The time has come, and Luis Enrique faces his final clash as Barcelona's tactician. During his last pre-match press conference, the rather successful coach analyzed his stint with the team, his relationship with the press, and even hinted a possible return to Barcelona's dugout next season just to get on "someone's nerves".
"Maybe I'll return on July 10 and see who's wearing a frown or who has a heart attack with my return. Never say never...I'm still young, handsome and charming, why not return? I look older than when I first took the job, you say, but I'm not going to talk about how some of you gained a few pounds," Luis Enrique told the press.
The Spanish manager also admitted that the place where he felt less comfortable was the team's conference room.
"This is just a circus, and I'm not going to talk about who you want the clown to be. I tried to keep a straight face even when some just came out at me. I'm 47 years old and I'm not going to change, but to be honest, this is the place I could have lived without during the past years," the coach added.
And as if it was meant to be, his final question had to do with Lionel Messi's influence in the team. The outgoing coach spared no praise when he spoke about the Argentinean ace.
"All our titles belong to each and everyone of the team's players, staff, and obviously, to the best player in the world. Leo is an example of how hard you have to work to compete. He's a leader to all of his team-mates," the coach concluded.
