Upon your return to Der Öschberghof, the hotel complex in Donaueschingen where you are concentrated in the heart of the Black Forest, The Spanish National Team will live two days in a kind of limbo of uncertainty while it waits meet his rival next Sunday at the Müngersdorfer Stadion in Cologne (9:00 p.m.). Luis de la Fuente’s team will face one of the best third parties in group A (Hungary) and groups D, E or Fwhich are aired between this Tuesday and this Wednesday.
Spain could still be responsible for tough teams like the Netherlands, France or Belgium; and others of lower level but of certain danger such as Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Turkey, Georgia, Slovakia or Romania. Of the twelve teams in those groups, only Polandremoved, and PortugalFirst, they could not correspond to you in any case.
Article 21 of the competition regulations is what regulates which best third party the group leaders will face. 21.05 specifies that, in a range of 15 possible combinations, the National Team, first in group B, can face the third in group A in three of them, Hungary (20% chance). Spain only has 13.3% of facing the third in group D (Netherlands, France and Austria). And then, they would have a 33.3% chance of meeting the third in group E (Romania, Ukraine, Belgium and Slovakia) or group F (Turkey, Georgia or the Czech Republic). In any case, it is difficult for Spain to know its rival before Wednesday night.
Logically, the message that will be transmitted from behind the doors of the Der Öschberghof rally is that Any rival is respected in the same way. Qatar’s bad experience against Morocco, when everyone took the team’s passage to the quarterfinals for granted, has permeated the locker room, which wants to go with lead feet. But no one is aware that they would get out of trouble if they avoid the runners-up in the world, the Netherlands or Belgium. The National Team will have at least three full days to prepare for the match before traveling to Cologne on Sunday.
Another debate has to do with the amount of time that the National Team will be without playing until the day of the match, especially the starters who rested against Albania. However, Luis de la Fuente’s team is not worried about that at this point in the season. It’s more, The rest is partly appreciated, as it will allow us to recharge the batteries of a team that, if all goes well, could play four very high-level games in two weeks.: In case of victory in the round of 16, they would play the quarterfinals in Stuttgart on July 5. Then, on the 9th, the semifinals. And, finally, on the 14th, the dream final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
The mentality, for the moment, seems correct; and The players have assimilated well the fact of being concentrated in a place almost isolated from the outside world because they have exemplary facilities in which, they highlight, they do not lack anything to do their job well, which this month is playing football. From the paradise of Der Öschberghof they will wait for the definitive news about the rival to get their act together.
