The Spanish team will do everything to become the sole leader in its group. Football. ua I am sure that today the "fury" will gain three points.
Form of the Croatian national team It would seem that the away draw in the match against Portugal is a very good result, but the Croats have disappointed. First of all, the content of the game. For the entire second half, the guests only went several times to half the field of the opponent and eventually for 45 minutes only once struck the gate.
The Portuguese have created a lot of time at the gate of Lovre Kalinich, and more skillful Spaniards will create a goalkeeper and protect the Croats even more problems.
The strength of Spain The Spaniards were not the favorite of an away match against England, but Luis Enrique did not have any problems in Britain. Yes, the British scored first, but the guests quickly gave an answer and already to a break led in the account. The Spaniards easily won the fight for the center field, and in such matches it is almost the main task.
Saul, Alcantara and Busquets have stymied midfield rival, whose leader was Henderson. It is significant that it was the player of Liverpool who completely failed the match. Today, the Spaniards will have more serious rivals - Modric and Rakitic, but it seems that Enrique, understanding the strength of the Croats in the center of the field, will focus on the flanks and will be successful.
The huge problems of Croats with the composition of Bourne Barisic, Ivan Santini and Matej Mitrovic. Do you know these guys? Hardly. And they are very likely to leave today in the starting lineup for the match against Spain. The Croatians brilliantly hosted the World Cup, but after the tournament the national team was facing big problems. Subashic, Manjukich and Corluka completed their international career and Dalich urgently needs to look for a substitute.
And it happens right on the League of Nations. We look further. Domagoy Vida and Dejan Lovren are the defenders, thanks to whom the Croats reached so far at the World Championships. And they are both traumatized. Also, due to damage on the field, Rebic and Kramaric.
Many will say that all these problems are not so important, because on the field will be Modric, Rakitic and Perisic, but let's face it. Against the Spaniards this is unlikely to be enough.
The duel between Spain and Croatia will start today at 21:45 Kiev time. Watch the text online broadcast on Football. ua.
