In the preview of the game against Germany (Tuesday, 8:45 pm / TVE), Luis Enrique made it clear that the style of the team will not change despite being measured against a team like the German. He revealed that obviously “there will be nuances” but that the team will go for victory because it is what they need.
“We are not going to change our idea of the game. We are going to go out to press up, to try to come out from behind playing with the ball and try to pressure after loss, that will not change. There will be nuances, but the fact that only victory will serve us will make us go out without speculating and for all ”.
Ansu and his non-debut with Germany
On the rival, in addition, Luis Enrique He acknowledged that the Germans “are one of the best teams in Europe and the world and that they have great players” although, despite this, they will not “shoot” the most veteran in the starting eleven.
“I believe that all footballers are ready to face a game of these characteristics. The newest ones are already integrated into the dynamics and I think everyone is trained. It is true that in the first round match, in Germany, we preferred not to make his debut Ansu because maybe it was a stupid game in which they put us four and we lost a player with confidence but now it's different ”.
The commotion that Sergio Ramos forms
Another of the proper names that appeared at the press conference of Luis Enrique it was the captain's Sergio Ramos of the one who “does not have to advise anything because he already knows what to do thanks to all the experience he has.”
The Sevillian, who has the whole issue of his renewal with Real Madrid and the last two penalties missed against Switzerland behind him, did not come out to speak at a press conference, something that Luis Enrique did not want to enter to assess because “Sergio is one of the he has the ability to accept all the criticism. I don't know if he's the best penalty taker in the world, but when he failed on Saturday I did what every coach would have done, defend his player. I also believe that his record supports him completely and little more can be said, I see him with the same desire as always and all this does not change anything. It is normal in a team of this level and with a player who generates as much as Sergio is ”, he commented.
Doubts in the goal
By last, Luis Enrique analyzed the issue of the goal after the two consecutive starts of Unai
Simon and confessed that he has decided who will play against Germany. “The players won't know until an hour and a half before the game because I work like that. I think I have four goalkeepers (if we count Pau) who have the level to be starters and I base myself on how they work to choose one each time. I don't believe in these decisions that there has to be only one goalkeeper ”, the coach concluded.
