Keep

Spain he left with his head down from The Cartuja, worried because the pass to the second round of the Eurocup is very complicated. Play against Slovakia, which is not to tremble, but seen what has been seen, it is difficult to think big with the national team. From the game against Poland, another draw full of doubts that shows that Spain suffers a lot in the areas, the defense pointed out because Lewandowski, alone, did everything.

Thick midfield

As the goal costs Spain a lot, and in defense it is not that it is very sure, it is possible to think that the center of the field is everything, but against Poland it was thick and slow, as if it cost more than normal. Rodri has been wasting away and Koke and Pedri did not shine against the Central Europeans, rather the opposite. If Spain does not move the ball well, it suffers a lot.

A very tepid defense

Lewandowski scored a goal after winning the position from Laporte with a light contact and Pau Torres also conveyed some weakness. In general terms, Spain seems like a very weak team, the murmurs have been triggered by the absence of Sergio Ramos. Isak already drove the centrals crazy and Lewandowski, alone, did what he wanted.

The goal returns, but in the singular

Morata scored, which is news, but Spain does not score. Against Poland he was able to solve with Gerard Moreno’s penalty, but the eleven meters show worrying statistics for the national team. On the sidelines, it does not materialize the chances it generates and the excuse of streaks is exhausted and that of the goal will come. Maybe it’s too late.

No changes to the plan

It may be a virtue of Luis Enrique to insist on his ideas, to take them to the extreme, but the truth is that his plan does not vary at all. There was only one change in the line-up (Moreno for Olmo) and the changes did not modify the system or the style at all. Spain is predictable at times and the rivals already know how to play it.

Little communion with the stands

There are not many reasons to get on the boat and the fans are not encouraged by the national team. The situation is strange in itself due to the pandemic, but Seville is not vibrating either and La Cartuja does not have a Eurocopa atmosphere.
