Even if PSG’s results plead in favor of Luis Enrique, the latter is not exempt from all criticism.
For the moment, Paris Saint-Germain is having an almost perfect season, on paper at least. The capital club has a considerable lead in Ligue 1 over its pursuers and is still in the race to win the Coupe de France and the Champions League. Luis Enrique seems to be less exposed to criticism than his predecessors, even if he is not always unanimous.
Among his main detractors is Daniel Riolo. “Luis Enrique does politics and communication above all. He wants everything to be centered on him and for him to be the star of PSG. He can’t stand it when a player is more of a star than him and when people say about a player that it’s thanks to him that things went well. He’s doing well in that regard when we see the PSG coaches in recent years, the criticism they’ve received.”recalls the sports journalist on the airwaves of RMC.

“Luis Enrique is completely spared because every time he does something, he invents it and people say it’s great. When a guy is a genius, I bow. But I’ve been watching genius evolve for six months and we’ll see where it takes us. I still have the idea that it will be better with Mbappé, especially in the Champions League. But at that time, we will be told that it was Luis Enrique who stole it and who knows how to use it.”continues the sidekick of Gilbert Brisbois.
Over the past weeks, Daniel Riolo has regularly criticized the former Spain coach, notably accusing him of somewhat eccentric experiments for his team compositions. He also regularly nicknames him Géo Trouvetou, in reference to the fictional character from the world of ducks.
