Era el primer partido de la selección española en territorio nacional después de ganar la Eurocopa. Dinamarca no ha podido dar la sorpresa en tierras murcianas y ‘La Roja’ se ha impuesto gracias al acierto del mediocentro de la Real Sociedad.
Estas son las valoraciones individuales de los jugadores españoles que han participado en este encuentro internacional.
settled
He has earned the title due to Unai’s injury but he conveys enormous security. With his feet he is a guarantee and he is brave and daring when out.
6 Accelerated
He regularly played on the right wing although he lacked a better understanding with Lamine. Sometimes he went up his lane with intensity without understanding that the Barça player was already occupying that space. He improved in the second half and even looked for the outside shot.
6 Convenient
The Athletic center back had more work in the first half although, in general, it was a placid match for the Spanish defense. In set pieces he is always a threat.
6 Quiet
The left-handed defender did not have to work hard either in defense or to get the ball out since the Danes did not exert high pressure that made the center backs uncomfortable.
5 Decreasing
It started very strongly and with a key presence in the game but as the minutes passed it faded. He tried it with a set piece but was not too inspired. He always tried it but with more desire than success.
7 Decisive
He was not completing his best game but he managed to open the scoring with a volley that Schmeicheal could not catch in the only error by the Danish goalkeeper. He was correct in the direction of the Spanish midfield.
6 Dynamic
He didn’t have the brilliance of other games but his physical presence to occupy a lot of space is essential in this team. He was not particularly good in the circulation of the ball. He improved like the entire team after the break. He had a very close goal with a spectacular outside kick.
5 Discreet
The accumulation of players inside made it very difficult for him to enter the game with a desirable frequency. It gives the impression that he is more comfortable as an interior player than as a midfielder so close to the area and away from the development of the game. He was replaced by Mikel Merino in the 62nd minute.
7 Fundamental
He is the most dangerous player in Spain. In a first half without much presence, he had the two best chances to score. The Danes tried to stop him hard with numerous fouls. He tried the outside kick with danger. Without being able to show his best version, he pulled out of the national team. He was replaced in the added time by Sergio Gómez who made his senior debut.
5 Fighter
The center forward worked his butt off pressing and fighting but without much offensive brilliance. He had two clear opportunities but Schmeicheal won the game. It may be more or less correct but it always provides unconditional dedication.
5 Tasteless
He tried to create danger from the inside but never achieved his goal. The Danes knew how to control it and at no time were they able to unbalance the space or looking for one-on-one. Álex Baena replaced him in the 62nd minute.
5 Arrival
In the last half hour he occupied Pedri’s place as a playmaker. He did not have much presence in the game although he tried to contribute from the second line.
6 Revulsive
He came on for Oyarzábal and gave more energy and clarity to Spain’s game. He couldn’t show his great ability to assist but his presence improved the game.
5 Threat
He had 13 minutes to exploit his virtues as a finisher. He had no potions to show his power.
