“When you lose it’s complicated; when it’s a landslide, even more so”

The Iceland coach, Arnar Vidarsson, highlighted his team’s resistance in the first half hour against Spain (5-0), before conceding a win that he assumes calmly because his team, which did not qualify for the Qatar World Cup , is starting a rebuild.

“When you lose it’s always complicated and when it’s a landslide, even more so. What we said before the game, we know where we are, what our path is. We are developing a new team,” he commented at a press conference after the match.

Vidarsson explained that “the first 30 minutes were even until the first goal” for Spain, the work of Morata.

“I remember a match of the European Championship in Spain against Sweden, which had many opportunities and did not score. With us they were effective, we lost organization and found space on the right wing. That’s where almost all the goals came”, he declared.

The Nordic coach, who came from a draw against Finland (1-1), recalled that his team is “preparing for the Nations League” in June and these games are part of that path.
