The Spanish under-21 team completed this Monday its first training session ahead of the matches against North Ireland, on June 3, and Malta, on June 7, already with the incorporation of John Pacheco, who arrived later at the concentration since he had a university exam.
A session that began with soccer players and members of the expedition recording a video of support for José Manuel Molina Maza, head of the team’s delegation, who cannot be there because he underwent surgery for a detached retina.
He was present at the training Francis Hernandez, Coordinator of National Teams of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), who returned from Israel after Spain under-17 fell in the quarterfinals against Portugal (2-1).
The under-21s completed a low-intensity training session and it will be tomorrow, Tuesday, when Luis de la Fuente picks up the pace ahead of the match against Ireland that will be played in Larne, at the Inver Park stadium, on Friday, June 3, at 2:00 p.m.: 00 hours CEST (-2 GMT). The second game will face Spain under-21 against Malta on Tuesday, June 7 at 8:00 p.m. at the Álvarez Claro stadium in Melilla.
