Luis Enrique’s management was strongly criticized by Jérémy Mathieu, who worked with the Spanish coach in Barcelona.

As Paris Saint-Germain prepares to return to the Champions League this Wednesday, with the reception of Real Sociedad, in the round of 16 first leg, Jérémy Mathieu was invited to speak about his relationship with Luis Enrique, who he knew in Barcelona between 2014 and 2017. And the former French international was not kind to the Parisian coach.

“We will say that our experience was mixed. Mixed and yet, it was he who wanted me and we almost met in secret to discuss (before he signed). He’s a coach who doesn’t talk to you a lot and doesn’t give you too much confidence.”confided the ex-defender of Sochaux and Toulouse.

“I had big matches and then I was on the bench”

And to continue: “ Me, I play a lot on confidence and sometimes, I had big matches and then I was on the bench. So actually, I needed continuity. That’s what I didn’t understand. But he never explained to me why. Maybe he didn’t have the time, I don’t know, or maybe he works like that. I don’t know why but it’s not a big deal and I think that’s how it works. It’s like that. »
