Luis De la Fuente knew how to take advantage of the high level with which his players arrive and against a lesser rival he managed to win by five goals. Two halves that were completely different, in terms of offensive play, defined the match. The Spanish strategist has enough to analyze.
Despite coming out in the first half with an alternative team, La Roja did not find the route to the goal until the 24th minute thanks to a corner kick that, after the authorization of Cubarsí, Ayoze, who was debuting tonight, managed to capitalize on. Both players would leave as the figures of the first half, due to their participation in the goal and their contribution to the collective game. Although they only reached the opponent’s goal three times, Spain always had possession of the ball.
The second half was different. From the beginning the coach refreshed the defensive backline with three changes (Navas, Le Normand and Cucurela) and Morata came out to make way for Oyarzabal, who did not waste the opportunity: with just 8 minutes on the field, he scored the first goal after a pass by Ayoze. He then scored two more to take the ball with a hat-trick.
After the second goal, the other figure and debutant of the match, Fermín López, entered. The Barcelona player, who came in to replace Pedri’s role, did not have a problem and participated in the next three goals, placing filtered passes behind the defense and, in addition, making a presence in the opposing area with quality and hierarchy. Excellent debut for the 21-year-old.
From now on, De la Fuente has quite a bit of work to do. Although the rival did not put up much resistance, there are several high points in the players who are arriving or returning to the national team. Not to mention that, the additions of the Real Madrid footballers (Carvajal, Nacho and Joselu) and Aymeric Laporte are still missing. The next match will be against Northern Ireland on June 8 at 9:30 p.m. With this duel the preparation for the Euro Cup is completed and, consequently, the coach must define the list of 26 that will accompany him to Germany. At this moment it has 29 players and it is necessary to remove three from the squad. There is a future in the national team.
