Spain under'21
, who would have thought it, found the solution to its problems on the
Levante
bench
.
There is usually
Dani Gómez
, usually pushed to the substitution by
Roger Marti
.
And he also started in a tracksuit in
Luis de la Fuente's team
, but faced with the traffic jam in
Spain,
the coach decided to turn to him, with an optimal result: two goals in nine minutes to defeat the
Czech Republic
and that the national team guarantee their presence. in the
quarterfinals of the European
as the first of his group.
An appointment to be held on
May 31 in Maribor
(
Slovenia
) against the second classified of group B, which closes this Wednesday.
Portugal, Croatia, Switzerland and England
are the four possible rivals.
Until Dani entered the field, Spain lived installed in frustration.
Some more showy than effective skirmishes by
Puado and Barrenetxea
one of the novelties in the eleven together with Pipa,
Pedrosa and Moncayola were
almost Spain's only resource to intimidate a sticky and generous opponent in the defensive effort.
The dominance belonged to
Luis de la Fuente's players
but, as happened to them in the match against Italy, they were not capable of transforming that superiority at times.
Just two far and deflected kicks from Manu García in the entire first half, as well as a pass behind Puado that Barrenetxea narrowly missed.
Spain missed the clairvoyance of
Zubimendi
, suffering from a blow to the ribs.
After half an hour, De la Fuente already sent him to warm up, but the test on the band was not positive and now the one that trembles is
Real
, which has him for the
Cup
final
this Saturday against
Athletic
.
He had to watch from the bench how Spain continued to play with fire, as a goal from the Czechs, added to the win by Italy also classified Slovenia, would have left the U21 out of the European Championship.
But the calm ended up arriving after Dani Gómez replaced a misguided
Abel Ruiz
at the attack point
.
Four minutes later,
Guillamón
observed Barrenetxea's unchecking much more decisive since he went from left to right and the Real winger served it flat to Dani to overtake Spain from the small area.
The Levante forward was going to round off his big day with the national jersey nine minutes later, with a violent cross shot that sealed the first place for Luis de la Fuente's team.
Goal accomplished.
