Luis Enrique is "an
uncommunicative coach" who
doesn't talk to his players,
according to former Barcelona
forward Bojan Krkic .
The Spaniard, who now plays his football in the Premier
League with Stoke City, worked under the current
Blaugrana boss when he was in charge of the club's 'B'
side.
Luis Enrique has come under-fire for dropping Lionel Messi
in the defeat Real Sociedad and Barcelona's inconsistency
in performance levels in the first half of the season.
And Bojan has added further fuel to the fire by hitting out
at his style of leadership. "He is a very uncommunicative
coach," he told L'Esportiu . "Luis Enrique lacks
understanding with the players. He has also been a player
and he should know what it feels like to be in a locker
room. At the end of the season we will see if his way of
managing things is successful or not.
"He has a clear idea, working with his staff daily away
from the players and there is little dialogue. Everyone has
a different type of training and this is his."
Bojan, 24, played alongside Messi on a number of
occasions when he broke through at Camp Nou back in
2007 and offered his support to his former team-mate.
"When I shared the dressing room with him, things were
going well so there were no conflicts or problems. I do not
know if this has changed now.
"Every player needs certain stimuli to perform and Messi
wants to feel important and be in good company. He has
earned the opportunity to choose when to play and when
not to, because he is the leader of the club on the field."
