Ahead of PSG meeting Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, Les Parisiens coach Luis Enrique recalled turning down a job from Madrid in 2011.
“The interest was true, but I had already given my word to another club. Although Atlético was very lucky because I would not have been half of the years it has been with Simeone. I don’t have that energy. Luck had the love of Atlético,” smiled Enrique.
“Tomorrow I will see Mr. Simeone again with him. I already coincided as a player. He is a top coach. I admire when I see that a coach has been in a big club for so many years. I know how difficult it is to convince his players and when he is there for so many years he can only be a top coach.
“It will be a very difficult game that collectively knows what they play and individually they have a lot of quality.”
He added, “We arrived at the equator of a competition in which we do not know what can happen. We focus on tomorrow’s game and do things better than the rival to be closer to victory.”
