And when that is not possible, the next best thing is to have all the people from this team and employees with you. These are moments." Emotional, and it helped us grow and become closer as one team.”

He added: “The England national team is an excellent team, and regardless of the results or performance so far in the European Championship, I knew That England is a very good team, a very good team and that sooner or later they will win.”

He explained: “I think that is because of the exceptional level of their players so there is no feeling of satisfaction Either self-confidence or overconfidence on our part. In fact, I think that facing England is a completely different match than any match we have played.”

He stressed: “England is a completely different opponent.” France or Germany, but with a superior level of players who have won big titles across Europe and played for big clubs. We need to continue to grow stronger. Whoever manages the finer margins, and makes fewer mistakes, will be much closer to winning.”

He continued: “I will tell the players that they need to play well.” Better than they did in reaching the final. We need to be us - but better yet, I'll ask them to enjoy themselves, and I'll tell them I'm proud of them, regardless of the end result.”

He concluded. “Tomorrow, Javi will be with us. He will come to stay with us all day and will be player number 27.”
