Euphoria: “We have to be calm, without any kind of euphoria. We would have liked to go first, but that's how football is.”
Morata: “Obviously we accept criticism, but threats are unacceptable. We are all responsible for our actions, for what we do and for what we say.”
Pedri: “I am surprised by his maturity, he has quality and he is going to be a very important player. He is the present and the future of Spain.”
Busquets: “We all know him and it is wonderful to play alongside him. He is at a very high level. Now he is the captain. It was clear that the coach was going to wait for him.”
Balance: “It is not easy to win the games. There is no one that wins easily. I keep our thing, correct our mistakes. It is useless to look at the rivals. We want to reach the final, which is where we all want to be.”
Perisic: “It is an important loss for them. They have been playing at a high level for years, but I'm sure they will make up for it well. Because a team has eleven players, not just one. It is an important but not definitive loss.”
Lapsus: “I did not play with the National Team for two years and it was difficult for me. I was with the best, with the National Team that had just won two Euro Cups and a World Cup. If they tell me a year ago that I was going to play the Euro Cup, I won't. I would have believed because I was not coming, and it was a difficult moment for me. Being able to come and help is a pride. “
Objective: “You always want to win and reach the maximum, I want to be among the best and hopefully we can achieve it now. I have that desire to be able to go through qualifiers and lose vacations. I hope we can achieve it.”
Modric: “Everyone knows Modric, a player who has been a Ballon d'Or. The best thing about Croatia is his midfield and it will be a beautiful battle. But Modric does not play alone, even if he is a spectacular player. We have to press for more time the ball. “
Penalties: “Every day we rehearse the penalties and although we have not had luck with the last ones, I hope they will give us one in favor against Croatia. The pitcher will be chosen by the coach.”
