Sergio Ramos missed two penalty kicks during the match of the Selection this saturday before Switzerland, Y Luis EnriqueAt a press conference, he came out in defense of the captain being categorical. “I think their numbers shooting penalties are only available to the chosen ones. It would be very unfair to assess why he has shot one, two or three. Furthermore, if there had been a third penalty, he would have taken it. And if there had been a fourth, even if the third had failed, he would have thrown it too. You cannot get on the car when you score 25 in a row and when you miss two, criticize it. It would be a joke, “explained the coach.
Putting the penalty issue aside, Luis Enrique regretted the lack of success in the face of the rival goal. “Soccer is like that. It is wonderful but many times it does not do justice. We conceded a goal on their only occasion and I think they had some luck. We have lacked the most difficult, marking. In the first half we deserve to win and in the second as well ”, the coach valued.
He also ruled on the alignment and the circumstance of having conformed the attack with Ferran, Dani Olmo and Oyarzabal, without a '9' to use. “The easy thing after the game is to say that they had to play Morata or Gerard. We have understood that today the figure of 9 in the first part was not going to be so necessary, “he said.
Regarding the fact of having bet on Unai Simon to defend the goal, he was restrictive. “I have always said that I am happy with the three goalkeepers that I have and I refer to the facts. Unai it has been very good, “he said.
Finally, he spoke about the duel next Tuesday in which Spain receive to Germany in The Cartuja aware that he needs to win to qualify for the 'Final Four' of the Nations League. “We depend on us on the last day. Against Germany I already have the plan, you have to see how the players recover and you have to take it into account. We can only win, as if we were in the quarterfinals of the European, “he concluded.
