Luis Enrique: PSG Warning – “I’d Rather Play My Grandmother

Luis Enrique was offensive in a press conference. While PSG strolled against Rennes on Saturday with a bonus bonus (5-0) in Ligue 1, the Spanish technician appeared extremely heated at a press conference.

Asked about the playing time of the young people trained at the club, in particular that of David Boly, 16 years old and called to training with the pros, the former Barça coach kicked in by explaining that he was “not giving any gifts”: “When a Titi plays, it’s because he deserves to play. They all want to play. I’d rather make my grandmother play than give gifts. With that, it’s very clear. No gift. At PSG, you play if you deserve to play, otherwise, you still have to improve.”

A message which can be seen as positive for Ibrahim Mbaye, scorer yesterday, or Quentin Ndjantou, author of a promising entry.

“I know it’s more important to seek controversy all the time”

The Spanish coach was also annoyed on a question concerning the Russian Matvey Safonov and the absence in the group of the Ukrainian Illya Zabarny.

“It’s incredible… Every time you ask a question, it’s a little bit problematic. All the time. He is sick. He’s just sick. He’s been sick the last two days. But I know that it’s more important to talk about the controversy and to seek controversy all the time. But there is nothing, he is sick,” explained Luis Enrique. Enough to dispel doubts before flying to Bilbao in the Champions League.
