17.20 hours. Isn’t Spain better off playing against big teams? “I am telling you about this particular Euro and I think we deserved more. You cannot win 3-0 every game. All opponents are difficult to play and it is also valid for that.”
17.19 hours. Does not play against France take the pressure off you? “I don’t know. Maybe maybe not, I haven’t tried it. We are very excited about this game and that’s what matters.”
17.18 hours. Defensive problems “If you score five goals you also pass. The important thing is to win and that is what we have done”

17.08 hours. Unai Simn. “You don’t have to be martyred. The mistake doesn’t matter, it matters what you do after the mistake. You have to do the reflection after the game. The problem is the error of concept, not of execution. Nadal says that you have to have the memory of a fish and He’s right.

17.07 hours. Is this Switzerland better than November? “He also spoke very well of Ukraine and look where they are. Petkovic is a great coach, he has 70 games, and is a team that opts for everything, very difficult to beat, like us”

We are among the best teams in defense, I complained about what we did with the ball in those last minutes. ”
17.03 hours. More difficult to motivate against Switzerland. “Switzerland has passed and the good thing or the bad thing is that the two teams know each other well. It will be a very complicated game. As a block it is one of the best teams in the Euro, because of how they press and attack. It will be very complicated The same for the fan they don’t have many names, but … “
