Asked about the competition for the right-back position, Luis Enrique didn’t really like it. And the Spaniard took the opportunity to remind us that he is the one who puts together his team as he sees fit.
Sunday evening, at 8:45 p.m., Paris Saint-Germain will travel to Lens for the closing match of the 18th day of Ligue 1. On the eve of this meeting, Luis Enrique presented himself at a press conference. Once again, the Spanish technician showed distrust towards certain journalists.
Particularly after a question asked about the right-back position. A sector where the former Spain coach sometimes played Soler and Zaire-Emery rather than Mukiele. “I’m the coach, I’m the one who decides who plays or not. It’s that simple. There is no team in the world where all the players play, it’s impossible. You would always want those who are not playing to play. You ask me all the time about players who don’t play but I’m the one who chooses”insisted the 53-year-old technician.

Between Luis Enrique and journalists, relations are often stormy. Last October, interviewed after the victory of the capital club against Stade Rennais (3-1) at the microphone of Free, the PSG coach did not appreciate the criticism of the poor start to the meeting, notably those of Alexandre Ruiz. “You only see the negative things, he said in Spanish. You criticize. All the interviews! It is the most negative in the history of world football. One day we won 4-1 and he told me we deserved to lose. »
