Disappointing in recent weeks, Bradley Barcola missed his match against AS Monaco again on Wednesday. Which earned the former Lyonnais strong criticism in the press but fortunately, the French international can count on the support of his trainer Luis Enrique.
Relations have not always been good between Luis Enrique and Bradley Barcola in recent weeks. The Spanish coach's instructions have sometimes frustrated the striker trained at Olympique Lyonnais. But in a less prosperous period for him, the French international can be pleased to count on the support of his coach. On the bench against OL then starting against ASM, Bradley Barcola did not shine in the Principality, which earned him further criticism. His status is called into question to such an extent that his start against Lens in the Coupe de France is debated. But this Saturday at a press conference, Luis Enrique came to the aid of the Paris Saint-Germain striker by criticizing in particular the fickleness of the media.
“For you, he was like Maradona and now…”
“Should we put it in competition? I'm very happy with Bradley. For you, he was like Maradona at the start of the season, and now you don't like him… It doesn't work like that. 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. I am very happy with the whole team, regardless of the goals” launched Luis Enrique to the media 24 hours into the 32nd final of Paris Saint-Germain against RC Lens in the Coupe de France. We do not know if Bradley Barcola will start while Luis Enrique has multiple offensive solutions with Désiré Doué, Gonçalo Ramos, Lee Kang-In, Ousmane Dembélé and Marco Asensio. But one thing is certain, the Spanish coach of Paris Saint-Germain has shown his support for his left winger and the latter will appreciate his true value.
