Laurent Blanc, the coach of PSG, faced the media ahead of the team’s crucial semi-final match against FC Nantes in the Coupe de la Ligue. However, Blanc seemed to be in a prickly mood during the press conference, responding to tactical questions with curt answers like “You will see.”
Blanc’s irritation with the journalists boiled over when he made a surprising proposition to them. He challenged the media to come to Clairefontaine and earn their coaching diplomas if they were so keen on giving tactical advice and making changes to the team.
His remarks reflected his frustration with the constant scrutiny and suggestions from the media, indicating that he believed many journalists were overstepping their bounds by trying to play the role of coach.
