Jérémy Mathieu does not have great memories of his former coach at FC Barcelona.
In three seasons at FC Barcelona, Jérémy Mathieu has built up a nice track record. While he had only won a single Coupe de la Ligue, with Sochaux in 2004, the former defender won two Liga (2015, 2016), three Coupes du Roi (201, 2016, 2017) and especially the Champions League (2015) then the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup the same year. Trophies acquired under the rule of Luis Enrique.
However, the former French international has bitter memories of the Catalan technician. “With Luis Enrique, we will say that it was mixed, remembered the retired defender in an interview with beIN Sports. Yet he was the one who wanted me, we had meetings almost in secret. He’s a coach who doesn’t talk to you a lot, who doesn’t give you too much confidence. I played a lot on confidence. »
“Sometimes I had big matches and then I was on the bench, he said. I needed continuity, that’s what I didn’t understand. He never explained to me why, maybe he didn’t have time or that’s how he works. If this could be his Achilles heel with PSG? Maybe. Afterwards, did he change his way of being and doing? I don’t know. But with us it was like that and I had trouble at the end. »
