Barcola “like Maradona”, Luis Enrique’s big tackle to the media

Luis Enrique, PSG coach, shows his support for Barcola and silences critics.

Bradley Barcola is going through a less good phase. Prolific at the start of the season with Paris Saint-Germain, the young left winger has not found the net since his double against Angers (4-2) in Ligue 1 on November 9.

In this context, rumors are multiplying about a possible desire of Parisian leaders to look for a direct competitor. At a press conference this Saturday, on the eve of the 32nd final between Lens and PSG, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke about Barcola’s situation, not hesitating to criticize the media treatment of the current top scorer of the Rouge et Bleu (10 goals, 16 Ligue 1 matches).

Luis Enrique steps up to the plate for Barcola

“Should we put it in competition? I’m very happy with Bradley. For you journalists, he was like Diego Maradona at the start of the season, and now you don’t like him… It doesn’t work like that”judged the Spanish technician.

“I’m happy with him. I want him to continue to improve. All players can have ups and downs. What matters is achieving the team’s goals, and I’m very happy with the whole team, no matter the goals.”assured Lucho.
