Already returned to Spain after the elimination of his team in the round of 16, Luis Enrique took a short tour of the studio of the famous streamer Ibai Llanos on Monday evening to talk about the course of his failure at the head of La Roja in this Cup of the world. The now ex-coach has half-acknowledged a few errors, especially in the choice of one or two players from his list, but for the rest he continues to think that his approach was the right one, as we can read on the transcription that has been made brand.
“I feel like we missed a very good opportunity. When I look at the semi-finalists, I don’t see anyone better than us, ”he said in particular during this conversation which brought together up to 50,000 people at times. And too bad if his team was hopelessly harmless for 120 minutes against Morocco with a stereotypical passing game.
“May Argentina win, for Messi”
“We have always had this discourse in the national team, that we do not score enough. But I think we showed that we know how to score, he added, probably referring to the 7-0 against Costa Rica. If you tell me that Haaland is Spanish or that we can nationalize Agüero, then surely I would be seen differently. »
For the rest of the competition, Luis Enrique indicated that he did not want the same final as in 2018 (France-Croatia), and that he had a small preference for Argentina. “I would like Argentina to win the World Cup, for Lionel Messi. He deserves it, for what it means to him and for everything he has given to football, ”said the coach, who had the Argentine under his command at Barça.
From now on, he expects to have to live the end of the season as an observer, before hoping to find a bench next summer. He assured that he had not received an offer from Atlético de Madrid, where his name has returned in recent days. “They already have to want me and make me an offer. Without an offer, I can’t decide anything and I haven’t received anything yet,” he commented.
