The coach thinks his players won't let praise go to their heads

Spain coach Luis Enrique spoke about the 7-0 pasting of Costa Rica but also highlighted that he would make changes against Germany.

"I don't know who will play," Luis Enrique said on Spanish television.

"If we achieve our objective, which is playing seven games, it will be everyone, not just 11 players.

"I don't think I've ever repeated a line-up and I probably won't repeat one."

The coach said that “praise can weaken” a team but believed his squad would be strong and keep up their determination and momentum.

“Keeping our head is very important, for us having a psychologist was like having an alien, and it’s been vital so the players don’t go out there over-excited.”
