last step is left to Spain to reach the end of the Olympic Games. It looks so close that it seems incredible that 21 years have passed since the last time the national team opted for a gold medal at an Olympic event. Now there are two more obstacles left, and the first one will not be easy at all. Neither more nor less than the host team.

And to win Japan Luis de la Fuente it will change its man of reference in attack. The three goals of Rafa mir against Ivory Coast They will have their reward and the Murcian will start. The former striker of the Huesca giving life to Spain and has earned having more opportunities. If in the 59 minutes that he has had in the championship, he has been able to do a hat trick, to have two occasions in each previous meeting and to be key in both Oyarzabal versus AustraliaWe will see what he is capable of against the veteran Japanese defense. His power, speed and ability to finish can finish with the premises.

And for the Spanish scorer to start Luis de la Fuente you will have to move the tree again. Marco Asensio will be the sacrificed and will start on the bench. Again less quantity but more quality are expected in the minutes of the Balearic Islands.

It will also happen to the band Mikel Oyarzabal. The realist will stop playing between the lines to leave the defenders without references in attack to fall to the left. Its overflow, speed and precision in the centers can be key so that Rafa mir repeat any of the actions from last Friday.

Beyond the shirts worn by both teams and the name of each team, the similarities between the friendly match between Kobe two weeks ago and today will be pure coincidence. Spain it’s a totally different team. Then he added a training session with the entire squad and had barely been in the country for 72 hours. Now he has been on his lap for 380 minutes of competition, he has adapted to the conditions of Japan and several of his players seem to have been playing together their whole lives.

Thus, with the return of Oscar Gil to the right band, the continuity of Miranda on the left and the presence of Zubimendi, Merino and Pedri in the spinal cord, Spain will try to finish off a team that has been waiting for this match for five years. Are the Japan Games, but have been unlucky enough to meet Spain by the way.
