He doesn't use clichés but explains his tactical views and philosophy. On Croatia equalising…
ʿʿWe should have been calmer. When you have the ball, the rival doesn't attack you. The best is to defend with the ballʾʾ

ʿʿHaving the ball should have the aim of reaching the goal, but you also get oxygen and have more options than the rivals, who become tired. You should have the ball to steal spaces, not have 80% of possession for the sake of itʾʾ
Perfect environment for Pedri in Spain, with the right tactical context and teammates that enhance him with their technical and tactical quality.
He says Spain do press more than Barça. Also, ʿʿyou should give confidence to quality, because these players give it back to youʾʾ.
