Enrique: "Spain trained 1000 penalties but still couldn't score one"

Scheming to qualify from the group stage to avoid Brazil in the quarter-finals,

have been knocked out of the World Cup in the round of 16 following a 3-0 defeat in the penalty shootout after a goalless draw, with Carlos Soler, Pablo Sarabia, and Sergio Busquets missing their penalties against

's keeper, Bono.

La Roja boss

Luis Enrique

told his post-match interview:

"I imagine that they have done their homework. Over a year ago, in one of the Spain camps, I told them they had to get here with at least 1,000 penalties taken. If you wait until getting here to practise penalties... [it won't be enough].

"It's a moment of maximum tension, a time to show your nerve and that you can shoot the penalty in the way you have decided, if you have trained it a thousand times. It says a lot about each player. It's trainable, manageable, how you manage the tension. It's increasingly less luck - the goalkeepers have more influence.

“We have a very good goalkeeper, any of the three can do very well in this situation. Every time we finish training, I see a lot of players taking penalties."
