Regarding the UEFA Nations League, the coach remarked that “the only goal we have is to win the competition”
Luis Enrique, Spanish coach, appeared at a press conference to analyze this Thursday’s game against Portugal. It will be Spain’s debut in the new edition of the UEFA Nations League at the Benito Villamarín.
The technician was asked by Ansu Fati and stressed that “he is fine, beyond the situation he has experienced this season. We are here to help you. We are going to manage the matter of minutes, we will see. We wanted him to come so he could have a joy. She could use some play, but we clearly need the players because they are official matches & rdquor ;.
Luis Enrique insisted on Ansu that “we must forget about the injury, a pathology is created that is not necessary. He has played the last month and a half with Barça, he is recovered, healthy. We will see if he will be given the opportunity to compete. He needs to play & rdquor ;.
Busquets and Ferran Torres
Another proper name was that of Busquets, of whom he said that “he is exceptional, sometimes he is treated unfairly, but he is the one who has played the most minutes. He would give him more rest, but there are not many games either. QWe want him to remain the leader until his head decides to stop.”De Ferran Torres pointed out that “I have found him like the rest, with enthusiasm, desire to represent his country and play good games with the national team. We all smell that there is something very important that is coming And we really want to participate.”
Regarding the debut in the Nations League, against Portugal, the coach was forceful: “The only goal we have is to win the competition, the usual goal, whether it’s a friendly match or an official one.. We want to win all four games, although I don’t think they’ll win all four because of the equality that exists. The goal should be to aspire to the maximum. You can look for mitigating factors but they are the same conditions for all the selections & rdquor ;.
Rivalry with Portugal
From Portugal he said that “it is a very well organized team due to individual quality, it is only necessary to look at the amount of operations in the market of its players. They have won important titles and are at a very high level2.
Spain and Portugal have a historic rivalry, which the coach defined as “optimistic and positive, with a joint World Cup project. In the previous games there have been no ugly tickets and hopefully you can see a great show, that this time there are goals. Let it serve as a stimulus & rdquor ;.
Of the World Cup in Qatar in November, he warned that “everything will be very different, with different circumstances, but I would not classify them as adverse.” In any case, he announced that “there will be surprises on the list, players always come out” and avoided “getting into controversy” about the convenience of the dates of these four Nations League games in June.
Regarding Cristiano’s presence and his role in world football, Lucho took it with good humor “this is a matter of the press, I don’t know if they are the kings of soccer, mambo or salsa. I value all the players, Cristiano, Messi, those who join, all of them.”
