Spain, there is no margin of error against Switzerland

This time they will not fail. Across Switzerland as a local it has always been a rocky rival, the Spanish team reaches Geneva with the obligation to win the third game of the first round of UEFA Nations League (8:45 pm/La1). In the first place, because Luis Enrique’s staff need three points to continue relying on themselves to qualify for first place in group A2, giving them a ticket to the Final Four. And later, to clear the doubts left by the team after two initial draws, especially against Czech Republic. It is true that in both matches the Spanish team was superior, especially against Portugal, but in Prague there was nothing good against La Roja and after four days they had the first chance to claim themselves.

Locals will also not fire rockets. In fact, they come worse than that Spain. Switzerland lost its first two matches League of Nationsboth away from home. In addition, the difficult schedule meant they came with several players between the cottons. Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi and Ruben Vargas is doubt. Three important football players who will limit a little more to a selection that is not as valuable as the Spaniards. However, Murat Yakin will shake the eleven after the beating suffered against Portugal. To return to summer under the sticks, recovered, and all indicates that the eleven Sundays will remain only Rodriguez, Xhaka and Shaqiri.

But the Helvetians separated from their predecessors to be optimistic. In the last four years, Spain and Switzerland met four times. A victory for the Red, and at the lowest (1-0), and the rest, will draw. In the last precedent, in the quarterfinals of the last European Championship, the Spaniard went to the semifinals on penalties.

For its part, Luis Enrique all his players are available, though Ansu Fati eat separately at this concentration. In fact, in the first session of Switzerland, the coach worked alone with the Barça striker for half an hour. His participation remains unknown, but the idea is that the Barça striker is continuing his course and that the coach will rock again at eleven after the bad taste in the mouth that the match against the Czechs left. Major players are expected to return, such as Busquets either pass, Prague purchases, among others. And it is necessary to see if it gives a break Unai Simón, Gavi o Sarabia, the only starters in both games. The goalkeeper seemed out of touch, the teenager was less than eight minutes into two games and the player from Madrid, who played the entire game against Portugal, remained in the locker room for half an hour in the second game. And that’s it Luis Enrique manage forces and minutes in the final stages of the course.

Above all, optimism remains in the Spanish expedition, taking advantage of this concentration to form a group for the World Cup. In Switzerland, the second session was held yesterday at the Geneva Stadium, the home of the Servettewhere the meeting will be held today.
