Spain’s group stage exit and subsequent dependence on other teams’
performances is not how the team envisioned progressing to the World Cup’s
knockout phase.
Spain advanced to the round of 16, but a 2-1 loss to Japan left them with
battered confidence heading into their match against Morocco.
Spain’s head coach Luis Enrique said after Thursday’s game, “We have to
recuperate emotionally.” We’ll be facing one of the tournament’s biggest
surprises, so we must be at the top of our game. You need to step up your
game, as there are now only 16 teams left in the event. Very challenging.
