The Spanish coach, Luis Enrique, was self-critical in the press room after the elimination of 'la Roja' in the round of 16 against Morocco. The Asturian coach praised the work of his opponent and highlighted the performance of Ounahi during the 90 minutes.
It was a tough pill to swallow for the Spanish national side and the fans. The team coached by Luis Enrique fell in the round of 16 to a Morocco team that developed a great plan.
The Asturian coach himself was in charge of praising the work of his rival in the press room. However, Luis Enrique singled out one player in particular: Azzedine Ounahi.
The number eight did not stop running and stopping any dangerous action on the part of the Spanish team. A workout that left the Spain coach speechless: "I was pleasantly surprised by the number '8', I can't remember the name, I'm sorry... Where did that boy come from? He plays very well".
"Achraf and Ziyech are obvious, we know En-Nesyri well, we know Amrabat as well.... But this boy hasn't stopped running. We've talked about it in the staff. Spectacular", concluded Luis Enrique in a clear praise for his physical condition.
