He admits that after being a substitute at Anoeta he was displeased with the Asturian coach for a while
In a new excerpt from the interview that Jorge Valdano does to Leo Messi on his Universo Valdano program, which can be seen on Monday at 10:00 p.m. on Vamos, the Argentine striker talks about his relationship with Luis Enrique, the coach who It made him win his last Champions League, in the 2015 Berlin final. “I had a special relationship with him. We told him to stay,” says Messi.
Interestingly, there was talk for a long time that the relationship between the two was not very good, especially as a result of the Argentine’s substitution in the first game of the year against Real Sociedad in Anoeta. Days before, in addition, they had starred in an incident in training and seeing himself as a substitute was too much for Leo. In the interview, Messi acknowledges that this substitution caused him to be angry with Luis Enrique for a while.
Luckily for Barça, the relationship was redirected and the team had a spectacular second stretch of the season that ended with the achievement of the treble.
