The Spanish team wants to start on the right foot against the group’s theoretical Cinderella
Spain is 48 hours away from debuting at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It will do so against the group’s theoretical Cinderella, Costa Rica, but La Roja history and the World Cups expect a tough match. The premieres in the World Cup are not easy for the big favourites: first day, nerves… And Spain is not good at that. He has won three consecutive World Cups without winning in his debut. The last win in the premiere dates back to Germany 2006 when they defeated Ukraine by 4 goals to 0.
The debut of Luis Enrique’s team will be more than one at work, and that the schedule is adapted as much as possible to European football. They debut at 7 p.m. in Qatar, at 5 p.m. in Spain. It will be the only group stage match in that timeslot, as the games in Germany and Japan are scheduled for 10pm local time -8am in Spain. Don’t forget that there is a two-hour difference between Qatar and Spain.
For those who are not at home, new technologies will be your solution.
The Spain-Costa Rica match can be followed live from 5 p.m. via La 1 de TVE and the accompanying mobile application. Those who have the Gol Mundial app can also enjoy the game.
The other match in the group, Germany v Japan, will be played in Spain at 2pm on November 23, just before the team’s debut.
Luis Enrique puts all the meat on the grill. The eleven will have nothing to do with last week’s in Jordan, plagued by substitutes and with a lot of rotations.
These are the eleven that the coach will choose a priori: Simón; Carvajal, Eric, Laporte, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Gavi, Pedri; Ferran, Asensio and Morata.
