Luis Enrique is fine with his players making love the night before a game. The national coach of Spain said this during a live stream on Twitch in the run-up to the South Europeans’ duel with Germany. The coach emphasizes that it should not get out of hand. “Of course it’s not ideal if you have an orgy before a game.”

The Spanish national team is remarkably open and communicative through this tournament Twitch. Enrique wants to keep communication with the supporters alive through that platform. The 52-year-old Spaniard said in such streaming consider it ‘ridiculous’ to forbid sex. “Sex is something I think is completely normal. Of course it’s not ideal if you have an orgy the night before a game, but if the players are home the night before I don’t worry about that at all.”

“If having sex is something they do, it’s because they want to,” continues Enrique. “But I repeat with common sense, each with their partner. I consider sex important and when I was at home with my wife as a player, well, then we did what we had to do,” continues the former player of Barcelona and RealMadrid. An interesting detail is that Enrique’s daughter, Sira Martínez, has a relationship with Ferran Torres. The attacker was important in the first group match with Costa Rica (7-0) with two goals and dedicated his goals to Martínez.

Enrique was also asked which player of la Furia Roja most like himself. “That’s very easy: Mr. Ferran Torres. If I don’t say that, my daughter will come after me and cut off my head,” jokes Enrique. Spain has made an excellent start to the World Cup after the big victory over Costa Rica. Germany awaits on Sunday evening at 8 p.m. Dutch time, which will have to look a lot better after the defeat against Japan (1-2) to keep the hope of reaching the eighth finals alive.
