Haaland brakes

From that night she got a positive reading because “In less good situations you learn, as in good ones“. “We had an established script and we continued the same. We must recognize the things that have been done well, but there is still room for improvement“he said with a high degree of demand.

No fear with debutants

Today we were missing many and others came out at a very high level. We know the players and they reciprocate by performing at their best,” he commented.
His general assessment was that Spain played “a very complete game. We gave a feeling of dominance from start to finish. I’m always restless. “You don’t know when football can surprise you, but I had more peace of mind because I saw the team very confident.”
As for the hero of the match, Gavi repeated his praise: “Gavi is a fantastic player, an extraordinary boy and I really like him.”. I like everything a lot, even what you have to master. He always contributes with that character and has a lot of quality. He has a future, a present and we are happy that he is Spanish.”
