The Spanish selection the first of the two endings he has to face this week. The Qatar World Cup is just around the corner, although the match started with a good news for both selections: the defeat of Sweden against Georgia (2-0). The victory leaves ours at the gates of tournament. Worth a draw against the nordics on the last day.
This has been the 1×1 of the national team players:
Unai Simon (6): the goalkeeper has played every game in the last calendar year, since his debut against Portugal. Today he lived a quiet duel, although Greece gave him some scare at the end. They scored a goal … offside
Carvajal (7): He returned to the national team after a year of absence and did so as a starter. He got into the right lane well and covered the few Hellenic attempts in the second half. It left very good feelings
Íñigo Martínez (9): very well with the ball from behind, caused the penalty of 0-1. Perfect in the positioning, even his ownership surprised someone but he left the flag very high. He was substituted when the game was dying.
Laporte (6): well placed throughout the match, he was quite successful in the ball exit. Having two left-handed centrals is always good when dealing with this aspect of the game
Gayá (8): Luis Enrique has always considered it a fundamental piece. Today he started on a key day ahead of Jordi Alba. Very deep in attack and very serious behind, although in the final section he lost some of his bellows
Rodri (6): more positional, as is customary for him. He was in charge of getting the ball out with the centrals and he folded well in the few outings to attack Greece. He was even encouraged to join the rival area at the end.
Koke (7): today he was the organizer of the national team. At just 29 years old, he was the oldest starting player and the one who wore the captain’s armband. Good filtered pass to De Tomás in the first half to leave him only before Vlachodimos. Full match.
Gavi (7): He is only 17 years old but this is his third game as an absolute international and in all three he has started. Very sure in the creation of the game and in the exit of the ball, he had to go in the second half due to a pain in the eye after an incident with a Greek player.
Sarabia (8): Today he played as the only pure winger of the national team, a record that is scarce in our national team. He was quite deep and participated in the associative attack game. He scored a penalty that is key in the future of the group and that is worth its weight in gold. He left in the absence of half an hour
Raúl de Tomás (7): He came on the rebound to replace Ansu Fati … and justified the call from Luis Enrique. Very active in attack, dynamic, he gave his teammates many options and created a lot of danger in the Hellenic area. His aim failed him, but his debut was fantastic. He played for almost an hour.
Morata (5): quite discreet match of the Madrid attacker. He offered to play some ball, but he was rarely seen in the face of the door. Fornals replaced him.
In addition, they also played Rodrigo (5), Busquets (6), Dani Olmo (6), Fornals (6) and Azpilicueta (sc)
