Luis de la Fuente He has already made history in the national team. In Cologne he became the first coach to win his first four matches in the finals, a record that the champions Luis Aragonés did not achieve.
The Riojan had reason to be happy after the embarrassment he suffered when Le Normand put Georgia ahead with an own goal. It was the first goal his team had conceded in four games. “Today was an important game for everyone. Nobody has given anything away to this group.” And he praised his team’s performance. “The result was deceptive, the game was 8-1.” Given the number of shots, 36, that figure could have been easily reached.
Now Host Germany awaits youthe most demanding test he has encountered so far. “We will have to give our best against them.”
Rodri was named the best player of the match after a solid performance by the Manchester City midfielder, the most successful of the Spaniards in passing and distribution. He also scored the most decisive goal, the 1-1 that closed the wound of Georgia’s goal and opened the door for the national team.
«We have started well, different games, patience, colliding with a recessed defense, difficult to enter, exercise of insistence. In the first transition they scored a goal and raised doubts, you know what’s coming, it’s time to row, we were able to score and give peace of mind. Things to improve, without a doubt. “We have lacked forcefulness,” Rodri analyzed.
The midfielder made a gesture with his hands asking his teammates to calm down. «We were crazy, we had lost control and we needed calm. England in the last breath, eh. “We have had opportunities and it has been resolved.”
“You never know if Germany is an early final, we don’t know if the draw is good or bad, everyone has their weapons,” explained the MVP. “Germany will be strong at home, they will also be worried. We will go with personality. We are here to win, not to do well or play well.”
Sagnol attacks the referee
For his part, the Georgian coach, the French Willy Sagnol, complained about Rodri’s goal, which in his opinion should have been disallowed due to Morata’s positional offside, “VAR is a magnificent tool, but if we don’t know how to use it, it is better to leave it for later. For me it was offside,” he lamented. Yes, then He admitted that “Spain has been a fair winner, there is no doubt about that.”
The Frenchman said that “we thought before the game that we could have a chance. When we scored I thought about the same thing. “If we had held out until half-time with the win, we would have had more strength in the second half.”
Sagnol, who did not guarantee that he would continue to lead the national team, said he was “very satisfied with the great Euro we had”, although he regretted that “if you are Georgia you have to be at 100% at all times to beat a team like Spain”.
