Present at a press conference on Tuesday, on the eve of Dortmund-PSG in the Champions League semi-final first leg, Luis Enrique paid the journalists.
The thing is not new, but Luis Enrique proved once again this Tuesday that it remains relevant in his mind. Since he has been a coach, and perhaps even during his playing career, the current coach of Paris Saint-Germain does not hold journalists in his heart. Or at least he believes that they do not have sufficient skills to understand football. He repeated it this Tuesday.
Present in front of an audience of journalists, as part of the press conference preceding the semi-final first leg of the Champions League which will take place Wednesday evening in Dortmund, between Borussia and PSG (9 p.m.), the Spanish tactician had to respond to some questions. And one of them made him wince. “ All the press makes you a huge favorite for this semi-final. Is this an advantage or a disadvantage? » When this question was translated into Spanish, Luis Enrique started laughing.
“The press knows practically nothing about football”
Then he made a scathing remark, looking at his audience with a smile on their lips: “ This is why I say that the press knows practically nothing about football. This has been my argument for a long time. » And Luis Enrique adds a second, more serious part of the answer. “ The beautiful thing is enjoying a special match in a stadium that is almost unique in Europe. And we will try to offer great joy to our fans by arriving in the final. »
However, Luis Enrique added a little word, when the translator was translating his remarks aimed at the press, into French: “ I’m sorry. » Not sorry for speaking his mind, but probably sorry for his sincerity. The journalists present will have appreciated it. Or not.
