After criticizing his turnover, Jérôme Rothen praised Luis Enrique in Rothen ignites on RMC.

Luis Enrique seems to have convinced even his most ardent detractors thanks to his results, but also and above all, to the playful certainties displayed by his team.

Yes, I was able to say that I didn’t understand his turnover, what he wanted to put in place, thus recognized the RMC consultant Jérôme Rothen. He was wrong at times. But all the detractors of Luis Enrique, the anti-Luis Enrique, even the results, they put that aside… While the essence of football and a competitive sport is above all to have the results for build something. »

“There is total support from the players”

According to the former Monaco player, it is time to bow to the Spanish coach. “What I see is that at the end of April, all competitions are still playable. Some have already been won, the championship is perhaps in two days. The Coupe de France may be at the end of May, they won the Champions Trophy and they are in the semi-final of the Champions League. »

But it is above all the game on offer that appeals to Rothen. “When I see what the team is doing, apart from the first leg against Barcelona (2-3 defeat in the C1 quarter-final first leg, Editor’s note), it has often impressed me. Starting with last night’s match (against OL), following on from the match in Barcelona (1-4 victory in the LDC quarter-final second leg). The first half is incredible. In his management, he is incredible, yet we could have doubts about blowing some people away. There is total support from the players. And what I see is that the players like him. Everyone, unanimously, tells you that he is an excellent trainer”
