The semi-final first leg of the Champions League between PSG and Bayern Munich (5-4), Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes, did not excite everyone. If the press got excited after this meeting, described as
“match of the century”some observers such as Clarence Seedorf or the journalist Frédéric Hermel were choosy.
For them, both teams have neglected the defensive aspect of the game far too much. Criticisms which do not affect Luis Enrique. Present at a press conference before the reception in Lorient, Saturday during the 32e day of Ligue 1, the Parisian coach responded to these attacks. “It’s like life, there are opinions everywhere”he declared.
“I think it’s not important to respect all opinions, because if it’s a shitty opinion, you don’t have to respect it…continued the Spaniard, who should turn against the Merlus. There are people who like football played like that, it’s the majority and I’m one of them. But some people don’t like it. »
