It's a strange thing about the League of Nations. A tournament played by all European teams, such as the Eurocup, and which has brought together for five days in Italy neither more nor less than Belgium, Italy, France and Spain. However, perhaps because of the Covid restrictions, perhaps because of the date on which it is being disputed, perhaps, who knows, because the tournament is only rushing its second edition, it is difficult to have the feeling of being before a historic day.

"The first European Cup was not the bomb either, and look,"

say some veterans around the team. Will that.

Luis Enrique

, therefore, appeared this Saturday at San Siro to explain that the fact of playing against the world champion in the last match of an official tournament is important.

In fact, it is very important.

To begin with, by the rival.

"Possibly we are talking about the best team in the world at an individual level. That is why what we are going to have to do is be better than them as a team," he said, in a declaration of intentions that his players had already been using these days.

Motivation

Of course, if something is left over for this coach and this team, it is personality. Not even the most fearsome trident in the world (

Griezmann

,

Benzema

and

Mbappé

) is going to change the idea. "The potential of those at the top is indisputable. In fact they can win a game with little, but we are not going to change anything that has brought us here. It is a great stimulus and there is no greater motivation than to continue growing and playing against them. world champions, "said Luis Enrique, whose only doubt is

Ferran Torres

. On Sunday he will test in the warm-up. If it looks good, it will play. Yes No No. "I look good. Tomorrow I will decide," Ferran himself would later tell.

A victory against France would be a great accolade for his project, and someone asked him why he was so unpleasant that it can be summed up in the equally unpleasant expression of "covering mouths".

"I am only concerned with preparing the game well and trying to win with our weapons. The rest is a show. Winning would be phenomenal, a great reinforcement, and also we would surely make our fans happy."

Is Spain really not going to change anything?

Really.

"

We are going to try to have the ball, because there is only one and if we have it, they do not have it

. And then we are going to defend as always, taking risks, trying to recover the ball high up," the Asturian closed.
