Spain coach comments on his team's preparations for the UEFA Nations League semi-finals.

The first semifinal match in the UEFA Nations League between the national teams of Spain and Italy will be played very soon.. Then the top in the penalty shootout was won by Roberto Mancini's team (1: 1, 4: 2 - pen.

A few days before the upcoming game in Milan, the head coach of Fury Roja Luis Enrique spoke about the mood of his team before the responsible duel.

" The League of Nations is a tournament that the Spanish national team would like to win, and here also the interest will be fueled by the match against the newly-made European champions directly in their country.

I am looking forward to this game as I want to see what my team is capable of at the moment.. I think that it would be quite difficult to get even more motivation from any other game..

For me, the most important thing is the team's offensive play.. When we sit down to analyze the play of opponents, we first of all look at what they have to offer in attack.. Every footballer that I call even to the line of midfielders has high attacking skills.

Spain must have good ball technique because we prepare our chances for a long time and thoroughly before trying to deliver passes to our forwards.. Also, we pay special attention to pressing when losing the ball..

In general, I can say with confidence that we strive to play in the same style against any opponent, regardless of his level and the current state of affairs on the scoreboard during the game..

This is a style that I love since my days as a coach in Barcelona B. I have no doubt about his suitability for the Spanish national team, because this is how they came to their most significant successes.. It is not always possible to realize what was conceived, this is true, however, matches in football that are identical in the scenario also do not exist, "

Note that the match between Italy and Spain will take place on October 6, beginning at 21:45 Kiev time.
