Álvaro Morata is synonymous with goals. A striker who scores as many goals as he receives criticism from public opinion, especially in matches with Spain. Criticisms that have nothing to do with the reality of a forward who is established as the offensive reference of a team that debuts against Croatia in a new Euro Cup this Saturday, June 15 at 6:00 p.m. A match where all the spotlights will once again turn to the leading striker of ‘La Roja’ and even more so after his statements.
These are the MarathonBet odds for Spain – Croatia:
- Spain 1909
- Tie 3.42
- Croatia 4.40
The Morata fortress
“Many times my five-year-old children do not understand why there are people who have so much anger against their father”said Álvaro Morata in an interview in The spar of the SER Chain. Some words that have opened a debate about the criticism that the forward receives almost constantly when he puts on the red jersey of Spain almost automatically.
Perhaps that is why, as he himself acknowledged, he feels better playing outside of Spain. A better version that he will be able to show again in a EURO that begins with the memory of the semifinals achieved just three years ago when they were eliminated in the penalty shootout. Final phases in which Morata has already scored six goals, being the Spaniard who has scored the most times at this stage of the championship.
And it is not the only record that the Madrid striker has achieved. He’s also leaving his mark on the list of top scorers in the history of the National Team where he is already third. He has been able to score up to 35 goals, equaling David Silva. And he is only three goals behind Fernando Torres, the same distance he has to be the second highest scorer in a European Championship final phase, equaling Michel Platini.
These are the MarathonBet odds for Spain’s total goals:
- Score 2 goals 2.29
- Score 3 goals 4.60
- Score 4 goals 11.00
Some data that shows why Luis de la Fuente does not want to do without Álvaro Morata and for him he is a fixture in the calls, as he admitted in Good night, good goals with Felipe del Campo in BRAND Radio: “He is our center forward and I defend him tooth and nail because he deserves it. He is a footballer who is not recognized for everything he has done. It seems that we deny the value they have to those at home and he has great value world figure. For us it is very important and for me it is indisputable in the call.” A few words of praise for a striker who will go down in history for his goals.
