The Spaniards lost twice a week ago in Eden and saved the draw with a goal in the 90th minute. “In order to win, we definitely have to improve a lot. In my opinion, the Czech team is in absolutely great condition, it’s a top team. Matches with the Czechs are always challenging, because they play in a different way than we are used to. It didn’t suit us very well. In Prague they played with great dedication and enthusiasm, in a good number of players they folded around the lime and created a barrier there, which we found difficult to overcome, “Enrique told a press conference in Malaga.
“We definitely have to improve the defense in particular. After losing the ball, we must not allow the Czechs the situations in which they scored goals in Prague. If we lose the ball, we will try to get it back immediately. I think we will still have the opportunity to show what we can do. is a lot of chances and turn them into goals, “added the 52-year-old coach.
The defender Jordi Alba is also waiting for a similar match as a week ago. “We will want to start actively. The Czechs had problems defending us with fast breaks in the first match, it was quite a complicated match. Let’s hope that it will turn out well tomorrow. After all, we play at home, so we long for victory more than ever,” said Alba.
His team won 1-0 in Switzerland on Thursday, winning the group for the first time and losing two points to Portugal in second place in the table. The Spaniards have a good point for the Czech team after three of the six rounds. “The last match of the extremely demanding season awaits us, there were a lot of matches. We have to end the season victorious so that we can enjoy our holiday as best we can,” said the left defender of Barcelona.
The Spaniards will present themselves in Malaga for the first time since November 2017 and will win 5-0 in preparation for Costa Rica. The local club from the port city in the very south of the country, where temperatures are currently around 30 degrees, has only narrowly stayed in the second league.
“It’s like you haven’t been to a concert in a long time and a good singer comes to town. In Andalusia, the enthusiasm for football is huge. When the federation told us that tickets were sold out in 15 minutes, it shows what a football city it is like. Enrique said.
“It’s nice. We’ve played here a few times and you can see how people here in Andalusia like football. There may be even more enthusiasm than anywhere else. I hope we give people a pleasant experience and it will be a magical night,” Alba added.
