Luis Enrique had no ‘plan B’ and Spain suffered a untimely World Cup exit as a consequence, in line with Iago Aspas.
Veteran striker Aspas missed out on the squad for Qatar 2022 however has been recalled by Luis Enrique’s successor, Luis de la Fuente, for Euro 2024 qualifiers in opposition to Norway and Scotland.
The 35-year-old Celta Vigo participant was powerless to forestall Spain dropping to Morocco on penalties after a goalless stalemate on the last-16 stage of the World Cup.
“I was wishing Spain to score,” Aspas stated on Thursday, wanting again at that sport.
“With Luis Enrique we had a very defined game style. For me, who in future could become a coach, we did not have plan B, and when plan A was stuck there wasn’t plan B or other types of footballers to try to revert that situation. From my point of view.”
Aspas knowingly added: “Now the headline is easy, of course.”
Luis Enrique felt Aspas didn’t contribute sufficiently from a defensive perspective for Spain.
De la Fuente has chosen to see for himself what the previous Liverpool participant may have the ability to obtain for the nationwide staff within the twilight of his enjoying profession.
Reflecting on Luis Enrique’s reasoning, Aspas stated: “I didn’t agree really, but didn’t have a chat with Luis Enrique to talk about this. I do not know if he said that referring to me specifically, but in my team I run like anyone else.
“Data is there and anybody can see how I could make 10 kilometres per sport every weekend. We [at Celta] are a staff that can’t go away one participant with out defending as a result of different groups might then destroy you.
“I was an important footballer in my [club] team, but when I have come to the national team in other occasions I think that I have demonstrated that I am a versatile player who can play on different positions: behind the striker or as a striker, or on the side. So I am here to help and for what the coach needs.”
Spain misplaced an attacking choice on Thursday when Bryan Gil pulled out of the squad forward of Saturday’s conflict with Norway as a result of “discomfort that has prevented him from exercising normally”.
De la Fuente doesn’t plan to name in a substitute for the participant who’s on mortgage to Sevilla from Tottenham.
