Today, that's an easy way to analyse.
When you are a team that you need a goal, you cannot take Cristiano off, at least in the 90 minutes, because physically he's totally, totally capable with what he's done over the season to be able to be there.
It's a presence, open space, a dead ball situation, anything in the box.
We need his experience, so it would make no sense.
Probably going into extra time, it would have been the moment to use the energy of Gonzalo Ramos.
Today, we were stopping totally what Spain tries to do with the influence of Pedri, the influence of Olmo, the influence of Rodri, the influence of Lamin Llamal, Cucurella arriving at the last step.
We consider the goal that is not typically...
in the patterns of Spain so today we had to keep the structure and it wasn't a case to take your centre forward to top goalscorer of the game in the 90 minutes.
It's using the players, it's using the information that we have.
Rafael Leal was our best player against Croatia
Last time he played 90 minutes was in the first of March and during the whole season never played two games in four days.
So you have to protect your players, you have to use your players and I think that's what we do very, very well.
But that's not to stop criticism from the outside, that's just to give the best chance to our players.
Today I think you said a word about disappointing.
I'm not disappointed.
No, I'm sad.
I'm sad because we lost.
We wanted to get to the final.
I really felt that we could get eight games in this tournament, but I'm extremely proud.
We played one of the favorite teams eye to eye, and at times we made them been very comfortable.
