The national team match day was a wonderful one, with Spain hosting a challenge from the dark horse albania in a battle in the European zone. As the seventh-ranked team in the world, Enrique has set his sights on the World Cup in Qatar, which is an excellent training opportunity for them.
After the start of the game, the Spanish team showed a strong attack. In the fifth minute, Ferrantores broke through from the right and fired from a tight angle in one fell swoop, and the goalkeeper made a magical save. In the 20th minute, Pedri received a cross from Saravia and the follow-up push was blocked. In the 37th minute, it was Pedri who turned around in the box and then fired a left-footed shot that the goalkeeper did again. Finally, in the 46th minute, the Spanish team had a great opportunity, Rodri suddenly sent a cold arrow outside the penalty area, the ball had a strong rotation, and encountered refraction from the defenders during the flight, but unfortunately, the ball flew out of the right upright and did not have the opportunity to score.
In the 52nd minute, Salavia received Morata's header from inside the penalty area and hung the golden hook upside down, slightly above the crossbar. Under the tide of attack, Spain finally took the lead in the 74th minute. This time, thanks to Pino's counter-attack in the front, he immediately sent a subtle straight plug, and Ferrantores understood that he would plug in at high speed and push the far corner before the goalkeeper attacked, and the score came to 1-0. However, it didn't take long for the Spanish team to lax. In the 84th minute, Potores' header back to the goalkeeper was completely wrong, intercepted by the opponent, Uduany smiled and knocked the ball into the empty goal, making the score 1-1.
The Spaniards, however, were not discouraged by the slightly humiliating goal. In the 89th minute, Asensio launched an attack on the left, he picked up Alba, who observed a little, crossed the ball to Ormo in the box, then he decisively shot with his right foot, the ball made a beautiful arc in the air, and then went straight to the top right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper was also out of reach. With this four-seater, Spain beat Albania 2-1 at home and had the last laugh.
Although this game is a friendly match, the intensity is very large, although Albania is only 65 in the world ranking, not much more than the national football team, but they are also regular visitors to the World Cup, and they have repeatedly performed well, they are dark horses, and this time they are extremely tenacious on the road. Possession is Spain's absolute advantage, this time they reached 84%. It's a man in the ball. In terms of the number of shots on goal, Spain has only 12 and Albania has also had 6. It can be said that Spain really has brought the art of transmission control to the extreme. Their patience is amazing, every combination and shot is very careful about timing and running position, and they also deserve this victory.
After Enrique took office, the Spanish team also ushered in a qualitative change, and now a new golden generation has been born, Eric Garcia and Bertoles in the back line are the needles of the sea, the midfield is a tough player like Pedri, and Salavia, Torres and Olmer can be trusted at the front end. In this World Cup in Qatar, Spain's odds of winning the championship are also in fourth place, behind Brazil, France and England. Under successive victories, they are indeed closer to the Hercules Cup.
