Appointed Spain manager after the 2018 World Cup, Luis Enrique was criticized at the September rally for the defeat to Switzerland in the Nations League. But La Roja managed to qualify for the Final Four thanks to a success against Portugal. Something to make the coach proud, who did not hesitate to let it be known on Twitter.
Spain will play the Final Four of the League of Nations next June. Beaten by the French team in the final last season, La Roja dominated in this current edition a group made up of Portugal, Switzerland and the Czech Republic to give themselves a new chance to win the title. A pride for Luis Enrique, criticized recently.
Alvaro Morata delivered Spain on Tuesday night against Portugal with an achievement late in the game, offering qualification on the wire. Last Saturday, Luis Enrique’s men lost at home to Switzerland (2-1). After the success against Seleçao, the coach reacted on Twitter “just to put things in context”.
The regularity of Spain
In a table comparing the results of the various European nations, Luis Enrique praises the performance of his team, which also remains on a semi-final at the Euro in 2021 and a first place in its group for the qualifications for the World Cup in Qatar.
Not very active on social networks, Luis Enrique came out of his reserve to highlight the consistency of his team, the only team to be “among the best in the last four competitions”. Italy could have claimed the same record but the Nazionale failed to qualify for the next World Cup.
“The other teams have failed in at least two competitions,”
The table further underlines.
Spanish fans have been waiting for a title for more than ten years with victory at Euro 2012, the last trophy of the golden generation in the wake of Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup. In Qatar, Spain will face in its pool to Germany, Japan and Costa Rica.
