Real Madrid legend Hugo Sánchez has commented on the opinion that the Spanish national team may have deliberately chosen their opponent in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

I can assure you. I wasn't there, and Luis Enrique wasn't thinking about me, but he was thinking about the best way to avoid playing Brazil in the quarterfinals. Yes, there is a risk, but it's a risk worth taking. It's not that they are afraid of Brazil, they respect them.
