Luis Enrique is a ‘colorful‘ character. Great player in his time, played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid, had a regular live session on Twitch during the 2022 Qatar World Cup (while he was still the national coach) and is never afraid to openly give his opinion on something. He also dislikes journalists and said a few times that they can‘t speak with him about football because they don‘t know it as well as he. He even admitted he would gladly give 50% of his wage as long as he doesn‘t have to speak to the media. He also suffered a family tragedy, when he lost his nine year daughter due to cancer in 2019.’I am more Barca than Xavi’So, a documentary about him sounds like a very interesting movie and it‘s about to happen soon. Movistar + plans to premiere the series about Luis Erique called ‘‘You don’t have a **** idea“ (he chose the title himself) on Monday, September 30 and already a few snippets caused a few headlines. For example, he was honest enough to say that “Barça signed me to annoy Madrid” and also admitted that his former club contacted him to ask him would he replace Xavi as manager back in 2023. “Are you going to fire Xavi if he wins the League and the Cup? No, right? Well, that’s it” he replied to Laporta, per Marca.Luis Enrique downplaying the hype ahead BVB: The press doesn’t know much about footballOn the other hand, more recent comments also drew attention, especially about Barcelona under Xavi, as well as about Kylian Mbappe. Luis Enrique also admitted that he would never coach the Parisian if Mbappe, Messi and Neymar were still in the club, and continued about his current club and the recently departed striker.“Without Kylian, the whole team is the cornerstone of the project … If you won trophies for having the best player in the world, PSG would have won eight Champions Leagues. They have not won any. Mbappé never defends, he finds it difficult, but he scores 25 goals and 15 assists and we have to adapt the system to his abilities. He’s a great player, but he’s an even better person. He works hard, he’s endearing, he’s kind“ said the Spaniard.‘The Holy Spirit decides who will go through’As for his former club, the documentary shows what Luis Enrique told his PSG staff before the second leg of the quarter-final with Barcelona, which the Parisians won after Araujo got the red card.”Barça are not a dominant team and they are not a good defensive team. They have no defensive quality. They just throw the ball around. Ter Stegen broke the record for long passes. They play like Eibar” he said.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 7TuesdayValencia – Osasuna 0-0Sevilla – Valladolid 2-1 (1-0)/Torres 45 og, Ejuke 85 – Perez K. 56/Real Madrid – Alaves 3-2 (2-0)/Vazquez 1, Mbappe 40, Rodrygo 48 – Benavidez 85, Garcia 87/WednesdayGirona – Rayo Vallecano 0-0Barcelona – Getafe 1-0 (1-0)/Lewandowski 19/Thursday20:00: (3.35) Espanyol (3.45) Villareal (2.15)20:00: (3.15) Las Palmas (3.35) Betis (2.45)20:00: (4.20) Celta (3.60) Atl.Madrid (1.95)***odds are subject to change***
