BWith an impressive blanket of water, the Spanish team gave Córdoba the party that a city that breathes football deserved, even though it has been away from the elite for some time. Spain passed Serbia, qualified for the quarterfinals of the Nations League and he shouted again that he has enormously talented players even though he was missing seven starters from the Euro. Of Raya to Oyarzabal, The team signed a great match. Another message, this time without extremes. Because Spain plays a lot in many ways.
To the squad!
If we remove the goal from Miranda to Lithuania in June 2021, in the ghost match in Leganés, the Spanish team had not scored a goal from a free kick since September 2017: Silvain Liechtenstein. In Córdoba that account was stopped. Baena, a tremendous player for Spain’s present and future, launched a perfect parabola to Serbia’s left corner. It was the finishing touch to a match in which the midfielder of the Villarreal He showed everything he can add to the team.
Goal at full speed
Said From the Source Before the game, the work would have to be broken and a lot of mature work done. But Spain scored when there were still people entering the field. After four minutes, Laporte opened the scoring with what is the second fastest goal of the era From the Source. The first was that of Jeremy Pino to Italy in the semifinal of the Nations League, after three minutes.
mantle of water
The water in Andalusia It is a blessing, except in the mountains of Grazalemawhich is normal. When he arrives you can’t put a bad face on him. But the people of Córdoba will say that Murphy’s law is real. The team set foot in their city for the second time, the first was in 2001, and the sky opened like it rarely does in the city of the caliphs. A blanket of water accompanied the game. And it rained shortly after 1-0. The good thing is that the national team made that downpour also fall on the Serbs on the field in the form of a game.
How mediocre!
Spain has lost Rodri, which are big words. But he has launched a player who carries an encyclopedia of playing football under his arm. What of Martín Zubimendi They are also big words. The Real player gave another lesson in El Arcángel on how to handle a game on both sides of the field.
Morata, from ovation to ovation
It happened in Murcia and was repeated in Córdoba. In the 40th minute, Rajkovic narrowly saved a header from the Spanish captain. The reaction of the stands was to completely turn to the 7. The “Morata, Morata” It thundered so much that Álvaro was grateful for the warmth he received. Something has changed. That’s what it means to be the captain of the European champions. Not even the horrible penalty he took changed the wind with the 7. That image couldn’t remain between Morata and the stands. And at 65 minutes he threw a left foot shot into the net that made the stands go crazy. There are already 37 with Spain, one away from Torres and entering the scoring podium.
Pedro Porro changes his face
The Tottenham full-back had not had any luck with the national team, but they leave this window with two victories. Until the goal of Zubimendi In Murcia he had never been winning with Spain. Beyond that, the sensations he has left in the two games have been good. Carvajal’s loss is tremendous, but Spain already knows that it has a side that adds to the cause. The calm he needed has been achieved in these two games.
Navas and the family
Luck, what you have From the Source with the group, with the locker room. Luck is not the right word, because the coach built a team that is a family. The visit of Navas and the tribute that was paid to him from within is one more example of what is experienced within this team. As it was in Las Rozas Le Normand, Rodri and Carvajal. Details that make a team a champion.
