Luis Enrique's tense response to Kolo Muani outside the group

Luis Enrique has already said it several times since his arrival. More than his words, it is his actions that must be observed to understand his decisions. From this perspective, the treatment inflicted on Randal Kolo Muani is now crystal clear. Just like Milan Skriniar, the French team striker was not even called up to the group for the match against OL this Sunday, which ended in a Parisian victory (3-1).

Luis Enrique has no desire to justify himself

And last night, after the match, Luis Enrique was not in the mood to explain the very length. “Because I can only call 20 players,” Luis Enrique first responded quickly when the question came up. And when a journalist asked him again about the surprise of seeing a French international striker not even on the match sheet, the Spanish coach clearly sent him back to the ropes. “I know I don't speak French, but in Spanish, I couldn't be clearer. Those who don’t understand, that’s not my problem,” said Luis Enrique.

The Spanish coach was much more forthcoming when discussing the successful week of his team which perfectly negotiated its two important meetings against Salzburg (3-0) and therefore Lyon. “I think it was an important day, where we were the only team in the top nine to win. It was also important to win against a good Lyon team who were on a ten-match streak without losing. We have therefore fulfilled all our objectives,” rejoiced the Spanish coach.
