"Paris Saint-Germain" forward Hatem Ben Arfa criticized two of the best coaches in the world, Jose Mourinho and Diego Simeone.
According to the Frenchman, the playing style promoted by these specialists kills football.
On the other hand, both of them can boast of excellent careers - the current "Manchester United" strategist has triumphed in the UEFA Champions League and in many national championships, while the "Atletico" coach in Spain successfully opposes "Barcelona" and Madrid's "Real" clubs.
"Many coaches are convinced that they need to reinvent football using the pretext of looking for a system that can prevent the opponent," - Ben Arfa told France Football. "However, that, along with Mourinho and Simeone, is not the essence of football."
"It is completely opposite to Cruyff's (former "Ajax" and "Barcelona" coach) and his freedom, and there is no longer room for pleasure with them."
"There is no more spectacle - to the point where football interests me much less. I don't enjoy watching games. We are killing football even in "Ligue 1".
If this criticism of coaches was not enough, Ben Arfa also criticized the four-time best player in the world Cristiano Ronaldo: "He doesn't give me any emotions. He is predictable."
