I have no doubt how we should play. Yesterday, I was watching U19 Euro Final between Spain and Germany. The boys were playing exactly the same way than the seniors. They beat Germany 2-0. This is the way. We can not compete physically against France , just hide the ball and let them chasing shades....

It was clunky, out of the pace i enjoy, i gave the point for boring Kickball, and i honestly think this is Spain's path, make it boring to France and you'll get the shot to reach the finals.

If this was the NBA season it would've been settled yesterday Merino is the clutch player of the tournament no doubt about it

Make it slow, make it boring and bring the 2nd star home
