Luis Enrique: ‘It’s not easy to play against Spain and not at the World Cup’

“This is a team, there is an overall strategy and that is what we are trying to do,” he summed up, always with a collective sense of the game, about the keys to victory in Portugal

Luis Enrique came out on top again after several days of criticism of the Spanish team’s match against Switzerland in Zaragoza. The truth is that La Roja was deeply disappointed in La Romareda, but in Braga, against Portugal, a highly qualified rival, they came back in a flat first half to beat their rival through possession. The fault of the lack of depth certainly lies with me, as the clear goal was to take the ball from Portugal and eliminate their attacking players. We have reached it, but we have forgotten to go deeper. “The result is the least, the most important is to see how the players, the staff celebrate. It’s always said that if you want to see the state of a team, you have to look at the people around you,” he summed up, appealing to the mood rather than football. “It’s not easy to play against Spain and it won’t be at the World Cup either,” he warned by way of accusation.

“This is a team, there is an overall strategy and that is what we are trying to do. Today it was Morata because he has a higher physical level. It was very important that their players didn’t have the ball, we achieved that. In the second half we have been more daring, we have removed Hugo because he had a card and Rodri has shown that he can play in the back. Busi is someone who generates endless game situations. All the wingers did their job and the truth is that the feeling I had in the second half was that we would score a goal,” he analyzed in depth, questioned about his overall impression of the victory in Portugal.

“It is a great joy, especially for our people, all the people watching it from home and the Zaragoza public, to whom we could not dedicate a victory. Of course I prefer to arrive like this, achieve the goal in a very difficult group, but if we hadn’t reached it, I wouldn’t change anything. Now we have one last friendly in Jordan and we are much better after a win,” he concluded, resting in victory despite the joy of a victory that will recharge the batteries and clear doubts until the World Cup.

The goal of the last four of the League of Nations has been achieved, and all eyes are now on Qatar. “The most difficult decision for me as a coach is coming up, which is to leave key players out of the World Cup,” he acknowledged. “I need to see Ansu Fati at his club and see if he can get back to his level and come to the national team. Laporte is very important to us and we look forward to seeing him play for his club again,” he summed up. about two of the great absentees in this conversation, although in several situations the Manchester City central defender was stuck, the Barca forward doubtful.

“My body is asking me to go home now and enjoy it quietly and analyze the game. Next is Qatar, we have reached an agreement and we will see what is best,” he said for the umpteenth time when he was asked about his future.Now only the World Cup in Qatar counts.
