Coming out of Paris Saint-Germain’s defeat at home against AS Monaco (1-2), Luis Enrique knows that his team has only taken two points in three matches and is already seven points behind the Monegasque leader. But as is often the case, the Spaniard responded with a punchline after a bad result. “If you want to bet who will be champion at the end of the championship, we can bet. I don’t say anything, but for us, it’s motivation. (…) We will seek to rectify this as quickly as possible. » Words that scandalized Daniel Riolo.
“It is deeply insulting for other supporters in France, for other people who are interested in France, to deny this state of affairs, this economic factor. But my big guy, go and train Auxerre! You are so strong that it is obvious that you will do something with Auxerre. (…) There, he just said to you: ‘You want to bet who will be champion?’. Obviously you’re going to be champion, you have ten times more resources than everyone else, it’s limitless! You can make a failed recruitment at 250 million euros, there is no problem. Zabarnyi, it can be a bicycle pump, Kolo Muani, Gonçalo Ramos, Safonov… You can have four goalkeepers in the squad and do what you want. (…) Insult me, tell me that I’m ‘fixated’, that I’m angry with him, but if someone comes to tell me that his comments are not outrageous, tell me. (…) I find the attitude pathetic. To say; ‘we’re going to make a bet’ when you have a budget of 800 million euros, it’s pathetic”he declared on the microphone of RMC.
