Switzerland: “I expect a Switzerland similar to that of Madrid. It is a selection that does not speculate, that presses and that is very complete. It is one of the best-worked teams in Europe.”
Pau Torres: “Pressing in the opposite field is to recover the ball closer to his area. My ideal as a coach would be to have the ball in the opposite field the whole game. Pau Torres can improve in all aspects, but he is a central selection and that he's doing spectacular. But he, like any other player, can improve. I like his tactical sense, his work on the brand and on pressure. He's tall, handsome, a good kid … I like everything about Pau. “
False nine: “I like to play according to what suits us best. I have played with a false nine and I like it, but I don't close myself to playing with any system.”
4-3-3: We play with that starting system, but during the game we change depending on the spaces that are being occupied. It is a good starting system, but then during the game with many variations.
The rival: “I see what they do on the pitch and they don't have a failure. They push, they change things at half-time. In the last World Cup they came higher than Spain. They tied with Germany and it took us an egg to win them. If we look only at the results can. But I see more things. Switzerland is a great team. “
Spain: “My goal as a coach is to climb the FIFA rankings because what the fans want is for Spain to be in a position to win titles. We will have to be judged in major competitions, I will be the first.”
