Spain European 2020 squads – Luis Enrique and Ramos statements
Coach Luis Enrique spoke about the squads, with a particular mention for captain Sergio Ramos, left at home against all odds. In this regard, the coach said it was a very difficult decision because the defender’s value is indisputable both on the pitch and in the locker room.
What led him to exclude him from Spain’s squad for the 2020 European Championships, and to be found in his precarious physical condition. The player, in fact, played very little this year, due to the many injuries and, for this reason, the former coach of Rome and Barcelona excluded him.
However, he said that Sergio Ramos has given a lot to the Spanish national team and can do so in the future, after getting back into shape.
The person concerned replied on Twitter, writing that he was saddened by the unfortunate season, which culminated in the exclusion from the 2020 European Championships which he was very fond of. He said that life sometimes doesn’t go the way we would like but he also declared to keep working to get back stronger than before.
Spain European 2020 Squad Up – Social Reactions
The exclusion, albeit motivated, of Sergio Ramos and other 90s from Roja , sparked various reactions on social media by Spanish fans. Many accuse Luis Enrique of having selected the worst Spain ever; this statement seems a bit risky to us because we always talk about a team with several talented players.
Probably the coach has decided to carry out a more radical generational change than expected, because he has summoned many young people who will have the help of a few veterans.
In any case, if the results prove that the coach is right, who is currently opposed by the majority of the fans, the latter would give a not indifferent show of strength to everyone. For this reason, we do, as always, talk about the pitch.
