Three days after the goalless draw in Serbia, Spain will play Switzerland in Geneva this Sunday, eager to show that the draw was a blip along the way, and not even the poor condition of the pitch is an excuse, the coach assured. “We have to adapt, we can’t do anything else,” said Luis de la Fuente, revealing that Rodri could return – the midfielder has not yet played for City this season due to the injury he suffered at Euro’2024. This is good news to add to everything that seems to be in the Spanish team’s favour. In addition to their greater quality, the team has never been defeated in Switzerland (8 wins in 11 games) and has not lost a game since March 2023 (2-0 in Scotland). That day, Luis de la Fuente changed the team a lot and paid dearly for the decision. However, yesterday he announced: “Given the context and the overload of games, we have to make changes.” Now, if De la Fuente doesn’t want to make excuses about the pitch, ‘Marca’ brought the matter to the front page of today’s edition with a blunt warning: “Be careful! The pitch is a mess…”, they headlined, reporting the “terrible state” of the match venue affected by “three fungi”.
