Luis Enrique He has experienced one of the roundest concentrations since he was a coach. The spectacular atmosphere that Cornellá wore accompanied the one lived this Tuesday in Riazor in the win against Iceland. To make matters worse, the name of the Asturian coach was chanted by the stands. And they have achieved two victories, which also matters, no matter how much they were two friendlies. “It is a satisfaction to see how people have enjoyed it, to see this communion is very nice”, said Luis Enrique shortly after appearing in the press room of the sports stadium, and before beginning to break down the hot spots that surround the team, starting with the list for worldwhere he anticipates that there will be a tough fight to gain a foothold among the 23.

“The list will be tough, but it’s my job. There are forty or fifty who can come and some are rotating. The normal thing is that in the final list are those who are coming. There could be some surprise, because there is still time. But the important thing is that whoever comes adds up.”

Once again, Luis Enrique praised the work of Álvaro Morata, who after not shining against Albania He knew how to make up for it with a brace that unblocked the match against Iceland. According to the coach, the goals from the man from Madrid are circumstantial: “I don’t demand goals from the strikers, what I do is ask them to work up and down. Morata goes out of his way in every game, and that’s the important thing. The goal is a collective merit, not an individual responsibility. We may be missing a 30-goal striker, but we don’t need one.”

He was also full of praise before Daniel Olmo, one of the most prominent against the Nordics, always facing down the left side and causing the penalty that gave the second goal: “I would be a starter for any team in the world. He is a top player, differential. He gives us quality and work ».

“We breathe hope to improve, I see that spirit in the players and the future promises because it is hopeful,” summed up the coach about the future he sees in his team. “Now in June superior rivals will come who will put us to the test.”

«We are trained to give war to any selection. Spain is going to be competitive. Then the small details will decide, but we will face the World Cup with maximum enthusiasm », he concluded.
