It will surely not have escaped you, the Spanish selection is a little in panic before embarking for the Euro. For good reason, Sergio Busquets tested positive for the coronavirus a few days before the start of the competition, forcing his staff to place La Roja under cover while awaiting further results. A situation to scratch the head to the skeleton that affects our national DD, full of empathy for the Iberian coach. “I’m putting myself in Luis Enrique’s shoes for a moment, and it can’t be easy. “
Well seen, Didier. It’s so complicated that Spain will line up its U21s, fresh out of their Euro, for their last preparation match against Lithuania. Suffice to say that it will be an unnecessary meeting for group A, hello the lack of rhythm.
How to define the contact cases?
Didier Deschamps also returned to words he had said a little earlier in the pre-competition preparation about the prohibitive nature of contamination. “It’s ultimately a little more complicated than that. It seems to me that everything depends on the health protocol in force in each country. Busquets has not been fired as they have their first game on June 14. I don’t know if the Spaniards felt they were in contact. These are tough situations to deal with. How to define contact cases? Is it in relation to those who were next to him at the table, in the locker room, or is it everyone (breath) ? Even if we do everything correctly, we are not immune, ”concludes the French coach, who is familiar with the headache of contact cases since Kylian Mbappé tested positive last fall.
