Lucas Vazquez reacted to Spain’s shock defeat against Georgia
Lucas Vazquez believes Spain‘s shock defeat in the hands of Georgia, in their last pre-Euro game was result of lack of motivation.
“I’m very happy for my debut, it’s a prize for me to be here.
“Wearing the No 9 shirt is an honour, but it’s only a number. There’s no pressure.
“In today’s football, any opponent can beat you. This defeat must serve to motivate us more.

“We must treat this defeat as an error before Euro 2016 so we can start [the tournament] as best we can.”
Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal has blasted on former Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, and reflect on the tenure of Zinedine Zidane and Rafa Benitez.
“Mourinho didn’t give me opportunities. When I came back I needed a year away. And if I hadn’t done well I would have said I didn’t have the level for Madrid. I thought I was perfectly prepared for the first team but hey, the Coach, in this case, Mourinho, didn’t count on me,” the right-back told Marca.

“I preferred to make my way in Europe, in another League, to staying in the Segunda with Castilla. I left with the idea of returning. In life you have to overcome difficulties that make you stronger, obstacles for a player to pass, to mature, to make you a better person.”
“The team didn’t change. We were the same players. I think the mentality changed. We needed fresh air. With Benitez, the teZidane found the key. He came in hard but he has also been fair. Whoever deserved to play, has played. That’s very important to a group. I can’t be unhappy.
“I’ve played 50% of games, I’ve been out for three or four months with one thing or another, and I know I’ve had tough competition. In the final stretch the Coach opted for me. Balancing the good and bad, I finished well, overcame a lot of difficulties but it’s also a year to take into account and improve.am, the atmosphere, the fans, weren’t really into the group. It was all negativity,” he recalled.
“We weren’t very optimistic, the intensity in training, which went into games. I also think that if we had another Coach in those first months it would have been positive, because we needed a change.
