PSG fans have noticed: Luis Enrique is a man who does not mince his words and who does not keep his tongue in his pocket. The Spanish coach has a strong character, and he does not give up, whether in front of his players or in front of journalists. A strong personality who, for the moment, seems to please fans of the capital club. As he was also rather unanimous in Barcelona, where many supporters hope to see him return quickly. At the head of the Spanish selection, on the other hand, his somewhat divisive personality did not please everyone, and some of his behavior and some media outings were not appreciated by everyone across the Pyrenees.
Among the decisions that had caused a lot of discussion, in addition to those related to the field, there was this choice to make lives on the Twitch platform. Unheard of for a coach, and even less so in the middle of the World Cup. Which made our neighbors cringe. During these live broadcasts – the income from which was donated to an association helping children suffering from cancer – Luis Enrique gave details on the preparation of his team's matches, gave news of his players, just as he answered questions from Spanish supporters.
Which Luis Enrique will we see?
In front of his computer, however, Luis Enrique showed a much calmer face than at the press conference. He was smiling, spontaneous, laughed and joked often. The general atmosphere of these lives was rather benevolent and good-natured. Far from the tension that we could feel during his appearances in front of journalists. During the 15 broadcasts made by the coach since the Roja camp in Qatar, there were no controversial comments or arguments, and everything took place in a certain calm.
It must be said that on Twitch, it was a quite different context from that of press conferences. Luis Enrique could select the questions from Internet users, and he was facing a rather young audience and supporters of his team, who were above all looking to have a good time and have a little laugh with the national coach. There was, neither side, the desire to aggravate the situation, already quite tense around the Spanish group because of the incessant criticism against the coach and the team's average results. PSG supporters who connect to Twitch this evening will therefore be able to interact with a relaxed Luis Enrique who may also reveal nice details and juicy anecdotes about their favorite team…
