The exit of the Spanish national team to the final of the World Football Championship - only the other in the history of the region - can be a wonder to anyone, but for team captain Rodri this is a logical result of a trivial and painstaking work. For the past week, at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford (New Jersey), Furia Roja has been under intense pressure: the battle for the crown of light against the venerable champion, the Argentine national team..
Volodar of the Golden Ball 2024 to the fate of Rodri says that the foundation of this success was laid by victories in the League of Nations in 2023 and the participation in the European Championship in 2024. Before the main match of the tournament, I want to instill in my teammates fearlessness and a thirst for victory, which will overcome the fear of defeat.
" It’s our responsibility to continue to work at the same time, because this is a process that has destroyed five fates,” Rodri said at the hour of the Friday press conference..
Pivzahisnik threw out a stereotype about those who say that Spain is a team of one brand and style. In his words, the head power of this team lies in its very toughness:.
" We are a strong team, and that’s why we’re here,” adding.
The Spanish progress to the final is disappointing: the team conceded only one goal in seven games of the tournament, beating their opponents with a 13:1 score (after a sensational opening draw against Cape Verde). In the playoffs, the team showed character, defeating Portugal in the 1/8 finals thanks to Mikel Merino's late goal, knocking out Belgium in the quarter-finals and finally defeating their neighbors France (2:0).
Goalkeeper Unai Simon has become a reliable stand behind with his nine impressive saves. As the war against the French looms large, Rodri realizes the scale of the week-long protest:.
“I think that against France we had one of the greatest games as a team, but against Argentina we need to rise to a new level, because they are champions. And I truly sing what we can earn,” said Rodri.
Guess what, it became known earlier that Rodri did not turn on the transfer after the World Cup.
