Spain head coach Luis Enrique is happy for his players to have sex the night before matches at the World Cup but believes that participating in orgies would “not be ideal.”
The former Barcelona boss revealed his surprising stance, which is likely to please some of his squad members and their partners in Qatar, during a Twitch stream on Thursday night. And the relaxed approach has not done his squad any harm so far considering they destroyed Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening fixture on Wednesday afternoon.
Enrique has been using the streaming service to answer questions from supporters throughout the tournament in an attempt to feel closer to the 2010 champions’ fans. And when asked on Thursday night whether his players were allowed to have sex before a match, Enrique said: "It's something I consider totally normal. I mean if you're at an orgy the night before a match it's not ideal. But hey."
