MADRID, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Spain coach Luis Enrique is giving little away about the side he could pick to face England in their UEFA Nations League game in the Benito Villamarin Stadium in Seville on Monday.
A draw will almost certainly be enough to see Spain into the final four of the tournament with a win mathematically securing their qualification. Luis Enrique was optimistic his side would be successful.
"You always think things are going to work out well and we work for that to happen. We are calm about things," he said in his pre-game press conference. "A win will give us a place in the finals and I am not thinking about any other result."
Luis Enrique said it was "always good to play in Seville. When I was a player matches here were always special and I know we will have the public behind us. Seville is a special place for Spain," he commented.
The Spain coach also said England were a threat from set pieces, explaining his side has to be alert to give away the lowest number set piece opportunities they possibly can.
Enrique hopes his side can "play as far away" from their own goal as possible. He is also an admirer of England coach Gareth Southgate.
"He looks to play good football, adapting himself to the players he has. I have followed him closely and have an English teacher who doesn't cost me anything," he joked.
