“I am going to do the same until my last day in Paris. I always try to find the best solution for my team. Even if you don’t (understand the decision), I don’t care. I don’t care at all,” Enrique added, asserting his authority amidst the ongoing speculation surrounding the future of the France international.

One fan remarked, “Enrique is jokes. he’s reminding him who actually makes the decisions.”
