The Spanish team reaches the last day of the group stage of the Euro
2020 with the urgent need to add a victory before Slovakia
to not depend on anyone and qualify for the round of 16. There is no longer any margin for error. Depending on the results that Seville and Saint Petersburg will give this afternoon, those of Lewis
Enrique They can finish first, second, third -all those places would be valid to access the eighth- or fourth and eliminated, which would happen in case of defeat or even with a draw if Poland beats Sweden in Russian lands.
The tie will only be valid if Poland does not win
This Wednesday at six o'clock in the afternoon in the Cartuja – fortunately, maximums are expected at that time of only 31º … in the shade – is the first decisive match for the Spanish team and it may be the last as the result is not achieved desired, which is none other than victory, the only thing that guarantees a pass to the second round without depending on others. The tie will only be valid if you do not win Poland to Sweden and the defeat would send us home and would be one of the biggest failures in recent times, as the group that has fallen in luck was the most affordable, although no match has yet been won.
Lewis
Enrique He is obliged to make changes in all lines, because the national team, so far, has not agreed in attack or defense or in the middle of the field, where it seems that Sergio Busquets will have a safe place after overcoming the quarantine by Covid. The selection, to date, has shown little forceful back –Isak Y Lewandowski They created a lot of problems alone – and in front, with only one goal scored in the two games despite having enjoyed more than half a dozen clear chances.
Last training session before taking on Slovakia
Luis Enrique knows that he is playing it
The coach is convinced that when the first convincing victory arrives, it will be like uncorking a bottle of cava and everything will be seen again in a different color, although if the classification is not achieved today, no one escapes that they will have to pack their bags despite having a contract effective until after world
from
Qatar. “We do not live on air. Coaches are about results and about achieving goals. I hope to be in the second round and pass as first, but in football there are many situations that we cannot control ”, he acknowledged Lewis
Enrique
in the previous one, knowing that he plays it before anyone else, having risked a lot in the election of the call for this Euro
2020, in which he even left two places unfilled.
Spain It will be first or second in the group if it wins, third or fourth if it ties and fourth for sure if it loses. If it finishes in the top three, it qualifies for the eighth -the minimum that is dispatched- and if it doesn't, it will be one of the biggest failures in recent decades. The national team has already proven capable of beating anyone … or of not beating almost anyone, so it is not advisable to bury it before its time. If you uncork the cava, we'll see how far it can go.
