“Many believe that he has a sense of superiority, that he is pretentious. He constantly puts himself on display. Some players just can’t take it anymore“, testified an agent in L’Équipe this Saturday about Albert Riera’s attitude at Girondins de Bordeaux.
The coach responded at the start of his post-match press conference this Saturday evening.
“Please don’t touch my players”
Albert Riera: “I want to talk about what came out today. My players are the most important. A coach is nothing without his players. I was a player and I know that. When someone touches me in the locker room and invades my privacy. When some players are not happy. It touches me. If someone touches this privacy of the locker room, they will find me. If you want, ask each player how they feel in the group. Please don’t touch my players. I will protect my players in good and bad times. If someone says that my players are not happy and if it is not true, it pays very serious attention. The group works well with a good mood. Please, don’t do wrong things. Say, my dressing room and I are together.”
