“Luis Enrique doesn’t like journalists at all, we know that. PSG were beaten at Arsenal, they themselves took a great tactical lesson from Mikel Arteta. I think he was just annoyed. What I deplore in this type of behavior and in particular in the context of the interview with Margot (Dumont), is that the journalist is just there to ask the coach what happened on the pitch and these These moments are important for football lovers, PSG fans in this case. When Luis Enrique does this, it is not us he penalizes but football lovers and the general public” lamented the journalist from the Chaîne L’Equipe, used to this post-match interview exercise and who would undoubtedly not have liked to find himself in Margot Dumont’s place.

Football is too self-centered and cuts itself off from people” concluded the journalist, who hopes that Luis Enrique will realize that by acting in this way, it is above all the PSG supporters that he is penalizing.
