The camera, "sadder than dancing with your own sister," said Spain team coach Luis Enrique when he appeared on a Spanish online program on Wednesday.

"(Playing without audience) is sadder than dancing with your own sister. It is not beautiful. I have watched German football, and it is lamentable. We hear the insults, we lose the intimacy of good times ... ", said Luis Enrique this Wednesday evening during his visit to the Spanish program Colgados del aro (" The Perches of the Basket ", in Spanish), broadcast on YouTube.

"But you also have to understand that this is a business that generates a lot of money, and that, even if the show is far from being up to par when it is presented with people (in the stands), it can help overcome confinement. To start again to see football or basketball, it is interesting ", however made a point of recalling the Spanish coach, returned to his station in November 2019 in place of the current technician of Monaco, Roberto Moreno .

"(As a player), I would have liked to come back to play as soon as possible. I have no fear. I was a little afraid for the elderly people whom I appreciate and who may suffer from this disease. But on a personal level, I have zero fear, "said the technician.

The coach said that for him, confinement passed quickly: "Before confinement, I had shingles for two weeks, and I remained weak. Now, I feel good. I had some physical discomfort because of the inactivity, but luckily I can go to the garden and I have a home trainer. I created routines for myself, and the days passed quickly. I am learning English and watching games of the selection to draw conclusions, "slipped the technician.

Regarding the Euro football moved to the summer of 2021, Luis Enrique said that "everything is on hold": "Uncertainty penalizes us all, it scares us. We are advancing day by day. We are waiting for all activities come back, football, because we do what we like the most, and then we’ll start again with friendly matches. In theory, the selection should play friendly matches in September, as always (Nations League matches against Germany and Ukraine, in reality). But the main thing is elsewhere now, so be patient. "
