Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has rebuffed the “Special One” label ahead of their Champions League clash against Villarreal on Tuesday.
Enrique has guided the French giants to back-to-back Champions League titles.
“We have all won, we have all lost,” he reporters during a press conference. “I have been through countless situations where I was considered a ‘fraud’ by a lot of people, and that fraud has kept evolving and improving, because that is the mindset a coach must have, TNTsports quoted.
PSG are making a habit of winning. They’ve now won nine games in a row in all competitions, and they travel to Spain live on TNT Sports 4 on HBO Max at 20:00 UK time.
In the Champions League, Luis Enrique’s side lead the league phase table with three wins from three. Their last two outings were statement victories over potential title rivals Barcelona and Manchester City, both by 4-2.
That makes them heavy favourites against a Villarreal side who lost 1-0 to Espanyol at the weekend and are ninth in La Liga, with only three points from their Champions League games so far. Enrique, though, spoke passionately before the game about taking a long-term perspective.
