Luis Enrique appeared before the media after the meeting between Spain and Portugal in the Metropolitan . Both combined drew 0-0 in their first test before the Euro . The coach was very satisfied with the game of his players. The technician was the protagonist of the whistles heard when his name was announced over the public address system. “I do not care if I have been whistled, I have not even found out,” he said.
The result
«The attitude, the commitment, many positive things in terms of the game, but what I liked the least was the result. In the last half hour it was very hot and everything evened out. After two games against Germany, against the Netherlands and against Portugal he has not lost. Then, each one can decide if they are excited or not. I am optimistic”.
Great rival
“Portugal is the current champion of Europe and the League of Nations, what else could we hope for.”
Ownership of Unai
No, it is not a message for Unai Simón. I am using the players that I understand best at all times. I can use the goalkeepers and players I want at all times. It is not a message, I would send it by word of mouth not through an ownership. It was fine except for a small mistake. What I like is his personality. An error or a possible failure is not going to condition you ».
Robert Sanchez
«Yes, the idea was for him to debut. He has not debuted because Laporte had discomfort, fatigue. I would have liked him to have played because it made me especially excited. He could have played with another team and has decided to play with us.
Central pair
«I have seen them exceptional. Great output of the ball, fiscal power, personality, capable of staying one by one with attackers of a very high level … They touched the outstanding one. I know that it is not usual to find two left-handed centrals, but I have played with two right-handed centrals and we were all used to it. It seems that with two left-handers it is different… I have a lot of confidence in them, they have been very good ».
Possible headlines?
“Maybe yes and maybe not”.
Pedri
«Pedri has incredible physical numbers, he is one of the most resistant in the First Division. Tiredness are topics that are said a lot and we end up believing them. We have no doubt with him, it is a pleasure to see him play and we are happy ».
Things to improve
«We always have to improve. Have more possession, be more in tune for the door. The usual, all the teams.
Audience whistles
“I do not care. It neither goes nor comes to me. It bothers me that it is done with the players. Everyone is very free to do what they want. I wish you a happy weekend and have a great time. People praise me and in Madrid I am delighted. Being whistled even puts me in tune ”.
lack of goal
“If you score six goals, nobody asks why there have been goals. My job is to build trust. I don’t get angry for missing scoring chances. I am not worried about the lack of a goal, it occupies me ”.
Chants against Morata
“The last action of the game after having killed himself to press and be a nuisance for the Portuguese players is capable of making a play in which he does not enter by a hair. You have to get up and applaud, but it must be that I’m the one who knows the least about football.
Sarabia
“He has convinced me. In this context and with the defensive demands he has for me, he has been very good and has given us many things. I am very happy with his performance ”.
Many teams represented
“Previous teams that have been champions had a base of a team and this in principle helps, but I have as a rule not to complain. You have to have quality and a number of players that I found hopeful ”.
Portugal
“She is the number one candidate for the title. It is one of those that individually has the best players in Europe. It is a team that we have been able to control in many moments of the game, although it has caught us in some transition. It was a very good test for everyone ”.
