the world’s top talent.<\/p>\n Sign up to DAZN now and watch all of the FIFA Club World Cup for free<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Vitinha](\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/psg-kick-off-tactic.jpg?strip=all&w=860\")
