Can not fail. That's him party motto tonight in Basel against Switzerland, since the initial script pointed to what will be against Germany, Tuesday, when let's play the pass to the Final Four of the Nations League. But the plans are one thing and quite another is what football dictates. Hence the warning that yesterday left on the table Own Luis Enrique: “Switzerland is a team that don't speculate, what press and it is very complete.

Luis Enrique announced that he will not risk with the Valencian (who yesterday trained outside the group to avoid blows) and does well. Cucurella was called urgently from the U21, concentrated in Marbella, although in principle the best placed for starting form is Reguilón, Bale's privileged partner at Tottenham. Another who chooses to stay from holder is Morata, which left a very good feeling in the first part of the game played at the Johan Cruyff Arena. “Luis Enrique asks me to run, but believes in me And that's why I am here.

Tonight, everything points to Shaquiri, that in Valdebebas he rejoined his team after a year out, form the beginning. its left-handed has regained control in recent weeks and is key on the offensive side of the team. Seferovic could be your best partner in attack, where Gavranovic and Embolo they also knock on the door. Xhaka, meanwhile, will return to be the baton to move a team that Spain must win to continue depending on itself. Otherwise we should start pulling the calculator before the last day. With how bad mathematics is.
