Spain has turned the debate around in two games. The Eurocopa began for Luis Enrique’s men with a worrying lack of goal. The number of occasions that the national team generated in the games against Sweden and Poland were rewarded with a single goal. 180 minutes of siege against the rival goal, but the wet powder filled the national team with doubts.
Everything changed in the duel against Slovakia . The first final for Spain despite being the last game of the group stage. It was only worth winning to make sure they were in the round of 16 without having to depend on anyone and they did. Great victory and five goals. All the balls that had not wanted to enter the first two games kissed the net against the Slovak team.
Spain had uncorked a cava that continued in effervescence against Croatia . Another five goals to go to the quarterfinals and make the Spanish team the highest scoring team in this European Championship with 11 goals . Luis Enrique’s men are followed with nine targets by Italy and Denmark , two teams that are classified for the quarterfinals. Behind them, with eight, are the Netherlands, who were eliminated against the Czech Republic.
Belgium has also scored eight goals, while Portugal , who were eliminated against the Belgians, finished the tournament with seven goals, as did France , which did not earn the three goals against Switzerland to go to the quarterfinals and Croatia . Precisely the Swiss, who have also scored seven times, will be the rivals of the Spanish team in Saint Petersburg.
Now Spain has to be more aware of the defense than of the forward. The three goals that Croatia made to the national team leave a trace of concern within the National Team . Those of Luis Enrique have to be more serious behind in the following qualifying rounds.
