Luis Enrique’s Surprising Comment on Dani Olmo
PSG coach Luis Enrique shifts attention to Dani Olmo rather than celebrating Barcelona’s Super Cup win over Real Madrid.
Luis Enrique, head coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), made headlines with an unexpected reaction during his post-match press conference after PSG’s 2-1 victory over Saint-Étienne. The media expected Enrique to comment on Barcelona’s resounding 5-2 win against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. Instead, his response surprised everyone.
When asked if he watched Barcelona’s performance, Enrique replied, "No, I didn’t. Did Dani Olmo play?" Upon learning that Olmo featured in the match, he added, "Then I am happy for him. Best wishes to him." This unexpected focus on Olmo, rather than his former club, left fans and journalists intrigued.
Enrique’s history with Barcelona is well-documented. As a manager, he guided the team to numerous trophies, including the Champions League, La Liga, and Copa del Rey during his tenure. His connection with Barcelona made the lack of acknowledgment of their victory over their arch-rivals even more striking.
Social media erupted with mixed reactions. While some Barcelona fans expressed disappointment, interpreting the comment as a lack of loyalty, others praised Enrique’s professionalism and his support for Olmo, who was under his leadership during his time with the Spanish national team. Olmo, currently playing for RB Leipzig, has been a standout performer for both club and country.
Enrique’s comments reflect his focus on his current responsibilities with PSG, where he is leading the club in their Ligue 1 campaign and Champions League aspirations. His ability to separate personal connections from professional duties showcases his commitment to his current role.
While PSG continues to dominate Ligue 1, Enrique’s remarks have sparked discussions about loyalty and the dynamics of football relationships. This moment highlights the multifaceted nature of football management and the delicate balance between personal connections and professional focus.
