Ferran Torres pointing to the ‘eleven’ holder of Spain in the World Cup debut next Wednesday against Costa Rica and he knows the game won’t be easy. “We know that Costa Rica are a very tough opponent who will lock us in because they can play with five at the back. It will be a difficult game, and the first one is usually the most complicated. We have to take the game to where we want,” he said this Sunday in his media appearance.
The ‘Tico’ team seemed to be the weakest of the bunch on paper, but inside the Spanish team kept their swords high and they were committed to not trusting themselves one bit. “The coach has a team of analysts who show us pictures of the rivals in their matches in the qualifying phase and in their final match against New Zealand. We check them to counter them. Playing against a team that locks is always more difficult because there are fewer spaces, but we will try to take it to our ground and get the three points”, he added.
