A slip by Íñigo Martínez cost Spain on Thursday night. Had it not happened, Spain would have beaten Greece and would not have been limited to a frustrating draw.
It must be remembered that, with Luis Enrique at the helm, Spain has a recognizable style and is on the right track. But, with that said, only the team that finishes first will go straight to the World Cup in Qatar.
Álvaro Morata impressed, scored a goal and played well. Bryan Gil’s debut was also something to celebrate, but the only doubt is Luis Enrique’s decision to rest Sergio Ramos at half-time. Is agreeing to play only 45 minutes the best idea in a competitive game?
Luis Enrique has a plan
It is easy to criticize him after a draw, but the star of this Spanish team is Luis Enrique. He has very clear ideas and plans for this team.
He used practically the same team that played in Germany’s 6-0 hammering, with only Sergi Roberto and Pau Torres falling from the team due to injury.
Spain will have to suffer a lot to get to Qatar
Spanish fans assume that Spain will make it to Qatar, but there is a lot of work to be done before that happens.
With Greece and Sweden in the group, La Roja will not have it easy. Starting off with a slip at home has only complicated things.
Morata with confidence is a top player
Álvaro Morata feels good in this Spanish team and is restoring Luis Enrique’s confidence in him.
He opened the scoring with a magnificent goal, while showing his quality at all times.
Sergio Ramos Agreements
Ramos started and retired at halftime in what appeared to be a previously agreed change.
There is no doubt that Luis Enrique pampers his captain, but this type of arrangement may not be successful in a competitive game.
Taking out a player after 60 or 75 minutes is very different from taking it out at half time.
Iñigo Penalty … and without VAR
Íñigo Martínez conceded a penalty that allowed Greece to equalize, but it was a controversial incident that Spain was not happy about.
Promising signs from Bryan Gil
Bryan Gil’s debut cheered on the Spanish fans and added a lot of rhythm up front.
