The players of the Spanish team enjoyed a rest day this Saturday. A day to disconnect that they have faced with a good face after the blow suffered with the defeat against Japan. The main reason for the change in mood was in the intervention of Luis Enrique, who raised the team with his talk before granting the day off.
Lucho finished the game against the Japanese upset by the defeat and the players were also affected by the setback. Of course, the next day the coach I knew that I had to work on the emotional aspect of footballers. The help of the psychologist, Joaquín Valdés, is key to help launch the message, but the way of transmitting it by Luis Enrique it is transcendental.
The coach gathered the players in the booth and was very forceful. He told them that they had failed against Japan, but that he was still convinced that they have the level to compete against the best teams. An accident that can be corrected and he insisted that they get up to defeat Morocco in the round of 16.
Lucho spoke with energy and an intensity that left the players amazed. Everyone left the talk confident that they are still a great team and should not cringe before anyone. They have the ability to fight anyone.
Lucho’s army
The coach’s soldiers left the pothole behind and on Friday they already trained with the same enthusiasm as always. The time for regrets was over on Thursday night after playing against Japan and Luis Enrique infected them with his winning mentality.
