By India Today Web Desk: Spain coach Luis Enrique mentioned that his workforce let the blockbuster FIFA World Cup match in opposition to Germany slip via their palms because it led to a draw.
Niclas Fullkrug cancelled out Alvaro Morata’s aim to maintain the five-time champions Germany alive within the match. The outcome means the groups have now total performed 9 attracts and a second draw of their World Cup clashes.
“There was a strange feeling in the changing room because we had the opportunity to beat Germany and we let it slip through our hands and that was a shame,” Luis Enrique mentioned in a press convention. “But we have to think that we are at the top of the so-called Group of Death and we have to stay positive.”
Enrique additional mentioned that Spain wouldn’t take Japan calmly and can take the sector to win regardless of main Group E with 4 factors.
“A draw against Japan on Thursday would probably send us through to knock-outs but we will not speculate. We will use our full strength and go for the win to secure the top in the group standings,” he mentioned.
Spain remained higher than Germany for many of the match and efficiently broke the impasse in 67th minute. However, the 83rd minute equaliser denied Spain a second consecutive win following their historic 7-0 win over Costa Rica.
Despite the draw, Germany stay within the backside of the Group of Death with one level. The five-time champions want a win over Costa Rica and pray for Japan’s defeat in opposition to Spain with a view to attain the knockout stage. But if Japan pull off a win then it will come all the way down to aim distinction or targets scored by Germany and Japan.
“Germany should not think about our game, they should focus on Costa Rica first because we are in the World Cup and every rival has their own quality,” Enrique mentioned.
“We lacked finesse and freshness throughout the match against Germany, lacked a little peace of mind. But we have a say in our changing room that pressure is a privilege. So we will deal with that naturally. If we want to play seven games (until the final) we need to give our best.”
