Luis Enrique and ibai on the stream
Luis Enrique said that the Spanish team had everything it needed to rank high at the championship in Qatar. However, the team had difficulties in the game against Japan, just as in the match against Morocco, when the main star was the goalkeeper of the opponents, Yassine Bounou (Bono).
Luis Enrique:
«In the previous one we looked at the sanctions and adulterated the data, why Bono had an 80% chance of guessing the sides. It’s spectacular. But he had a low save percentage. We ignored the data, but warned players that it moved around a lot. He’s a specialist, a top-level goalkeeper, not only on penalties, but also in the match, he is always attentive».
According to Enrique, he takes full responsibility for the team's low result at the tournament in Qatar, but takes it as a good life experience. Commenting on the mistakes made, the former national coach said that he should have given more playing time to 30-year-old striker Pablo Sarabia. The PSG FC striker played a total of just two minutes at the tournament, appearing as a substitute in the extra time against Morocco. Sarabia was first in the penalty shoot-out, but failed to score a goal against Bono.
Speaking about the tournament favorites, Enrique said that he wished victory for Argentina and for Leo Messi in particular, an appreciation for what he has contributed to football. Enrique also spoke about the Spanish players who impressed him the most. The former coach especially noted the 20-year-old midfielder Pedri from Barcelona FC.
Luis Enrique:
«For me he’s Harry Potter, he’s a different player, how he shapes himself, how he controls the ball, his physique. He’s the closest thing to Andrés Iniesta».
