As soon as he sat down in front of the press at the Fadil Vokrri stadium in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo,

Luis Enrique

was faced with the question that this displacement of the team to a country not recognized by the Spanish Government flies over. In this case, the question came from a Kosovar journalist, who asked the coach about the "atmosphere" they had encountered on their arrival in the country. "

It is a perfect atmosphere, the people are wonderful and we have not had any problems

. We are talking about a political issue, but we have come to play a football game, to enjoy football," said the Asturian, who was taking the lesson very well learned. I expected the question. And he knew the answer.

The coach removed the only uncomfortable thing that Spain is supposed to have on Wednesday night. Or not, because according to Luis Enrique, the one from Kosovo "

is one of the most difficult games that we have left in the group

." "I hope I'm wrong," he specified later, and explained: "When a team does not lock themselves back, when they are brave and daring, and they do not make mistakes because they know what they are doing, or you are very fine in the exit of the ball or they steal you very close to your area, and that is a problem. If you get out of their first pressure, you find yourself interesting situations, but if they rob you, and some of them are going to rob us because they do it, we will have problems ".

He affirmed that he will not be aware of what Sweden does in the Athens Olympics against Greece, no matter how much the team needs a Swedish stumbling block like eating.

"We control what we can control. It is difficult to win games, and it will be even more so when the end of the group approaches. It is not the same to play without pressure than with the pressure of having to win yes or yes. We will see," he said.

Jordi Alba

will be a doubt until the last minute and C

arlos Soler

aims to start judging by the words of a coach who, nevertheless, will make several changes in the eleven.

After 28 games in front, it will not be this Wednesday when he repeats the lineup for the first time.
