The Norwegian coach stale solbakkenqualified this Tuesday, when the list was announced for the qualifying matches for the Eurocup against Spain and Georgia, to his Spanish teammate, Louis of Origin, as “more pragmatic” than its predecessor. “Maybe he is more pragmatic than Luis Enrique, more direct sometimes. The way he plays is also a little different, especially in the middle, where he can play with two midfielders,” he said at a press conference.
Solbakken emphasized, however, that De la Fuente was previously in charge of the U-21 team and that he was largely committed to the style that has characterized Spain in recent years.
The debut against Spain on the 25th at La Rosaleda and the three against Georgia constitute a “tough” start for Norway, admitted Solbakken, who declined to comment on how many points he would be satisfied with those are two matches.
“We have to remember that we started with the two most difficult games of the phase. Georgia is very good at home. After those two games, four out of five are at home. Everything we can get (against Spain and Georgia) is good.”, said.
Solbakken, who reiterated that 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 will continue with his usual plans, is nevertheless convinced that his team will qualify for the Eurocup, ending a two-decade streak- consecutively not playing the final stage. “I have good feelings. But obviously it will be tough. And I don’t think anything is decided until the last game,” he said.
