Spain U-21 Ready to Face Lithuania in Test Match
2021-06-13 22:09 MADRID--The coach of the Spanish U-21 national team Luis de la Fuente is ready to become Luis Enrique's assistant during a friendly match against Lithuania seniors, Wednesday (9/6) early morning WIB.
Indeed, the Spain Euro 2020 squad will be against Lithuania but the news that Sergio Busquets has been confirmed positive for Covid-19 has made preparations chaotic.
Busquets should be treated by a medical team for further treatment. Although his teammates tested negative, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) decided to field Spain U-21s against Lithuania.
This situation does require immediate action from the RFEF. And the decision was taken for Spain U-21 who just played in the European Under-21 Championship last week.
"48 hours ago I was in Slovenia, yesterday at home and here today," Fuente said in an interview with Marca , reported by Football Espana, Tuesday (8/6).
According to Fuente, in a desperate situation, an extraordinary solution is needed. The team he leads must also be ready to fight in critical situations. He made sure the players and staff were determined to deliver the win.
"Tomorrow is a beautiful day because my boys will show their potential," he said.
Spain coach Luis Enrique will make an announcement regarding Busquets' involvement at Euro 2020 this week. Jordi Alba is ready to replace him as captain.
In the previous friendly, La Roja played a goalless draw against Portugal. Supporters criticized the appearance of several Spanish players in the match, including Alvaro Morata. But Enrique defended him and said he played well.
Spain are in Group E along with Sweden, Poland and Slovakia. Spain will play their first match at the Euros against Sweden on June 15.
