UEFA Nations League Spain vs Croatia 11/09/2018

Spain vs Croatia UEFA Nations League

Spain has a great challenge again in this League of Nations. Today they face England, and three days later the runner-up of the world, Croatia. The Croatians faced Portugal and drew a ball, even with a Portuguese team without some of the most influential players. Croatia, even without Mandzukic continues a very strong selection offensively, maintaining Rakitic, Modric, Rebic or Perisic, they who were with the Juventus player the backbone of the Croats in the world. It will be necessary to see what will change in the red, now with Luis Enrique, and much of that answer will be evaluated by his performance in this group 4 of league A. At the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, Spain returns home, and feels a ” responsibility “after poor performance at the 2018 World Cup. Any result other than victory will add further mistrust, even as the result and performance in the game with England is not yet known. But, much of the success of the red one will depend on the capacity of Croatia to maintain the high level that exhibited in the last world-wide one. With all this the conditions for a great football game are met.

STATISTICS AND IMPORTANT DATA

Spain have “lost” part of that “tiki-taka” that gave them so many joys, how to get to world champion.

The disappointing performance, in the 2018 World Cup, despite the “setback” Lopetegui, does not remove responsibilities for the red, especially in the medium-sized performances.

With Luis Enrique, Spain is rebuilding, and the charisma of the former player may be important for a rebirth of a selection that has the best interpreters in the world.

Croatia seems to maintain the enormous quality of its collective. This was visible at the Estádio do Algarve in the 1-ball draw with the European champion selection.

It is true that Spain is still an unknown, at least in terms of performance. It has not stopped having the best players in the world in their positions, like De Gea, Sérgio Ramos, Buskets, Isco … among many. However, one notices a break with the past, and the call reflects this. The talent is a lot and can be better taken advantage of. With Luis Enrique, players will not just play by their status, and this may bring, not just surprise, like new blood and great quality. Spain should want to give a test of vitality, which was hurt in their pride, during the last World Cup. Croatia remain very talented and high level, so it will be a serious threat to Spain’s goal. Over 2 goals.
