Luis Enrique’s men trained at the University of Qatar as a precaution in the absence of Asensio
Spain trained for the first time yesterday in the facilities of the International University of Qatar, the headquarters of this World Cup. After a morning rest after arriving from Amman at dawn, beating Jordan by solvency in the final dress rehearsal for the Doha appointment, Luis Enrique’s men had a recovery session in which Asensio did not jump green as a precaution after he passed the gym. The Real Madrid footballer was one of the most outstanding players in the friendly match, along with Ansu Fati, Gavi and Nico Williams, who again took advantage of the minutes given to him by the Asturian coach and scored La Roja’s third goal. Guillamón was not there either, among cotton in this concentration.
Media representatives from the five continents – with a large Hispanic American presence – gathered at the spectacular Qatari academic institution to watch a twenty-minute open training session for the press. A few meters from the field assigned to the Spaniards, the Argentina internationals trained in parallel, which shares the extensive facility with La Roja, both the sports practice area and the wings of the buildings in which the rooms are arranged. They are together but not jumbled together as there is enough distance between them for intimacy to prevail. The players from the Netherlands were also getting ready nearby, although the latter have chosen a different place to sleep.
The work from today will focus on the debut next Wednesday against Costa Rica, in what will be the moment of truth. Yesterday the footballers timidly warmed up in the middle of an intense heat despite the fact that it was already dark at seven in the evening in this corner of the Persian Gulf and later the coach ordered three groups to form to make circles in which the ball He moved faster and faster. Some fans waited for the team at one of the center’s entrances, but could not see their own because they had arrived at the site through a different entrance and because the training ground was not open to the public. The session did serve to verify the media appeal of La Roja, which wants to make up for the fiascos at the World Cups in Brazil and Russia in Qatar.
