Luis Enrique Martínez left the match between Spain and Germany with a certain bittersweet taste. Happy to keep the lead, although he regretted not having kept the advantage goal. In any case, Lucho assured that “when I see the game repeated again I will like it more than now at the end”.
The coach gave a lot of value to being “as leaders in the group of death and we depend on us. We would have signed it after two days.”
Of the proper names, the technician said that Jordi Alba “is a player of the highest level, just like Busi, it’s a campaign and it’s normal, people get tired of veterans. I bring them because they are spectacular. Jordi Alba is the best winger in the world in the last third of the field, just like Busi, they have been trying to retire him for many years. I hope we convince him to follow another World Cup.”
Lucho saw “the first part” better, although later “we lacked a little confidence to think that we could do them more harm. In the second we have not controlled. When they have already seen themselves under great pressure, they have made us come and go and they have complicated us”.
ambitious
One of the virtues of the Red was that “the team has been ambitious from start to finish“and he did not pose much of a bill for the German goal.”His goal was our mistake when we got out of the ball that we don’t usually make, but soccer is a game of mistakes. We are leaders, with maximum confidence in what we do and how we do it.”
Facing the match against Japan that closes the group, he assured that “I liked the attitude and it is the intention we have, we do not speculate. Even if the draw is worth it, we will win.” Lucho said that his team has a motto that “pressure is a privilege” and that they will go all out against the Japanese.
Morata discomfort
The coach stated that “the 16 players are exemplary, they all deserve to play, without exception, Morata is in a phenomenal moment in terms of form, with some physical problem. It gives us a lot of guarantee. He contributes a lot, when he plays he always adds up.”

“We lacked finesse and freshness throughout the game. In the first we have generated more than the rival, in the second we have been thicker. When we advance, we accompany the panic mode of Germany. He was only worth winning and we have not been precise and calm to take the game where we want. It’s been missing a bit of grounds,” he admitted.
Luis Enrique was asked about the anniversary of his deceased daughter and said that “It has been a special day for my family. We think of living this naturally. Physically our daughter is not there, but she is present every day. We laughed. We think about how she would act in many things that happen to us. That’s life and it’s not all pretty things.”
