A biography for Luis Enriquehasn’t been written yet.
“Bravo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Jordi Masip are three goalkeepers of the highest quality.”
“Messi is an extraterrestrial in every sense, and I'm very fortunate that I was able to enjoy the best, or one of the best, versions of him. Without a doubt, he's the number one, and to be that, you have to control every aspect and be very strong physically.”
“I focus on football. I'm not interested in gossip.”
“I do what I want.”
“I think Messi's is a fantastic attitude and should be the mentality that all top players in the world should adopt.”
“Messi is the best in the world, even when he is defending.”
“Coaching the national team would be great.”
“When you're leading 4-1, the opponent has nothing to lose.”
“Scoring a goal is very important for us, but the objective is to win the match.”
“When we have a defensive situation in which we are conceding too many goals, it is not just a problem in the defense but the entire team, starting with the coach.”
“I always think we have to be cautious with our attitude to refereeing the professionals and the people in the football family.”
“In football, you have to be consistent.”
“Any one of Messi, Neymar, Xavi, or Suarez can take penalties; it doesn't matter.”
“The trainer I learned most from about the field of play was Van Gaal, even though he's the one I've had the most confrontations with - well, disagreements. He's got an obsession with work ethic, the way he plans.”
“I'd like to manage in England at some point. My wife wouldn't like the weather; she's from Barcelona and likes the sun. It would depend on the team and the football they played.”
“Against a team who are tight inside their area, you look to find combinations, the center with the wings or with shots from outside the box.”
“It seems Barcelona are expected to win every title, but it is not always like this. People think Barca win automatically, but that's not the case.”
“The captains of the national team are the ones that have played the most matches. That's what I had in the national team. Maximum respect to those players.”
“A coach's life is that, when you win, it is easy, and when you lose, you're no good; it's all your fault.”
“Things don't always work out as you want them to.”
