    The long embrace of Barcelona to the selection.

Luis Enrique

began the press conference after the match talking about football, that he had not liked the first part at all, but that he liked the second a lot, and that in the first there were many mistakes and in the second there weren't, etc... But the news was not this Saturday in the development of the game, but in what happened in the stands.

The cries of

"Catalonia is Spain!", of "I am Spanish, Spanish, Spanish!"

, etc... conferred an air of vindication on the part of that sector of Catalan society that has not always had the visibility that it probably deserves.

In fact, it was the coach himself who first put the focus there.

"I would have been very upset not to win this game, but not for me, not for the team, not for the players, but for the people. I don't remember a game in which the fans have been so decisive, it is a great pleasure to come to play here.

It is impossible for us to take 18 years to return here, it would be a big mistake

, "he said of his own accord, without anyone having asked him about it, in a speech that has emanated directly from the Federation's communication department during this week .

The fans even chanted the name of the coach, something not very common.

"Of course I prefer to be applauded than to be insulted, but I would prefer that they spend their energy on the players," explained the Spaniard.

"I repeat, I would have been very annoyed not to win this game because it was an unforgettable night. I said 'gosh, these people deserve a joy'. Barcelona likes the national team and we like to come".

He said he had no doubt that the night would be a success.

"I have lived here for many years, and I have always felt the respect and affection of all Catalans. This is a land of good.

If there is something in Catalonia, it is that everyone is respected and I am delighted to be here

", Closed the issue that marked this March 26, 2022, the day that the Spanish national team returned to play in Catalonia after 18 years of absence.

To finish, he again praised the second part of the boys.
