Enrique: I don t care about the Golden Globes, my unquestionable favorite is Dembele

Luis Enrique talked about the Golden Globes this Wednesday before the Club World Cup match against Bottafogo. Enrique is not passionate about individual awards, but he still reiterated his support for Ottoman Dembele.

As the Champions League champion, Enrique has been praised in recent weeks, dreaming of leading Paris Saint-Germain to win another title in the Club World Cup in the United States. Paris will face Botavgo on Friday after showing off its strength and defeat at Atletico Madrid. Before playing against the Brazilian team, Enrique expressed his views on the Golden Globes with great frankness. The team passed by far better than a Golden Globe Award. The coach said bluntly at the press conference: "I don't care about the Golden Globe Awards at all. Personal awards are irrelevant to me, sorry, but I have said that my unquestionable favorite in my heart is Ottoman Dembele."

My favorite is Ottoman Dembele, an important contributor to Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League and performed amazingly in early 2025. Although he missed the opening stage of the Club World Cup due to injury, it is still Enrique's favorite. Although the Spanish coach supports his star, he also does not forget to emphasize the high level of many players in the team.

Enrique said in the face of the media: "I understand all this hustle and bustle around the Golden Globes. I understand that it's normal, it's something that can sell. Everyone can choose their own players, and besides Ottoman, there are many players who may win it. Personally, my favorite is Ottoman. Vitinia may win it too. As Ashraf, Fabian Ruiz and other players on the team, such as Marginhos, William Pacho, Nuno Mendes... all my players (all possible). But at the end of the day, I don't know who has the right to vote, and I'm really interested,"

Enrique bet on the team strength of Paris

Despite having individual stars in good shape, Paris Saint-Germain's most impressive is its strong team strength. In the Champions League final against Inter Milan and the Club World Cup debut, all the Paris players crushed their opponents. This made Enrique feel very pleased.

Enrique emphasized again before the match against Bottafogo: "I believe more in what our team is, believe in the meaning it represents in the football world, believe in the power of the team, believe in the power of the club. This is what I believe in. It is also pleasant to convey such a concept to young players. They often have very clear personal goals, but football is a team sport. Team sport is determined by collective factors, knowing how to share pain and knowing how to share joy."

Enrique finally concluded: "I believe that what our team delivers is far more important than a Golden Globe Award, which is a personal award, and it is a personal award. And to be honest, I really don't interest it."
