The 2022 World Cup in Qatar continues, with today a highlight of the group stage, Spain vs Costa Rica. In this World Cup, most of the players in the Spanish team are from their home Barça and Real Madrid clubs, as well as players from Manchester City and Paris, and the overall depth of the team is quite good. Costa Rica has improved significantly in recent years, with the most recognizable player in the squad coming from Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Let's take a look at the details of the two teams, starting with Spain. In this World Cup, Spain and Germany, Japan and Costa Rica are in the same group, and the strength of the three opponents in the group is comprehensively evaluated, and this group can be called the group of death. In the first match, facing the weakest Costa Rica, Spain had no way back and had to win. Once the debut is lost, the pressure on Spain will be very high against Germany and Japan, and the probability of leaving the group will be greatly increased. Don't learn from Argentina, the opponents in the Argentine group are weak and have the capital to lose. Spain do not dare to take it lightly, every game must be played as the last game, to fight every opponent, to win every three points.
As a traditional and established strong team in world football, Spain's squad has changed significantly this tournament. The squad is very young and more popular, and the vast majority of the players in the squad have never played in the World Cup before, which may be a big reason why Spain will not go far. In an international tournament of the level of the World Cup, if there are no veterans in the team, it is difficult to play well with only young people. Even if these young people are the stars of their respective clubs, you must know that the nature of the World Cup and the club are completely different. There is still a way back for club games to lose, and once a World Cup game is lost, there is no way back. However, I am still very much looking forward to the young players in Spain and hope that they can bring more surprises to the fans.
Let's look at the situation in Costa Rica, being in the death group, as the weakest team among them, Costa Rica is very distressed. However, Costa Rica is quite rich in experience with death squads. At the 2014 World Cup, Costa Rica was in the same group as Italy, Uruguay and England, a veritable death group. However, after three group games, Costa Rica not only did not be eliminated, but qualified as the first place in the group, shocking the whole world. That cup, Costa Rica eventually reached the quarterfinals and became a big dark horse. Therefore, with the experience of successfully qualifying in 2014, the Qatar World Cup, Costa Rica is not panicked at all, losing normally, winning and making a big profit, it is definitely a stable transaction.
At 12:00 this evening, the 2022 Qatar World Cup Group E group stage Spain vs Costa Rica, CCTV5 sports channel live broadcast, everyone must not miss this wonderful competition.
