Luis Enrique has a cool relationship with journalists. During the presentation of the beIN Sports system, his former teammate Sonny Anderson justified this behavior.

Between 1997 and 1999, Sonny Anderson was Luis Enrique’s teammate at FC Barcelona. A consultant on beIN Sports for the Ligue 1 match on Saturday at 5 p.m., the Brazilian will undoubtedly have the opportunity to cross paths with the Paris Saint-Germain coach again this season.

The Spanish coach will perhaps be more open with a former teammate than with journalists, with whom he is often very cold. “It’s not a question of whether Luis Enrique likes journalists or not, the former striker told us during the presentation of the new season of the Qatari channel. He is someone with character, I was lucky enough to play with him in Barcelona. Even then, he had it, he was a great professional and a perfectionist. Afterwards, we often only talk to him about what is not going well at PSG, rarely about what is going well. That is why he is a little withdrawn, he protects his team and the project he has put in place.

Luis Enrique, the collective above all at PSG

Unsurprisingly, Sonny Anderson places PSG as the big favourite to succeed him in the French championship title.

“It’s a very competitive team today. I spoke about it with Luis Enrique, who wants to play with a real collective. This season, everyone is capable of scoring goals,” underlines the former Auriverde international.

Already the sole leader of the French championship after three days, the capital club will host Stade Brestois on Saturday at 9 p.m. This is an opportunity for the Rouge et Bleu to further extend their lead over their Marseille pursuers, or to consolidate it in the event of an OM victory a few hours before against Nice.
