Spain coach Luis Enrique is allowing his stars to have sex on the night before matches.
But he draws the line at them participating in orgies.
The Spaniard’s methods are clearly working well, with his side having romped past Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening group game.
In order to engage with fans during the tournament, Enrique has been chatting on streaming platform Twitch.
When the subject turned to his players’ sex habits, the former Barcelona boss 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.”
Enrique, who at 52 remains in fine nick himself, even went as far as to talk about his own habits.
