Although the Spain under-19 team He qualified for the European Championship after losing Albanian 5-0, goalless draw against Belgium allowing them to climb to first place in Group 7 to do so in a big way, as leaders. An equalizer like glory after the Belgian team managed to put the National Team in trouble for most of the match in lights and shadows for Spain.

the chooser Santi Denia decided to do two rounds in a blaugrana key with respect to the last game against Albanian. joel rock enter on the far right instead of Fabius White (which shone in the victory against the Albanian team) and simo took the central position instead Arnau Casas.

With these two changes, the Spanish team sought, as we always do, the ball control throughout the meeting. Something he managed to find especially in the early stages of the match, where they put the Belgian defense in trouble on more than one occasion. But the high pressure exercised by the Belgian team that caused the game of the National Team to become something more imprecise than usual, especially after half an hour of playing.

That was then Belgium He sought his chance at transitions after losing the ball of ‘little red’and they are about to do damage, but the goalkeeper Cesar Fernandez was helpful to avoid the goal, although the post also had to appear to avoid another target opportunity by Julien Duranville. And it is both he and Samuel Mbangula They are a constant danger on the wings. Spain knows how to suffer at the worst moment to reach the tables in the second half.

In the second half Spain he composed himself and reached the rival goal with more effort to overcome the bad drink in the first half. There is only one change, that of azulgrana Arnau Casaswho returned to the eleven to replace simo behind A few minutes later Iker Bravo He managed to send a warning to the Belgian team with a left footed shot that crashed into the crossbar. Selection is showing its teeth again.

Tie with a taste of success for getting a pass in the European count first in the groupalthough there is a bitter point, because Spain’s game was not as dazzling as usual against a Belgium who locked up, pressed and looked for a goal in transitions with great pace and offensive quality they have to their credit. Time for a review before the European competition.
