A day after Luis Enrique's hard attack, Robert Moreno appears before the media at the Claris Hotel in Barcelona to give his version of the controversial situation between them in an appearance without questions.

"It is a very unpleasant moment. I am not going to hold a press conference because I do not want to reproach and if there were any questions there would be them. Yesterday I was personally attacked and I was labeled with something that I am not . In this puzzle my pieces are missing. And I will describe the facts:

In the nine years that I have been with Luis Enrique I have learned a lot. I want to thank the players who have thanked me for the months that have passed with me and the support of the people these unpleasant days.

These are the facts: since the age of 14 I have been training the best professionals since I was 4 years old. For nine years I was Luis Enrique: first in Barcelona B, then Rome, we stood for a year and we waited for an opportunity with him. Then came Celta, and the great opportunity of the great: Barcelona. And when he decided he didn't want to train again, everyone on the staff is still faithful and we wait for him to decide to train again.

So we went with Juan Carlos to Celta, all with his permission. And then the selection appeared.

On June 19, after the irrevocable resignation of Luis Enrique, the president of the federation met the staff and me to sign a contract until after the European Championship. Before signing we ask permission. It was my turn to step forward. And it does not escape anyone that if I had not followed he would not have returned. There would be another coach.

Before September 12 there was another meeting in which he told me that he had done what he had to do. Then there were both games. And on the 12th I asked for the meeting and told him what I thought. He told me he had everyone but me. I froze and told the staff and we were all surprised because he didn't want to count on me anymore. We thought of calling him, but we didn't.

After Cádiz's game, it is when I sense that I will not continue. There I intuit that he wants to return to the selection and yet, as the president said, I was faithful and told them that I present my resignation

To this day I don't know why Luis Enrique doesn't want me to be with him. He labeled me with two very ugly things, which I am not.

I am the first to be glad that Luis Enrique wants to return to train with this staff.

From now on I continue with my first coach career. and I really want to go back to the pitch. "

The one who was Spanish coach until last Monday, when he led the last qualifying match of Spain with a win over Romania (5-0), had remained in the background with the return of the Spaniard. He said goodbye to a conciliator communicated on Wednesday the 20th, in which he wished the best to Luis Enrique "because his joys will be ours."

And a day later, before the cameras of 'Mediaset', 'Four' and 'Goal', he assured that "the best thing for both parties is that it is between us".
