It is often said that what works is not touched. For this reason, no big news is expected in Luis Enrique’s line-up for the match between Spain against Croatia on Monday in Copenhagen corresponding to the round of 16 of the European Championship .
The Asturian coach did revolutionize the team against Slovakia in search of that spark that the national team needed and it turned out well. In the goal, therefore, Unai Simón will repeat. The Vitorian goalkeeper has been chosen since the beginning of the tournament and will continue to be in charge of guarding the Spanish goal.
In defense no changes are expected either. Azpilicueta’s entry brought balance and seniority to the team, so he will continue on the right side. It also seems that Eric García , who started against Slovakia, will start again to accompany an Aymeric Laporte who has won the untouchable poster for Luis Enrique. Jordi Alba will start on the left side.
Busquets will wear the captain’s armband in a midfield in which Koke and Pedri will again accompany him. The Atlético de Madrid midfielder is the ideal complement to help both in creation and destruction, while the Canarian, who has played everything in this European Championship , provides the vision the team needs to break spaces with genius.
At the top of the attack, Luis Enrique will bet on Álvaro Morata again . Despite the lack of success of the ‘7’, who missed a penalty in the last game, confidence in him remains intact. Pablo Sarabia was the great novelty in the last eleven and his good performance has earned him a place on the right side. Thus, Gerard Moreno, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres would play the last vacant place in a team that seeks the quarterfinals.
