Luis Enrique: "I don’t know if I’m going to continue, this is not the time to talk about my future"

The technical director of the Spanish team, Luis Enrique, spoke after the elimination against Morocco by penalties in the round of 16 of Qatar 2022 World Cup and questioned its continuity in command of the European team.

The former Barcelona coach took the floor and was satisfied with what the team had done during the 120 minutes: “We dominated the game, we lacked the goal. We created situations against an opponent locked up and with a lot of defensive quality. We could have generated more situations, or been deeper. I am more than satisfied with what the team has done. They have represented the game idea of ​​the staff to the fullest. I congratulate them, and I also congratulate Morocco for qualifying.”

Likewise, the Spanish coach pointed out: “I am happy with the player profile I have and I would not change them for any other. I would go with them to the death. If there is someone responsible for something, it is me. It is evident that we have a sad feeling, due to the support of our fans that we have not been able to return with results”.

Then, Luis Enrique questioned his continuity in command of La Roja by claiming that his contract was up: “I don’t know if I’m going to continue, it’s not the time to talk about my future. There will be time, my contract is up. You already know that I am comfortable here and if it were up to me, I would continue all my life. But I have to think calmly about what is best for me and for the team. Elimination and other situations will influence.”

Finally, the DT was dissatisfied with the decisions he made and the result they had: “Penalties have an explanation. I chose the pitchers, I thought they were the best at that time. I chose the first three and then the rest, for the players to decide. Imagine the eye I have. I was wrong for Pablo Sarabia. I put it for penalties and it has generated two clear goal chances. It’s the only resentment I have left. If I were to start over, I would put it more minutes, but we are here to make decisions.”
