If the world had not stopped, Spain and Germany would have played a friendly this week in the Metropolitano. Instead that duel will have to be played on Monday at FIFA and Luis Enrique , back at the head of the team, gives press conferences on YouTube.

In the last video with fans, the Asturian confirmed his good relationship with Sergio Ramos , who highlighted his leadership in the dressing room, and did not rule out a future return to Barcelona. "I've left the door open for all the clubs I've been to."

"Who knows what will happen to me in the future, but I think I have left the door open in all the clubs I have been to and I do not rule out going back to lead another project," he explained. Luis Enrique made it extendible to all the teams he has trained, although he confessed to feeling "a very special relationship with Barça".

However, the Asturian coach reiterated his commitment to the Spanish team until at least 2022. "I have signed a contract with the Federation to stay until after the World Cup and that is my goal. I hope I deserve that confidence and can fulfill it," he said.

On that route, the first stop will be the Euro Cup, where he places Spain as "one of the six or seven applicants". "Our expectations are the highest. The two Euro Cups and the World Cup placed us as a benchmark for football. It is true that in the last two tournaments we have not lived up to it, but that does not mean that we are not one of the aspirants," he explained. .

Luis Enrique, who returned to the national team bench last November, stressed that the postponement of the Euro Cup can play in favor of the youngest. "They will have more time to tan and we will have more games to prepare."

One of those futures is Ferrán Torres , who this season was emerging at Valencia, although the coach denied that he was the one he was referring to in the famous Super Cup video. "He was another player of his position."

"Ramos surprised me with his leadership"

Luis Enrique stressed his good relationship with Sergio Ramos. "Before, I only knew him from references and from facing him, but when I had the opportunity to meet him in the national team, I was pleasantly surprised, although I already knew that he was a special and different player. He has a record for internationalities for something. I was surprised not just his athletic performance, but his ability as a leader in a locker room and as a person. "

The Spanish coach also spoke of his departure from the Barça club. "As a player I left because I thought I didn't have much more to offer. And as a coach the same circumstance was a bit. At this level, the player-coach relationship is very intense and, in addition to my own physical and personal exhaustion, I seriously thought they needed someone who could bring them more, "he explained.

And of that, of what to contribute, he spoke to explain how it was to train Leo Messi . "I cannot tell Messi how he has to haggle, how he has to pass or how he has to shoot because he is an artist. But everything about systems or game situations, things on a global level, of course he is told. How do we have to press, where do we have to carry the ball, where does he have to be positioned in order to receive more ... In all of this we do try to influence. "
