The Paris Saint-Germain coach played down the emerging controversy following his choice to remove Kylian Mbappé on the hour mark against Rennes last Sunday.
If Luis Enrique has not given Kylian Mbappé any gifts since the start of their collaboration, the relationship between these two strong characters remains fluid. Even after last Sunday’s episode, where the Spaniard replaced his star after the hour mark, before assuming his choice with a frank speech after the match against Rennes (1-1).
This Friday, the former La Roja coach brought out the carrot, on the eve of a match in Monaco which will have a particular flavor for the Bondy prodigy. “ He was very young. I don’t remember much about him in Monaco but I know they did good things“, smiled Luis Enrique, before returning to his comments made on Sunday.
“I always look for the good of the team”
“ It’s a spontaneous reaction after a match. But it is reality even if people can interpret it. What is important for me is to have the peace of mind to seek the best solutions for the team at any given moment. It is always the present and the immediate future that count. »
“With Luis Campos we talk about the present and future of the team every day. What I do as a coach is to try to exploit all the players present. What I always look for is the good of the team“, concluded the Paris Saint-Germain coach. End of the story.
