The National Team is about to start its journey in Lithuania. Those of Fede Vidal will debut this Tuesday against Paraguay (17:00, GOAL) and, after having a double training session this Sunday, this Monday will be the last test to finalize the details at the Klaipeda Arena. Spain traveled with 16 players and two will be discarded before each game.
The tournament started this Sunday with four games and the most outstanding result was Russia’s win against Egypt (9-0). With Abramov as a star, they arrive dressed for the appointment and aspire to their first star. They showed themselves as a very compact block, albeit at a very inferior selection … which in theory was expected to give more war, since they reached the fourth place in the 2016 edition. Kazakhstan, another of the teams to follow, easily beat Costa Rica (6-1), with a great Higuita in goal. Guatemala achieved a huge victory against Uzbekistan.
The host Lithuania took a blow when they fell to Venezuela (1-2) in the debut of both teams in a World Cup. Today Brasi comes into action, the most successful team, against Vietnam (19:00, GOAL). At that same time, Ricardinho’s Portugal will come into action, which is measured against a Thailand that will not be, a priori, a simple rival. Meanwhile, Spain had a photo session at the official FIFA session and a video session to get to the debut against Paraguay in the best possible way. The venue has a capacity for about 6,000 spectators. However, it will not be able to host more than 50% of its capacity during this tournament, due to the health measures adopted by the authorities in the fight against Covid-19.
