ANDspaa has closed the first four games of the League of Nations in top of the ranking after the triumph against the Czech Republic and the victory of Switzerland against a Portugal without Cristiano Ronaldo and that he has ceded the leadership of the group to the selection of Luis Enrique.
The best thing about the Spanish team is the competitive gene that the coach has managed to inject into the players. The harmony with the fans is total and it is not because of a game that falls in love, but because of the total conviction that he shows in what he does and that they know how to transmit to the stands.
After the jug of cold water caused by Horta’s equalizer a few minutes before the end of the game against Portugal and the subsequent equalizer against the Czech Republic, Spain has come out on top with two wins that have enabled them to reach the decisive phase of the qualifying group, needing aA victory against Switzerland in La Romareda and a draw against Portugal in Braga to seal the presence in the final phase. No longer dependent on third party results.
Until the end
The merit of this Spain is that they face all matches the same, with the same intensity. If he is the leader today, it is thanks to the two wins he has achieved, but also to that draw achieved in an agonizing way in Prague, in the weakest match of the four played in June, but in which he once again made it clear that he could win.o beat Luis Enrique’s team, you don’t have to lower your arms until the referee whistles. It is not the first time they show it nor will it be the last. It is what the players know and also the fans who blew up La Rosaledacheering from the first to the last minute.
Perhaps the League of Nations is not the best possible showcase, but the coach has managed to get the players who go to the national team to do so as if it were their last. The World Cup is close and the moment of the season has mattered little in which these games have been played, with the holidays on everyone’s mind. The performance has been above what the players’ legs could offer and it has been so because of the dedication of all the players. It is the identity of this Spain.
And the World Cup in sight
The team has two games ahead of them to seal a classification to which the four teams still aspire. On September 24 Switzerland awaits in Zaragoza, to play three days later against Portugal Braga and all as a step prior to the start of the World Cup, which will be on November 23 without a defined rival yet. There will be no more tests before the final list, hence the two pending matches will be decisive for the League of Nations and to be in the World Cup.
