However, the coach admits that the win “strengthens us all” for the following commitments: “It was a great night”
Luis Enrique was jubilant on the field and celebrated the goals with a big smile. However, when he appeared before the media after the game at Al Thumama Stadium this Wednesday, he showed a more reserved face, in an attempt to lessen the collective ecstasy for Spain’s historic performance against Costa Rica in his Qatar World Cup debut .
The coach did not conceal that the victory activates a “positive current” in the group and that “it strengthens us all” for the next games, with Germany just around the corner, but he wanted to issue a warning against euphoria that can be installed in the area of La Roja. “Praise weakens,” launched the Asturian, who is convinced that the players will know how to manage victory so as not to settle. Tomorrow the first training at the headquarters of the University of Qatar with the sights already set on the duel against the Germans.
Gijón’s coach claims that “this team will never relax” because they know that what they achieved in the World Cup debut is important, yes, but it is still the first step on a very long road that will not be exempt from ups and downs He also believes the clash with the Germans is more than enough “motivation” to maintain the competitive dynamic and not lower attitudes one iota during training.
non-negotiable style
However, in the same way that the coaching staff has to do mental work with the dressing room when there is a particularly painful defeat, it is necessary to do the same, but in the opposite direction, when there is such a resounding success as the one in Doha. But just in case he has brought up that it is quite possible that there will be lineup changes in the next match, so he has emphasized everyone.
Focusing on the match against Costa Rica, the coach acknowledged that everything turned out “round”. And he has attributed it to three fundamental factors: the “beastly” defensive work, especially in recovering the ball when lost, the agility in attack, fostered by the connection of Busquets, Pedri and Gavi, and the fact that the team has remained true to his style until the end, with no possibility to speculate when the clash was already decided.
Luis Enrique has stressed that Spain has been shown to have a goal, contrary to what its opponents claim. He doesn’t have a killer as such, he argued, but he does have a lot of football players who gain weight and also have gunpowder.
