Former French defender Jérémy Mathieu spoke about coach Luis Enrique’s main problem.
Jérémy Mathieu does not have very good memories of Luis Enrique. The former Barça defender, who played under the orders of the Spanish technician from 2014 to 2017, spoke very frankly about his relationship with the current coach of Paris Saint-Germain.
“He never explained to me why”
In an interview given to bein Sports, the former French international did not hesitate to point out Lucho’s lack of communication. “With Luis Enrique, we will say that it was mixed,” he said. Yet he was the one who wanted me, we had meetings almost in secret. He’s a coach who doesn’t talk to you a lot, who doesn’t give you too much confidence. I played a lot on confidence. »
Mathieu also confided that he had difficulty understanding the choices of the Gijonais. “Sometimes I had big matches and then I was on the bench,” he said. I needed continuity, that’s what I didn’t understand. He never explained to me why, maybe he didn’t have time or that’s how he works. »
An Achilles heel for PSG?
The Franc-Comtois wonders if Luis Enrique’s lack of communication could prove problematic for the capital club. “If it could be his Achilles heel with PSG? Perhaps, Mathieu judged. Afterwards, did he change his way of being and doing? I don’t know. But with us it was like that and I had trouble at the end. »
