National coach Luis Enrique spoke to the media to give an update on Spain’s squad for the first four Nations League matches.
Madrid’s season is exceptional. It could be even more so if they win the Champions League final against Liverpool. Champions of the Spanish Super Cup and La Liga, the Copa del Rey has been the only stain of the season for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. And they still have the possibility of winning a new title, even if they will have to face another strong opponent this Saturday, the “Reds”. But Luis Enrique believes that in all fairness Los Blancos deserve the title.
“No answer I give is going to please everyone, so I’d rather not get involved. But, as I like to be fair, if anyone deserves to win this Champions League, it’s Real Madrid. “, said the coach when asked which side he will be on on May 28.
Luis Enrique also reacted to the Supercopa files and to the information revealed on Luis Rubiales: “It is impossible to live apart from the public bashing of the president. I trust him. I work here, I know the president and his way of acting. It is an irrefutable fact and his management is spectacular. From there, there are interests that escape me and it is such an exaggerated public bashing that it does not make any sense ” , he explained.
In relation to these audios, he also assessed the case of Gerard Piqué, who asked Rubiales to help him play the Olympics: “Piqué is Spanish? Does he want to come to the national team? He is Spanish and is playing at the highest level, so I’m all ears,” he said. “The same way Thiago is coming back now, the door is open for any player,” explained the coach.
