Luis Enrique learns in a press conference that Spain have been virtually eliminated: ‘I would have had a heart attack’

Spain came within a whisker of the exit on Thursday, being virtually eliminated for a few minutes. At a press conference, the coach of La Roja explained that he was not aware of what happened.

“Eliminated for 3 minutes? Why? No, I wasn’t suspended from the other game, I’m only focused on mine. We were eliminated at some point?”first replied the former Barça coach to a journalist.

“Ah, Costa Rica led 2-1? Fantastic. I didn’t know that, it never crossed my mind because my speech is sincere: I didn’t come here to speculate. I’m not happy that the Japan has won because I want my team to perform at their best and win every game. That’s how we grow up. We were eliminated 3 minutes? Imagine, I would have had a heart attack.”has explained Enrique afterwards. Like what, the coach was indeed focused on his meeting and not on what was happening between Costa Rica and Germany.
