In an interview with the UEFA website, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (winger, 23) paid tribute to his coach, Luis Enrique. The Georgian international highlights the human dimension and management skills of the Spanish coach, underlining the positive impact of his methods on the dressing room and player performance.
Kvaratskhelia “the kind of person he is and the way he treats his players.”
“Coaches are incredibly important in a footballer’s career. What struck me most about him is the kind of person he is and the way he treats his players. When someone comes to you calmly and explains everything, the player tries even harder to understand and perform even better.
He makes you feel, both on and off the pitch, that you have to give your all, for him, for the club and for all the fans. He treats you with great respect and clarity. It’s his humanity that impressed me the most.”
Luis Enrique wanted him this summer, he got him this winter. There was an agreement in principle, that’s for sure. As for the rest, as the Paris coach says, he knew the player well and brought him in because he knew his qualities.
So he’s not surprised and he’s made him one of his core men. He brings him out less than the others, aware that his invaluable contribution offensively and defensively, coupled with his boundless drive and desire, can only be invaluable to the team. We can’t wait to see what happens next, with a real preparation with the Parisian club.
