After the first victory against Costa Rica, Spain face the conflict against Germanythe second here worldas a challenge for the group. “This is a great test for us. Because of an important event, against a favorite in a difficult situation, we have to show that we will not play differently”, stated Luis Enrique. “We want to dominate the whole game. If we can, fantastic, and if not, we congratulate our rivals.”
The Spanish coach wanted to reduce the euphoria in the atmosphere and remembered how volatile a World Cup can be. “Here you can win three group matches and be eliminated in the round of 16” and it was revealed behind closed doors “We raised the clash like the eighth. If we win, we pass the phase.” In this sense, he added that “this competition does not reward regularity, it rewards excellence in important moments.”
The main goal is to catch the ball. “I think Germany always play attacking. The first result can be conditioned, but the Germans always try to get the ball. This is the team Spain most resembles. For us it’s a very good challenge, it’s going to be an open game.”
of the Germans, Luis Enrique He emphasized that Flick’s men also have “bestial physical power. At the level of football it is up to the greats and if anyone knows how to compete it is Germany“.

What is important is the 16. The players that come in are important. The alignment worries me zero”, he sentenced.
In Spain’s eleven there is an expected change. “I don’t usually repeat myself,” he recalled, but he wanted to emphasize that “I don’t make the lineups based on the rival”.
The debut against Costa Rica generated a lot of expectations. The biggest win in the World Cup, but Luis Enrique he pointed out that “it’s a game. Three points, nothing more”. Yes, it’s true that it builds confidence, but “you shouldn’t overdo it, because if you don’t they’ll overdo you.” In that sense, he remains in the age of his people. “This group of players is very talented,” so he’s not too worried.
It’s good that the players made his job easier in that sense. “I feel better about managing problems. I’m such an asshole”, declared that the laughter of the press room began. “I feel more comfortable. The more they want me to sink, the more nervous I get. My essence is in poverty”, claimed the coach, who did not expect such an amazing start. “You always hope for the best, but you never expect a fantastic version. It’s great when you see your team enjoying themselves like this.”
