The former Spain national team coach had issued a clear ultimatum. He demanded a significant increase in intensity and professionalism during training, otherwise he was ready to leave. “At the end of his first season, he told me: ‘Luis, either we raise the level of training every day, with players giving 100%, or I’m leaving,’” explains Campos.
Since then, this rigor has become a central criterion in recruitment. “When we talk to a player, I immediately tell him that if he doesn’t train every day at the highest level, he won’t play. It’s as simple as that,” concludes the Portuguese executive.
