Good morning peeps,
Regarding Spain’s match yesterday against Cape Verde, honestly, it was not a beautiful game overall. Obviously, you could see the general superiority of the Spanish team: 74% possession vs 26%, 27 shots vs 6, 11 corners, etc...Those stats, in a normal match, would give you a clear winner, but that was not the case.
My concern, more than the result, is really to see how the key players of the team are doing physically, and whether they are able to recover that physical tone. If they do, I still see them with many chances of going far in this World Cup.
Let’s remember that in recent tournaments , and the clearest example is Spain itself in the South Africa World Cup, where they ended up as champions...many champions started with defeats. The last one, in 2022, started with a defeat for Argentina.
Everything under control
Salut!
