Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, once again mistreated Free Ligue 1 journalist Alexandre Ruiz on Sunday evening.
Four months ago, after a Parisian victory in Rennes (1-3), Luis Enrique had knowingly ignored Alexandre Ruiz on the traveling set of Free Ligue 1, hardly speaking except to consultant Ludovic Giuly. An episode badly experienced by the journalist who was moved by it afterwards: “ Sorry, this is not a position of respect, it irritated me a little. (…) I had no explanation afterwards, we were the last set. I’ll take note of that. »
Sunday evening after PSG’s draw against the same Rennais (1-1), the two men crossed paths again and the Spanish coach used irony to respond to his interlocutor, too negative for his taste. “ I would say I’m almost happy, just imagine. There were a lot of positive things… » A response which obviously did not satisfy Alexandre Ruiz…
“Through your nose, inhale, exhale…”
“ But, if we are happy with a draw snatched at the last minute, it is because there were also negative things, right? », Says the former host of beIN Sports. “ You are really obsessed with the negative and the positive. It’s incrediblereplies Luis Enrique. But no, look, visualize, close your eyes. Breathe, imagine the sun, a blue sky. Close your eyes, please, try, try. Do it, please. You will see, it will do you the greatest good. Through your nose, inhale, exhale. »
Less condescending afterwards, the Iberian technician delivered a more detailed analysis straight away, admitting that the result was not what he expected of course. “ That’s it, I see the sun », concluded Alexandre Ruiz, in a less tense exchange then with Luis Enrique.
