LThe Spanish team already senses what its final path will be like in the group of the Nations League. First round closed, Spain He is the leader of the group and can put both feet in the quarterfinals on Tuesday Córdoba. The victory against the Danes, suffered and sweated, is a load of vitamins for a team that responds to the avalanche of casualties. As expected, the game was rough, due to the absences and the rival. But that team has internalized the winning gene. It has been installed at the top of Europa and whoever wants to download it already knows that even with their first unit destroyed they are capable of winning.
Raya’s powers
The Spanish goal is one of the areas affected by the losses of important players, because Unai Simon He is the commanding voice of the team on and off the field. David Raya He has made it clear that you can live peacefully with him under the sticks. In the first half he made two quality saves, both against Dolberg and with different records: a low shot and a handball in which he showed speed and reflexes. The game with the foot and its long movements are on another level. There are times when games are won with goalkeeper saves at 0-0. Madrid knows it well with Courtois. And Spain with David Raya.
Downs and downs
Six absences compared to the team that took the field in the Euro Cup final represent a burden of enormous weight no matter how much Luis de la FuenteAs it should be, shower your players with praise. Among them, Carvajal’s is superlative. Because Rodri is the best in the world in his position, but ZubimendiBeyond the goal, he is super elite. But on the right side things are very different. At the level of Carvajal there is no one Pedro Porro improved his previous performances, but there the team has a stone to polish.
The one Lamine Yamal had!
Denmark knew that Spain’s 10 was the danger. The first time he played Lamine Yamal The ball took a little message down, one of those to mark ground. What is special is that every time the ball lands at his feet, a murmur runs through the stadium. That turned into a roar when with the break already on the verge, the Spanish winger was left face to face with Kasper Schmeichel after a great pass Pedro Porro. Lamine Yamal He put his body in, gained an absolute advantage, but wanted to adjust so much that the ball went high. Incredible, but it wasn’t a goal.
Morata, Morata!
Álvaro Morata did not score on his return with the national team. His tally remains at 36, two behind Torres, who marks his entry onto the scoring podium. But Enrique Roca in Murcia came out applauded and after hearing his name chanted. If on other occasions he left the Spanish fields hurt, this time the captain can only give thanks to Murcia.
The Danish nightmare
There’s no need to think about it any further: Spain is Denmark’s bête noire. Playing against the Spanish team has been torture for the Nordics since August 28, 1920. Patricio Arabolaza sentenced the match in Brussels in what was the first match for the Spanish team. From then on, Denmark has only been able to beat Spain twice (1993 and 1979). The one from ’93 is the only official one. Murcia joins the Danish black history. The balance of victories in 17 games is 13-2 for Spain. The next one, stop at Copenhagen.
What a hobby!
A 10 for Murcia. A city that loves football and misses seeing itself in the elite. There have been too many years without a field that is First Division, by far, having matches week after week of the level that the city deserves. The way he dedicated himself to the national team was once again a festival. That ended in the party that those discouraged people deserved who exploded with the goal of Zubimendi Spain’s fifth game in Murcia: four wins and one draw.
