Luis Enrique wants Spain to come out swinging and making a racket tonight.
The former Barcelona great has adopted a saying made famous by tennis legend Billie Jean King as he looks to top Group E. Spain’s coach is living by the motto: ‘Pressure is a privilege’ and wants his squad to enjoy themselves as they seek the victory that will secure passage to the last 16.
American superstar King coined the phrase and it adorns a plaque at the central court at the US Open venue in Queens. Enrique said: “We have copied the slogan “Pressure is a privilege,’ from the US Open. This is our privilege. We are the chosen ones here. It reflects what we are looking for.
