Spanish national team failed to win this year’s EURO, as they were stopped by the eventual winners Italy, after a penalty shootout. A consolidation prize called UEFA Nations League Final Four is on the way on Wednesday, when the two teams will have a rematch in the semi-finals, while France and Belgium will be the other pair on Thursday. And Luis Enrique’s little ‘war’, or shall we call it ‘argument of words’ with the Spanish press is continuing ahead of this match.Azzurri’s quest for total dominance or consolation prize for Mbappe and LukakuThe Spanish journalists had a number of remarks during their team’s performance in EURO competition, while the public back home was also critical of their national team’s coach, as well as his tactics. For this tournament, he went out and gave them more material, because he didn’t invite any ‘classic’ number 9 striker for the team, but will play without a traditional striker.Yes, I’m quite big, but that’s not my biggest strength, Lukaku points outAnd once again, the Spaniard was rude to the journalists, when asked why he doesn’t read the press.”I don’t read you because I think I know more about football than most and because I have more information than you do. There isn’t an opinion that I can read that might interest me. I have no news of the critics because I do not read, I do not listen to you… So for me it is the same list as always. It generates the same for me. I trust what I bring” he said to the journalists in the San Siro press room.Generally, very confident statement from a guy who failed to qualify for any European competition with Roma, and finished ninth with Celta Vigo. Winning everything with Barcelona was not so hard, since he had Messi, Neymar and Suarez in the attack. But still, Enrique is very confident in his knowledge and tactics.(2.35) ITALY (3.15) SPAIN (3.50)“It’s that we reach the goal in a global way, not just arriving with one player. We are going to try to get the ball, get to the chances … It is a very stimulating game, with little to lose and a lot to gain. I don’t like fear or worry … We as coaches fear nothing, but we need to fight against Italy when they have the ball, because they play very well. Our idea is to play the whole game with it. way” explained Enrique.
