Former coach of Spartak Raúl Riancho commented on the defeat of the Spanish team by the Japanese team at the World Cup.
It was a bad match for Spain. Luis Enrique’s team was on the verge of relegation. In some ways, the Spaniards resemble the Russian national team: they can defeat an opponent, play high-quality football with a favorite, and unexpectedly lose to a stranger. Luckily we Spaniards are as lucky as the Russians.
The Luis Enrique team is capable of a lot. I hope the players correct their mistakes and come out more energized and motivated for the round of 16 against Morocco.
