Even if Paris SG had a rather reassuring performance in Rennes (3-1 victory after their rout against Newcastle), Luis Enrique seemed very upset when analyzing the match on the Free Ligue 1 board. Parisian coach even left the journalists and consultants irritated, with a tight smile, after two minutes of a tense exchange.
At the heart of this annoyance, the legitimate question from Alexandre Ruiz on the avenues for improvement for Paris SG after this certainly satisfactory match. “You only see the negative things. You are corrosive. Here’s to all the interviews! This is the most negative in the history of football! One day, we won 4-1 and he told me that we deserved to lose,” said the Spanish coach, looking at Ludovic Giuly but not Ruiz who asked him the question.
Faced with this slight discomfort on the set, Alexandre Luiz tried to play the appeasement card by saying with a smile: “It’s normal that I ask you that.” Response from Luis Enrique: “The first twenty-five minutes, for me, Rennes were better than us, we had to improve or the match was going to become complicated. Because we are not machines, these gentlemen (he points to Ludovic Giuly and Rio Mavuba, consultants on the set) were players.”
The former Barça coach left the stage a few seconds later and Alexandre Luiz once again tried to justify himself on the merits of his question: “Well…, it’s not simple, I’m trying to ask questions. questions in a constructive sense and know if there are points of detail that we can improve and work on. That was my question.(…) Everything is not all positive. I only want us to achieve total satisfaction. Our time here is short. If it’s only positive and positive I’ll stop my job.”
