The head coach of the Spanish national team, Julen Lopetegui, knows that Diego Costa has serious character problems, but he does not consider it a tragedy.
Considered one of the most dishonorable players, D. Costa was also nervous during the match against Italy and was substituted for Alvaro Morata in the second half. J. Lopetegui did not want to risk the player getting a red card.
D. Costa, who plays for London's "Chelsea" club, is unpredictable, and the Spanish national team coach knows this well. According to him, it is possible to get rid of these inappropriate character traits, but for now, they have to accept the player as he is.
"Players grow as individuals until they retire. I believe that character can be changed, but certain measures are required for that," said J. Lopetegui.
"Diego has a complex character. He is a fighter and that has damaged his reputation. He knows he can change and knows that we will always support him. But for now, we have to accept him as he is. We need to understand him, no matter what he does. Small details during matches can have a huge impact," concluded J. Lopetegui.
