A documentary on Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, is currently being broadcast on Movistar, with different episodes to get to know his life, his philosophy and his management of the group. There are some outstanding excerpts, such as some talks to the group in the dressing room and debriefings with the players. Including Kylian Mbappé (25-year-old striker). A discovery not to the liking of Spain coach Luis De La Fuente. He spoke to Cadena SER about the subject.
De La Fuente: “These are private matters”.
“We talk a lot with footballers but not to broadcast it or make it public, these are private things, a conversation if it’s private doesn’t need to be broadcast. I don’t like that. We don’t do it as part of our routine”. comments relayed by Le Parisien.
This position is understandable. Discussions within a group are not generally intended for broadcast. There is the question of possible “staging”, since the coach and players know that they are being filmed.
However, it’s also interesting for observers and fans to get to know a bit more about a coach and club life in general. Even if not everything can be revealed. It’s hard to let people know a little more without showing some important elements.
It’s good to have this barrier between the club and the fans, which is lowered a little, and it also helps to create a link when the life of the players or the coach sometimes seems totally separate.
