Luis Enrique returns (in his own way) to his response deemed contemptuous to Margot Dumont

SPORT – His response was disconcerting, angry, even indignant. Luis Enrique, who does not hide his distaste for the media, returned to his tense exchange with Canal+ journalist Margot Dumont.

At the end of the Arsenal-PSG match, which saw the defeat of the Parisian team (2-0), the coach had to answer the traditional questions from journalists. Margot Du mont, who asked him to explain his tactical choices, found herself facing a wall since he decided not to justify himself, taking on a contemptuous air.

“If I can explain my tactical idea to you? No, I have no intention of explaining my tactics because you wouldn’t understand them. We’re going to have to correct a lot of things, the team needs to correct a lot of things. But I don’t intend to explain that.”he said in a dry tone.

“I don’t usually pay attention to what the press says”

This Saturday, October 5, Luis Enrique was at a press conference on the eve of the PSG match in Nice during the 7th day of Ligue 1. On this occasion, he was questioned about this exchange with the journalist, reports BFMTV. As he searched for words, he finally said: “The truth is I don’t know what was said”

And to continue: “I don’t usually pay attention to what the press says. I only know that when you lose, the main person responsible is the coach. I accept it. I always try to protect my players. I really think that the coach is the main responsible for every defeat. I have been in football for several years. From here I have nothing else to add. I don’t try to control what I can’t control. There is nothing else to add. »

It is common knowledge that Luis Enrique does not get along with journalists. A few days ago, he even declared that he could lower his salary by 25% if it would allow him to no longer respond to the media.
