Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke to Movistar +. He spoke of how important it is for him to give his players confidence and help them, especially with criticism. He spoke of his strong principles, particularly authenticity.
Luis Enrique “I prefer a lot of criticism…”
“It’s important for me to show the daily life and details of my family and myself. Helping a player who lacks confidence keeps me alive and active. Like when there’s criticism. I prefer a lot of criticism… The more, the better.
We always have critics, like you (journalists). I’m trying to get a message across to young people, above all, so that they forget about trying to please everyone. It’s complicated and you have to know how to deal with it. The authenticity of my everyday life.”
These are words that will be repeated, in the media, to criticize or praise the coach. We know that he’s not driven by journalists and the media.
He’s built around his principles and his players. He wants to “educate” his squad and give them a strong foundation. He stresses that you have to stop trying to please everyone – it’s not possible.
Criticism is part of the process, and he wants to support the system he knows so well. These are fine principles, and of course they correspond to the PSG we’ve been seeing for over a year now.
