Luis Enrique appeared before the media to review the preview of the quarter-final match of the Eurocup that will measure Switzerland and Spain in Saint Petersburg . The national team got rid of Croatia in the round of 16, while their rival gave the surprise by eliminating France , one of the main favorites to win the title.
Will people get on the boat?
«You have to ask them»
Switzerland, complicated rival
“The reality is that Switzerland has passed and the rest does not matter. Our luck or misfortune is that we know each other very well from the Nations League . It will be a very difficult opponent. They do not have a great name but they are one of the best teams in the Eurocup, at our level. It will be very complicated.
🗣️ @ LUISENRIQUE21: “If you saw the GPS numbers of the players they are impressive.”

Goals conceded
«I disagree with the first statement. The Valdebebas game we were much superior but they generated a scoring chance for us throughout the game. The two games, that of Switzerland and Madrid, were very difficult. They press in the opposite field and cause problems. In those games we were very good. The goals conceded? We are one of the best teams on a defensive level. There is the data and the way in which it is obtained. There have been some individual errors but I am happy with how we manage the final minutes on defense. I complained about what we did with the ball in the last minutes.
Dangers of Switzerland
“I appreciate you making the statement because I also told you about Ukraine, and look where they are. Switzerland has a coach who has 67 games with their team, of high level, and we know that he is going to cause us problems. In this European Championship they are also competitive.
Unai Simon
«It is not necessary to martyr or commit suicide. It doesn’t matter the mistake, it matters what you do after the mistake. You have to do the reflection after the game. The problem is the error of concept, not of execution. Nadal says you have to have a fish memory and he’s right. If you miss a ball, there is no use thinking about that ball, you have to go for the next one. It’s what Unai did, outstanding for him.

Good physical condition
“It is not going to condition us at all. The GPS numbers are impressive . The physical issue always has to do with the emotional. If you are convinced you suddenly fly. Tiredness is much more emotional than physical. We are at top from the physical point of view.
Changes in the eleven?
I’ll decide tomorrow. I have confidence in the 24 and could play anyone ».
Any better than Spain?
«No».
