Spain vs Belgium: What’s been said?
Spain and Belgium have shared similar tales over the past decade, fielding two of the most talented squads in international football yet often falling short of their true ceiling.
Following a 1-0 win over Iberian rivals Portugal, the La Roja’s boss was asked would he rather play USMNT or Belgium.
He responded: “It doesn’t really matter. Anybody who we face is a team that will be worthy, because they’ve done what was needed to get there, and it will be even more challenging than what we’ve met so far.
“These are the kinds of circumstances that have marked us as a group. We have the competitive spirit and the football commitment that will keep us fighting to the very end.”
Mikel Merino was substituted on by the manager in the 85th minute if the match, and broke the deadlock five minutes later.
Following the game he said: “I’m really thankful to Luis, he’s someone who has given me his full confidence since the first game.
“As a player, the only thing I try to do is give that back to him with my play, with commitment, with respect.
“The relationship I have with him goes back 10 years, and that confidence as a player, you can’t do anything but give it everything you have.”
