The scene shocked many viewers. Asked by Margot Dumont about his tactical choices after the defeat suffered by PSG on the Arsenal pitch (2-0), Tuesday evening during the 2nd day of the Champions League, Luis Enrique responded dryly, displaying deep contempt for the journalist, who moved this summer from beIN Sports to Canal+. Not enough to ease his already tense relations with the French press.
“No, I have no intention of explaining my tactics because you wouldn’t understand themhe said live. The team needs to fix a lot of things, but I don’t plan to explain that. » And the Spanish coach of the capital club was just as disrespectful by preferring not to say a single word about the absence of Ousmane Dembélé, removed from the group for disciplinary reasons.
Margot Dumont’s very classy response
The video of this interview – if we can call it that –, shared by the encrypted channel on X (formerly Twitter), quickly went viral. The sequence already has nearly 1.5 million views on the platform, triggering a huge wave of support for Margot Dumont. “Too bad, I love tactics”reacted soberly the former Division 1 women’s player, aged 34.
“I think he is addressing the press in general and not me personally, but being a journalist I am obviously targeted like my colleaguesshe added.
Too bad, it would have been interesting if he explained his vision of things anyway (and indeed I was able to understand). » A very professional way of reacting, which Luis Enrique would do well to learn from in the future.
