Mikel Merino, midfielder for Real Sociedad, the “good image” he gave was left behind Spain “in the first half” and lamented the “difficult night” because of the defeat against Scotland at Hampden Park (2-0), which he assured would help them “to learn”.
“A difficult night for us, we came here with enthusiasm after a very good first day. The team today gave a good image, the first part we gave signs of what we want to reach. We know this is a very tough team that will give us a war How is the field? We had clear chances but the post and its goalkeeper prevented the goal and they were able to score the second in transitions”, he analyzed Teledeporte.
Mikel Merino highlighted the impetus of the Spanish team in search of a reaction, convinced that a goal can change the course of the game. “Knowing how they play 5-4-1 and the lines are very close, withdrawn on a field where the ball runs slowly, it’s not easy to tickle them. The team tried in every way. If we had scored one, the game would have changed completely. It is a defeat that teaches us. We have just started together and it will suit us well for the future,” he said.
Mikel Merino asked for an unsigned penalty and asked for the defeat to be beyond doubt. “There is no doubt, we are clear about it. From the beginning the coach gave us the tools and sent us the ideas, we were clear about it. Lots of work ahead, we have to improve but the road is long and we have the peace of mind to get things right.”
