Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, 24-year-old Paris Saint-Germain winger, praised Paris coach Luis Enrique’s character on PSG TV. He said he was impressed by the PSG coach’s “respect and clarity”.
Kvaratskhelia “What impressed me most about him was his character and the way he treats his players”.
“Luis Enrique?
I’m really happy to be here with him, at a club like this. What impressed me most about him is his character and the way he treats his players.
Luis Enrique gives you the feeling, on and off the pitch, that you have to give your all, for the club and for all the fans.
Luis Enrique treats you with such respect and clarity… We all know what kind of coach he is, but personally, it’s his humanity that has impressed me the most, the way he communicates with the players, the way he tells the story of soccer.”
These are strong words, in stark contrast to what the media say about the Parisian coach. It’s true that his behaviour with journalists is more confrontational, but it’s also a way of protecting his group and taking everything on himself.
Now, it’s not every day you hear praise like that. It’s a real plus for the future, the new arrivals and the desire to give everything for your coach. These words will stay with us, because it also gives strength to the whole group to see that players are fully behind their coach, especially at key moments in the season.
