Germany challenges Spain after 10 months of "international" stop

The first round, which lasts for three days, witnesses important matches that begin tomorrow, Thursday, with a meeting between two giants, Germany and its guest Spain, in the fourth group of the first level.


La Roja will be a guest in Stuttgart to the world champion in 2014 in Brazil, in the first competitive match that brings together the two teams since the 2010 World Cup semi-finals, which Spain settled with a clean goal by Carles Puyol before going ahead and winning the final at the expense of the Netherlands in South Africa. .

Coach Luis Enrique has called up Barcelona's young winger Ansu Fati (17 years) for the first time to the national team, in addition to Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara, while he lost the efforts of Wolverhampton's Adama Traore, who was called for the first time to the national team due to his "Covid" -19 »Like Real Sociedad player Mikel Oriazabal.
