How Luis Enrique got Spain to the semis.
Spains coach Luis Enrique has coped with individual disaster and the effect of negative popular opinion to rally his young team and lead them to the semi-finals.
He sustained the rage of many fans and big sections of the Spanish media for leaving Sergio Ramos out of his squad and selecting no players from Real Madrid.
The coach turned more heads by only picking a 24-man squad rather of 26 and for encouraging French-born defender Aymeric Laporte to change citizenships and lead the teams defence instead of Ramos.
He then kept Sergio Busquets in the team after the midfielder tested favorable for COVID-19, revealing a sense of perseverance he did not afford Ramos, who had missed out on much of the last season through injury.
Radio Marca explained Luis Enrique as “pigheaded”, including Spain were “not cut out to win this Euros and we all understand it”.
