The coach of Spain, Luis Enrique, had an unusual request from his players.
Before Tuesday’s match against Morocco in the round of 16, he said that he asked his players to shoot 1,000 penalties before the match.
“I warned them, they had to come with at least 1000 shots from the white point in their clubs. It is certain that there will be matches with direct elimination in which we will pass after the performances.”
“Penalties are not a lottery, although they have great tension, however, you have to calm your nerves and withstand the pressure that that moment brings. But one thing is certain, you will kick the ball better if you have practiced before. “That moment defines the players, that’s why I asked for it from my national team players,” said Enrique.
The match between Morocco and Spain will be played on Tuesday from 16:00.
