For the ex player of the Bayern Munich, to Spain is missing him ambition and desborde to do more effective his game. "In Qatar, Spain played to the rondo, that, as we know, does not involve to mark goals.

In 2014, when they lost against us in the final of Maracaná , his mates seemed to be expecting it so that it solved all alone. In 2022, they play for him and it is expecting his moment. This type of histories produce a value added further of the sportive", expressed the ex defender.
