Luis Enrique made his debut on Twitch in front of more than 150,000 people on Friday evening. The national coach of Spain uses the streaming service, which is particularly popular among young people, to promote the fans of la roja to give an insight during the World Cup in Qatar. During the stream, the Dutch title chances were also discussed.
Enrique is surprised by the enthusiasm surrounding his stream, although he does not want to make too many promises. “If I don’t feel like it, I won’t do it anymore. As I said before: this depends on nothing or no one. As long as I want to do it, I will. And given the response, well above my expectations, we will be here again tomorrow.” The Spanish media are very positive about the initiative of the choice lord.
The 52-year-old national coach thinks that the South American countries will make a shot at the overall victory this winter. “To be on the safe side, I would say Brazil and Argentina. Next comes France, the current champion. Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, England and Belgium are also contenders.” Enrique is on the eve of his first World Cup participation as national coach. In Group E, the Spaniards will compete against Costa Rica, Germany and Japan.
Should Spain not win the longest straw in Qatar, Enrique has a personal favorite for the title win. “If we don’t win, I want Argentina to win. A player like Lionel Messi should retire with a world title in his pocket. Although I think he can still play in the next World Cup. And otherwise Uruguay because of Luís Suárez, of course.” Enrique enjoyed his greatest success as a manager with Messi, Suárez and Neymar at the forefront of his career at Barcelona. With the successful trio, he won the Champions League in the glorious 2014/15 season by beating Juventus in Berlin 1-3.
