"Gentlemen, let's stop talking: the time has come." Thus begins the moving video released by the Spanish Football Federation, in the voice of Luis Enrique. "Let's stop the colors, the teams, this is the national team, the best play here and we will be", continues the Asturian coach.

Luis Enrique's harangue, in the manner of that of any coach in the privacy of the locker room, includes a moving list of the groups that these days are fighting in Spain against the Covid-19. "Health, police, military, fire, stockers, ATMs, cleaning services, pharmacists, transporters or whoever, to help us all, has stopped what he was doing."

"There are people out there who are giving their all, people who fight, who fight, and they do it until they give their last breath. They do it against a difficult, unknown, uncertain rival, and that is what makes them great, the courage of face it, "adds the former coach of Roma and Barça, without forgetting the most vulnerable. "Surely our elders, if they could, would face each other; other times they have already done so, without asking for anything in return. They have been a generation of heroes because they gave us everything. We are in debt. This time we must do it for them."

For all these reasons, Luis Enrique reiterates a message of unity in these difficult times. "We have been days, weeks, fighting against this rival who has taken many of our own. So no, this is not the time to surrender, Spain does not know how to do that. Everyone, personally or professionally, ever played the one that will be the party of our lives ".
