“Your Ibai set is great, it shows that you are number one. I will copy it.”

World Cup, of the four years I’ve been there I’m very proud of what I’ve done and what we’ve done with my staff Instilling a lot of confidence in young players has created enthusiasm among young people and it’s something I’ve noticed it’s time to stream. What could we have done better? Obviously. If you give 100%, I’m pretty positive about it.”
“No one from the press has spent even 10% of the time my team and I spent calling. And I say 10% is very generous.”
“From what I observed, it is clear that there were very young people on the call and people who are open to new tools. The world is evolving and I think it is a positive trend. Twtich is a vehicle to communicate as you are. She had never defended me as much as now on social networks. Greetings to all ‘Luispadriquianos’. I really like to joke and have fun”.

“I signed a four-year contract. After the European Championship they offered me to renew, but I preferred to wait until after the World Cup. They told me there would be no offer, the contract expired and I was super happy with what has been done and delighted to have coached the national team. I thought I had to make a decision, but there was no need”.
“I went through the penalty shootout with nerves, yes. I did the same as in the Eurocup. I sat on the bench watching the score. I am a restless person, but I experience these things naturally”.
“I feel we missed a really good opportunity. I see the semi-finalists and I don’t see any better than us. Now it’s Luis de la Fuente’s job, but clearly, at a football level I think we have a great lost opportunity.” chance and I’m sorry for the players. We convinced the players that there were real possibilities.”

Because of the level of the national team, you have to put two stars.” Hopefully Luis de la Fuente gets it, it would be great.”
“I wouldn’t like a France-Croatia match because it isn’t repeated. It would be a hoot if Morocco won. If you think about the possibility of Morocco winning the World Cup… that would be great.”

“At Real Madrid I got on well with García Calvo. At Barcelona I got on well with Abelardo, Puyol and Iván de la Peña”.
“I already mentioned it: in this World Cup I should have given Pablo Sarabia a lot more minutes, I was unfair to him. In training I saw him well, today I would have definitely made Sarabia the starting player of the match.”
