Spain national team head coach Luis Enrique announced he will launch a Twitch channel during the FIFA World Cup tournament to document the team’s football actions in Qatar.
The 52-year-old Spanish boss Enrique said the ulterior for opening the online video account is to talk to the Spanish fans directly and avoid media filters.
Luis Enrique is famous for doing things differently from other coaches and on Monday night, November 14, he announced via his Twitter handle that he would stream all Spain fixtures throughout the World Cup tournament via his new Twitch channel.
Enrique posted a video on his Twitter account, explaining why he launched the Twitch channel with username “luisenrique21worldcup22” and what fans should expect from it.
Enrique will start streaming as soon as Spain arrives in Qatar on Friday, November 18 in preparation for their first game on November 23, and the whole action is expected to be streamed live on Enrique’s Twitch channel.
Enrique said: “The idea is simply to establish a direct relationship with fans who may be interested in information about the national team.”
By streaming on the Twitch channel, Spanish fans can get the latest information about the team directly from the coach, instead of relying on unreliable reporters and news outlets which often create rumors looking for clicks.
He added: “Telling everything from a particular point of view, in this case, mine and that of my ‘staff’, and establishing a direct and more spontaneous relationship.”
“I can only improve because the light now is not adequate and the microphone is from the Third Division. My face is what it is. I will improve.”
“I’m excited now to experience the excitement that is a World Cup, the pressure that is a World Cup, and to have that communication with all of you.”
In a subsequent tweet, the Spanish boss Luis Enrique shared a link to his new Twitch channel which had already amassed above 73,000 followers even before his first live stream.
Spain’s Chances of winning the World Cup.
It’s Luis Enrique’s second tournament as Spain’s manager and he will hopefully steer the team to clinch the World Cup after leading them to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 last summer.
The 2010 World Cup winners are in a sturdy form to beat other contenders and win the glamorous 2022 Qatar World Cup as they effortlessly topped their qualifying group, with six victories, one draw, and a loss.
