Prior to this, on the 30th, Enrique attended the official press conference in Doha the day before the match, saying, "If we are going to play seven games including the final tournament to win the championship, we must be the first in the first league." said.
After that, "If you break through the first league in the lead, you may face Brazil in the quarterfinals, but it doesn't matter who the opponent is. To win the World Cup, you have to beat all opponents. That's our goal. I said enthusiastically.
On his impression of Japan, he said, “They are very dynamic and fast, and they don’t give us time to think or play the way we want. There are a lot of high-level players, and the players changed a lot between the first and second games. I think it will be a difficult match,” he said with caution.
On the other hand, goalkeeper Unai Simon said, "Japan is preparing well so that the whole team can play well and the coach and the players share the same strategy. Just like the Tokyo Olympics, which went into extra time, the final goal was to play well. I think it will be a tough match until the end of the game," he said.
