“To beat Spain you have to run a lot and play very well”

Luis Enrique appeared after the brilliant and suffered victory against Croatia (3-5) and the pass to the quarterfinals of the Euro. The coach appeared smiling and euphoric after getting the ticket to the new round of the tournament. These are your impressions.

Your most intense and exciting match?

So far it is the best match of the Eurocup. The two hobbies have risen to applaud. It was an epic match, but I keep the team's ability to rebuild and overcome difficulties.

What scare the failure of Unai, right?

Soccer is a game of mistakes. Unai has rebuilt himself and has taught everyone a lesson with his attitude after the mistake. I'm happy for him and it's a good lesson for all his teammates. I spoke to him at break.

What needs to be corrected?

It is true that our biggest mistake has been to think that we had it done with 3-1. We are not to get behind. But football has rewarded us, and we have been able to defend the last ten minutes of extra time with the ball. We are very grateful to the support of the people, and it has been a pleasure to see red jerseys in the stands. It has been a regrettable year socially and if they get along.

Spain has become the top scorer of the tournament, for now …

The reflection on the goal is the same as always. The goal is distributed. Morata has shown that there are few capable of doing what he has done, with his defensive work, offense, physical waste … he has done everything. He has a commendable attitude and on top of that he has had the reward of the goal.

What do you get from the game?

We have been superior to Croatia from the beginning, but we conceded the goal after missing two clear ones, one from Koke and the other from Morata. But the team has fought, they have believed and the game leaves us many positive things. This National Team has a goal and plays football well. Whoever wants to beat us is going to have to run a lot and play very well.

Could the goal be a Morata reset? Can another Morata be seen from now on?

I don't want to see another Álvaro, this is the Álvaro that amazes me, he has a lot of personality, he endures situations that none of you would like to endure. I have seen a commendable attitude. Very happy for him.

Happy with the changes?

Oyarzabal has been spectacular and has been decisive. The truth is that anyone who comes out does it well, and that is very good for the National Team. There is time to recover. What comes in the quarterfinals will be welcome and football will put us in our place.
