Luis Enrique defended his management on Friday evening and insisted that he followed the same approach during his time in Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spaniard won a domestic double last season, his first at the club, but with Kylian Mbappe in the team, PSG could not go beyond the semi -final phase of the Champions League.
Without Mbappe they are facing Inter Milan in Munich this weekend to win the competition for the first time – and to complete the Treble.
In a fiery response to a question from a French journalist, who suggested that the team now had a perfect harmony, Enrique said: “We have had this harmony since the beginning.
“Maybe you didn't want to see that. I don't like what you say. Maybe you would say otherwise if we had won last year.
“I have been the same person since the beginning. I have exceptional players.
“We see the glass as half full. I let them play as a team, but that is my goal since day one.
'Our journey has been difficult, a long and winding road. The fact that we struggled through it is now an advantage.
“We have not shown any fear so far and it will not be the case tomorrow.”
