The míster did self-criticism on some of his decisions, but highlighted the good work that he and his technical body made during all the cycle. Besides, desestimó the criticisms on the inefficiency of the Spanish game, although yes it recognised that, in front of Morocco, had to risk more to avoid arrive to the penaltis.
"I think that to Pablo Sarabia would have to have him given more minutes. It had put it to title, but is the of always. I am not of which flagela. In terms of justice deserved it to him, but is what there is. If it had to do again the list there would be one that would not carry", admitted 'Struggle'. On the fault of goal of the team, the Catalan technician ensured that it was "happy" with the forwards that carried, in spite of the controversy by not carrying to players like Iago Sails or Borja Churches.
"This speech in the selection have had it always, that do not have goal. I think that we were the selection that more split marking carried. Morata Marked goals, Asensio was to a big level, has a strike of the repera, Ferran has goal, Ansu has goal, Nico has power, Yeremy Pino, Sarabia... If you say me that Haaland is Spanish or can nationalise to Agüero as I am not gilipollas", commented the trainer of 52 years.
On the other hand, Luis Enrique resumió his experience mundialista. "The bad that have these competitions is that in 90 or 120 minutes can go all to the garete. It is evident that do not do a good party in front of Morocco, but take out a good conclusion. I am very satisfied of what have done in these four years because we have generated illusion in the selection. That we could have it better fact? Surely, but when one gives the 100 % has to be satisfied", sentenced 'Struggle'.
The penaltis in front of Morocco and the nerves of Luis Enrique
On the decisive batch in front of the Moroccans, in which Spain failed his three collections, the technician remembered how lived the definition. "Two days before the eighth study it, Bono guesses eight of each ten penaltis but had a low statistical level of stops. They are nerves. I put me seated in the bench looking the marker because in front it had to a lot of people and at the end lived it with naturalidad. We accept a very good image in the defeat. We showed that we knew to lose", it commented Luis Enrique.
In this sense, regretted the elimination then , for him, Spain did not have at all that envy to the four semifinalist selections. "I seat that we have lost a very good opportunity. I look to the semifinalists and do not see to any better that we", added the míster. Besides, it took advantage of for 'wet' with a prognosis. "You imagine you that it won Morocco? What puntazo. It does not leave me well, it leaves me the same. If no Leo Messi, but do not want to put 'mufa'", said between laughs.
