"Good morning or good afternoon".

The time of

's appearance (3:30 p.m. in Doha) suggested that some in the room had eaten and some had not.

But beyond that, it was the way the coach had to convey to the staff that they are in a good mood.

On the day before being measured against Germany (a victory gives you a pass to the round of 16, a draw leaves it clear and a defeat can be a hell of a mess), the coach released one of those phrases for which he is being one of the characters most demanded of the World Cup, and not only by the Spanish press.

They asked him if he had felt comfortable managing the wonderful result that the team achieved against Costa Rica (7-0).

"I didn't expect to show such a powerful version. It was a pleasure and you really enjoy it when you see your team work like that. But I feel much better managing problems,

," he blurted out, and there was a laugh.

"Yes, don't laugh. I feel more comfortable when I have to build a team, when everything is against me, that's where my Gijon, Asturian vein comes out... The more they want to sink me, the more my nerve comes out. My essence, where I am really me, it is in difficulties".

, a kind of cartoon series where all the kids eat orange worms and enthusiastically toast with some soft drink, the selector is looking for his place.

"We have to find the exact point of motivation and activation," he said.

However, what he has insisted on a lot is taking the ball away from Germany.

"

They also want to press up, have the ball in the opponent's field... We want to continue being us and we are going to find a way to do it. It is a challenge against Germany. If the game is turns into a crazy game, it will be bad for us, and if they keep the ball, it will also be bad", he said.

There will be changes?

Yes, although the players still don't know until tomorrow morning.

"We have the last training session and based on what we see we will decide. We will also see which players are better in which areas of the field for the things that we imagine can happen in the game, etc...".
