Jorge Vilda: Spain Can Go Toe To Toe With Any Team At The WEURO

Two pages with Spain’s head coach on the eve of a tournament many expected his side to win. Having scored forty-eight goals in eight qualifying games and finished the Arnold Clark Cup unbeaten, with a squad drawn heavily from the Barcelona side that had just filled the Camp Nou twice, Jorge Vilda argues that Spain can go toe to toe with anyone. He is more interested in style than in status: he wants supporters to see Spain playing the way they are known for even against the strongest opposition, and asks the fans travelling to England to stay with the team through the difficult passages, because however well a side is playing there are parts of every game where it is up against it. He also, cheerfully, asks for good weather.
