Saturday rest for Isak and prominence for Oyarzabal Y Merino. The forward did not play a single minute in the match that his team, Sweden, played and won against the world runner-up, Croatia (2-1). The realist was part of the call, he has no physical problems, but his coach, Janne
Andersson, he opted for other startup players and the only change he made. For his part, both Mikel
Oyarzabal as Mikel
Merino they were starters in the match of the Spanish team against Switzerland in Basel (1-1 final). The Gipuzkoan played the first 72 minutes, until he was replaced by Adama
Traoré. The Navarrese arrived until 79 ', at which time he was relieved by Gerard
Brown, author of the goal of ‘la roja’.
The Eibar had a notable participation in the Hispanic attack, although he could not continue with his scoring streak, among other things because Sergio
Bouquets he shot and missed two penalties, and in the first was the infallible Mikel on the court. The realist youth squad moved mainly on the left wing of the attack, although with a tendency to seek the center. He completed the offensive shortlist with Elm, who played as a false battering ram, and Ferran
towers.
In minute 14, Oyarzabal suffered a hard tackle down from Elmedi, who saw the yellow card for that action. The realist was able to continue playing, who enjoyed two occasions, one of the clearest in Spain in the first half: a center kick that was about to slip in because the ball slipped through the goalkeeper's hands Sommer and a shot from the front that the goalkeeper cleared.
Merino, meanwhile, was the left steering wheel ahead of Busquets and next to Fabian in a 4-3-3 scheme very similar to the Real one. The one from Iruñea offered his usual physical display, which helped him steal some balls in the opposite field. The Real player was right with the ball and teaming up with his teammates. A very clear opportunity was born from one of his combing in a corner, but Ferran
towers he finished off without the goalkeeper's opposition. Spain plays it Tuesday against Germany: they need to win.
