Exhibition of the Rojita, one point from the European

Luis Enriqueabsolute Spanish coach, continues to recruit talent from the Sub-21 and Louis of the Source continues to discover players who, after Friday’s resounding 8-0 victory against Lithuaniaput to Spain just one point away from qualifying for the European of the category.

Hugo Guillamon He has been the last to make the leap from a list that goes up to the 13 footballers who went on to play with the elders since Luis Enrique took over the absolute. In that period, the Under-21s were European champions, fell in the semifinals in 2021 and are on their way to their third continental tournament in a row.

A classification that stood up for the expulsion from Russia of UEFA competitions after the invasion of Ukraineuntil then tied at 15 points with Spainand especially after the lopsided victory against Lithuania at the stadium Municipality of the Prado of a Talavera that turned to the present and future of the selection.

those of Louis of the Source It took them 16 minutes to acclimatize to the speed of the grass due to the rain that hit the town of Toledo just before the start of the game. Three inappropriate losses for Spain made Lithuania rely on the counterattack, but they did not worry Arnau Tenas and went Rodrigo Sanchez who opened the scoreboard taking advantage of a good center of manu sanchez from the left flank.

They continued to dominate the locals until in the 35th minute it went from raining water to goals. Four in just eight minutes. It started Sergio Gomez with a good cross shot from outside the area, Rodri certified his double taking advantage of a strategic play in the 38th minute, Bryan Gil He showed his superiority by leaving two defenders and defining hard at the near post in the 40th minute and Abel Ruiz He acted as ‘9’ finishing off a goal inside the area in minute 43.

A 5-0 that led to Louis of the Source take the opportunity to give minutes to a player who made his debut, like Rodrigo Riquelme ‘Roro’and even Karrikaburu who is the great hope of Real Sociedad in terms of goals.

But before a debutant was released, the next goal came from a defender. From Manuel Sanchez, owned by Atlético de Madrid on loan to Osasuna, who after giving the assist for the 1-0 made a good roulette Unai Winner to place the ‘set’ in the 61st minute of the match.

The changes of Luis de la Fuente maintained the energy of his team. Winning the title in the U-21 is quite a challenge and Alex Baena, called for the first time this March, it took him four minutes to show the coach that he opted for it, finishing off as if it were a center forward.

the party in Talavera of the Queenwhich sold out 4,000 tickets in 24 hours, completed it Beñat Turrientes with a shot from the edge of the box in the 70th minute. The only bad news for Spain was that Unai Winner saw a yellow card in minute 86 and will not be able to play next Tuesday in Slovakia.
