The Spanish manager is not happy with the criticism he receives in France.

Last Sunday Paris Saint-Germain got a 3-1 win against Stade Rennais at Roazhon Park thanks to goals from Vitinha, Achraf Hakimi and Randal Kolo Muani and are now in third place in the Ligue 1 standings, just two points behind leaders AS Monaco and one behind Nice.

 

This victory allowed them to put a difficult week behind them, in which they had drawn 0-0 against Clermont, the worst team in the French league, and lost 4-1 against Newcastle in the Champions League. However, it was not enough to satisfy everyone. The harsh criticism received by some of the squad's stars such as Kylian Mbappé did not stop after the match against Stade Rennais. Another of those targeted was Luis Enrique. The PSG coach was criticized for some decisions, such as the strategy to face Newcastle. And he didn't like that.

After Sunday's match, the Spanish manager gave an interview to Free Ligue 1, the channel that has the broadcasting rights to the French league. There was Ludovic Giuly, a former French winger who played for Barcelona, and some journalists. Among them Alexandre Ruiz, who asked him about the bad start PSG had had against Stade Rennais. This angered Luis Enrique, who replied: "You only go for the negative, eh? It's amazing. All the interviews. You are the most negative guy in the history of world soccer. One day we won 1-4 and you told me we deserved to lose. Soccer has a lot of circumstances... young people understand everything, it's you who doesn't understand it. That's what I think when you ask questions, but there's no problem".

After that, the coach put down the microphone and left the interview smiling, while Ruiz tried to explain his opinions.

 

What's next?

After the international break, PSG will face RC Strasbourg on Saturday, October 21 at the Parc des Princes. And four days later, also in Paris, they will play AC Milan in the Champions League.
