Luis Enrique Says Alvaro Morata Is 'Much Better' Now Than He Was at Chelsea

Spain manager Luis Enrique defended Alvaro Morata after a wasteful performance in Spain's 2-1 win over Norway on Saturday.

The striker failed to find the net from six efforts on goal in the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier, but Enrique said he has improved since leaving Chelsea for Atletico Madrid on loan in January.

Per AS, he said:

"I see him much better than when he was at Chelsea. He has been always great with us but now he is more decisive, keeping the ball at the end of this match for example.
