Spain will face Switzerland on Friday. Luis Enrique gave a very honest and interesting interview.
Game against Switzerland
Spain faces Switzerland in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals on Friday and Luis Enrique is confident that none of the other seven teams still in the tournament are superior to La Roja. Luis Enrique also explained that his players are at their top level in terms of fitness and stressed that the only issues they could face would be mental rather than physical. The numbers of the GPS are impressive. Luis believes that the issue is much more emotional than physical. Enrique said – “If we are mentally well, we are doing well on the physical. We are impressed. I don’t know if there will be changes. All 24 can play.”
Coach also indicated that he is unsure whether the fact that Spain faced Switzerland in the Nations League last year is good for his team in terms of preparing for this game. Switzerland have qualified and the good thing or the bad thing is that the two teams know each other well,” added Luis Enrique. It will be a very difficult game. As a group they are one of the best teams in the Euros, because of how they press and attack. It will be very complicated.
Being a superior team
In the game in Valdebebas Luis admitted that Spain was superior, although it was complicated. In both games we were very good. Regarding the review of the goals conceded, the attitude of the team is very good and it is true that there were some individual errors. We are one of the best teams in defence. I complained about what we did with the ball in those last minutes.” Luis Enrique also praised Unai Simon for his impressive reaction after his howler led to Croatia’s opener in the last 16 game, where Spain won 5-3 in extra time.
