Luis Enrique, as he does every day when the Spanish national team is not playing a match at the World Cup in Qatar, was live from the team's training camp to chat for a while with his fans. This live was especially interesting because it took place just one day before the match in which 'La Roja' will face Germany.

Luis Enrique has become a successful streamer at the World Cup in Qatar. The Spain coach is engaging with fans like never before, eager to know what the coach has to say on a number of issues. The first six meetings provided plenty of amusing headlines and the seventh was no exception, less so a day before the match against Germany.

"We're going into the game against Germany with the same idea as always, to defend away from our own goal and, well, make life difficult for Germany. We have a good record against them, even though it's been two years, but the plan  is to repeat our performance and guarantee our qualification," the coach began by explaining. He then went on to comment on the day's training session.

So, the coach confirmed that he will not do live on the day of the match against the Germans. "I want to compete and the hours go by very slowly. The training was not physically demanding, but very nice to see because you can see how prepared the player is for the match. We started with the rondo in midfield with three players and the others tried to take 20 touches and we finished with crosses and shots", he said.

"A draw is not enough: we want to secure qualification. We'll use the morning to do sport and work with the videos, which have all been made, and after the talk, we'll have lunch, the players will have a nap; I'll have a nap too, whenever I can, and after that, after the afternoon snack, I'll give the talk two and a half hours before the match. It's a tactical one," continued the coach.
