“What the press wants is something black or white, or it is at its best or it is a disaster. But that is not the case, in life there are nuances,” added the coach, for whom young players like boat (22 years old) would be better protected without the press.
In the case of the new French international, Luis Enrique considered it to be one of the best of PSG at the beginning of this season, and that he emerged unscathed from criticism a year ago because he was “a balanced, sensible, humble person, with good family values.”
