Flick praises Enrique and Spain ahead of World Cup clash

Germany manager Hansi Flick believes Spain is one of the favorites to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Germany

is in Group E with

Spain

, Costa Rica, and Japan. Hansi Flick’s side which has won just one of their last seven matches will face Spain on November 27 in their second game.

Flick says he expects Spain under Luis Enrique to fight for the

World Cup

in Qatar.

He said:

“Spain is a great footballing nation and again this year they have an outstanding team with great individual players. I have a lot of respect for Luis Enrique and I am sure that he will put together a team that will play for the title. I don’t expect anything else.”

Spain beat Germany in Euro 2008 final and the 2010 World Cup semi-final. Flick was part of Joachim Low’s coaching staff at that time.

“The Spanish team has always evolved, it has never stopped. And yet, it always has its own unmistakable style. That speaks very well of Spain.”

Former Bayern Munich manager also says no team can function without clear rules.

“A team does not function without clear rules and discipline. But also not without a certain degree of freedom and personal responsibility. The mix has to be just right.”

Flick who won the Champions League with Bayern in 2020, praises Luis Enrique ahead of their first meeting as managers.

“He is a fantastic coach and a great personality. I have great respect for him as a coach and I appreciate him a lot as a person.”
