Convince Pedri and Spain in the final test before the Euro Cup

Pedro González he’s back And with it the illusion of Choosing Spanishwho hit Northern Ireland before traveling to Germany with a double from the Canary Islands. The Barça midfielder led Luis de la Fuente’s team a week before the Euro Cup debut against Croatia. Morata, Fabián and Oyarzabal also scored.

It was a full dress rehearsal, especially after seeing the eleven that the coach presented. A team in which he gave hints about what will be seen against the Balkans in Berlin. As for the test against Andorra, only Pedri and Morata, two of the players who needed rhythm and confidence, repeated. A priori, from the theoretical gala only eleven Carvajal, Laporte and Olmo are missing, even given what was seen in Palma, which remains open.

The trial before the British began with fear. Ballard scored in the first minute after Le Normand’s error, erratic yesterday. The Real centre-back lost the ball and ended up with a lateral foul on Bradley who scored the first goal of the game. Boyd-Munce served from distance and the unbalanced defense between Nacho and Nico was taken advantage of by the Irish centre-back, who came in with everyone, to head a ball past Unai Simón.

Ireland’s surprise early goal woke up Spain, who equalized ten minutes later thanks to a Pedri lash from the edge. The canary appeared between the lines to offer himself to Nacho. He accepted it, turned away and did not think. A shot with his right foot to level the match and make his debut as a scorer for his country.

A burst of joy from Pedri, who grew on his target. Although the one who needs to score the most is Morata. It didn’t take long either. The captain of the red team took advantage of a wonderful cross from Jesús Navas shortly after the tie. A trademark academic header to make it 2-1 and feel like a scorer again.

The Spanish team went into steamroller mode and unleashed their offensive arsenal on the wings to take the game away. First on the left. Great play by Cucurella and Nico Williams before half time, centering behind the Athletic attacker and, appearing from the second line, Peter He put his boot in to score the third. Soon, the goal came from the right. Great move by Lamine Yamal to cut inside, dodge two rivals and flick a delicate cross to the far post in Messi style. This time it was Fabián Ruiz who surprisingly came in fourth.

The second half served From the origin I just did some tests. He changed the two sides at half-time. Carvajal had to come off and shared the minutes on the left to finish plucking the daisy against Croatia. After a while they entered Laporte, who could use another friendly, and Oyarzabal, who maintained his streak in Mallorca. Action on the right by Lamine, who again assisted, and the Real striker finished first from the near post.

That’s where the game ends. Northern Ireland He only threatened the Spanish goal on one occasion, but Unai appeared to block Price’s point-blank shot. Joselu, the last to enter, also had a chance, but his shot rose. Spain closed the preparations for the Euro with another hand. Now it’s time to think about Croatia. The good begins.
