MADRID, 6 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The captain of the Spanish team, Sergio Busquets, lamented this Tuesday the elimination of the Spanish team from the World Cup in Qatar, after losing in the penalty shootout against Morocco, indicating that this time they had a “cross” and that the first three failed , it is “very difficult” to pass the round.
“It’s always a toss-up, this time we’ve had tails, we’ve missed the first three penalties and that’s how it’s very difficult to pass,” said the Spanish player in statements to TVE, collected by Europa Press after the match.
The footballer analyzed the clash and highlighted the defensive solidity of the Moroccan team. “It has been complicated, it cost us a lot, we have tried to wear them down, sometimes we have succeeded and we have lacked that bit of luck in the last auction,” he said.
“We have made merits, it has been a tough game, they defended in their field. As the minutes went by we found more space. In the end we even had Sarabia’s and then penalties were given in the cruelest way” he stated .
The international did not want to talk about his future either and about whether it was his last game with the national team. “Now the important thing is the selection and not me. It’s a difficult night, we’ll have to get up to serve as an experience. We’re in a good dynamic, with young people, this is going to harden them and we have to continue,” he concluded.
