Spain legend, Cesc Fabregas has come out to back the country to do well in Euro 2020. He recently revealed that he expects the current players will ignore critics and shine like old Spanish teams.
According to him, Spaniards should focus on supporting their team, and the constant complaining before major tournaments have to stop once and for all.
He added that Spain is known for thriving by giving youngsters chance, and that is what Luis Enrique has been doing with his squad.
His words, “We should be here to support them,”
“I don’t like it when we are complaining before the tournament starts about the squad.”
“I had it in 2008 when I was 21, I think. There was Silva and Iniesta coming through, and everyone was doubting us a bit because Raul, [Michel] Salgado, [Santiago] Canizares and [David] Albelda weren’t called up.”
“All those players were cast aside to make space for us young players. We ended up winning the tournament and I don’t think I need to repeat what happened after.”
“It is about giving opportunities and that’s what Luis Enrique has done.”
“It will not be easy for Spain, but no competition at the top, top level is simple. They just have to compete. It is a young team but they have proven that they can play well in qualification.”
“Luis Enrique was a player and is a coach with a lot of personality, good ideas and he will not want to make things difficult for himself. He wants to do his best and we need to support him and go along with it.”
“We will be behind the team and I hope we can do well.”
