Reactions Spain breaks down in defense: "We have no margin for error"
Opinion The selection goes from the foam of the Eurocup to the defensive foam
Every time his team fails at something,
Luis Enrique
turns around, looks at the bench, looks for someone, usually his second,
Jesús Casas
, and says something to him. Yesterday was the game in which the Asturian coach turned the most times,
unhinged with his centrals
every time they failed to deliver, with his midfielders every time they did not make a change of orientation and with his forwards every time they chose badly. . As he is fit, he bends over and gets up another dozen times, and out of sheer anger, his ankles didn't get cold. Because yes, Luis Enrique wears pants like kids.
It was a
terrible game for his team
, but in the press room, he also had to analyze the game ... in English. And of course, it is not the same. In any case, there were a couple of questions and then, yes, it could be explained in Spanish. "
Regarding attitude, no reproach
. I need to see him to know exactly where we have failed, but in a first analysis, we have lost many duels, we have allowed this rival to run and despite the fact that we have generated enough chances not to have lost", He began by saying, and pointed
to Isak's goal
, a few seconds after taking the lead, as the key. "That is the cruelty of the game, because it has made us doubt," he said.
Duels were the keyword. "
We have lost many duels,
" he said over and over again, "and we have allowed their transitions," he insisted before launching certainly contradictory messages. On the one hand, at one point in his responses, he acknowledged: "It's difficult to be optimistic", but on the other, he said: "It's not a bad game,
I don't think we deserve to lose
. I would be worried if I had seen my team without ambition, or losing the illusion, but it has not been like that ".
In any case, what is evident is that
Spain needs Sweden to leave some point
in the games that remain, and the most favorable, it seems, is the visit of the Nordics to Greece next Wednesday.
"
We are in the wire
, that is clear, but hey, we are going to hope that they fail and we win everything that we have left."
Much more could not say the coach whose team is a Russian roulette.
It can go well, like in the Eurocup, or it can go bad, like against Sweden.
