This is following a generally well controlled match as Spain overcame the Czech Republic (1-0). Co-leader of Group D with Croatia, twice European champions must now bind in Nice, against Turkey. One game away from obvious face a frustrated nation out of its first match at the Parc and determined to make his state of warrior spirit to get back into the race for the fourth round. There remains the problem of the game background for the selection of Fatih Terim, unable to hold the ball against Croatia. Opposed to Roja still strong in conservation, the Turks will they have a game plan to get by.
La Roja is perhaps not yet fully settled defensively but offered some interesting phases facing a rather consistent Czech team before the bend in the dying minutes. Bodes well for the double
European champion.
Turkey has offered nothing offensively against Croatia in the opening Group D (0-1 defeat).
A forward line far from the only point of concern for Fatih Terim, who has to cope with an aging central hinge and a timid environment where Arda clearly has not had the expected radiation face the Croats.
Spain won 10 of their last 13 games played in the European Championship.
Housed in a point, Morata has yet to find automation with Nolito and Silva but could do a little worse every game.
Spain has not raised the crowds against the Czech Republic but is already beginning to see the traits of a team capable of doing significant damage to all defenses. Too slow with their behind-Balta Topal hinge and unable to give a minimum of possession when their leader Arda Turan does not meet this, the Turks should logically watch Roja play, and annoy. Infinitely superior to all the lines, the Roja will not relinquish anything to the Croats in the race for first place. solid victory of Spain.
