When the final signal sounded at Friends Arena on Thursday night and it was clear that Sweden won 2-1, Spain was put in a difficult position.

They now no longer have everything in their own hands but have to rely on other results.

- It worries me that we can no longer control ourselves how it goes, says the Spanish national team captain.

In the Spanish media, the national team receives criticism.

"Tough to be optimistic"

“Getting a direct ticket to the World Cup is now complicated.

The team did not know what they would do to win in Solna, without goals, fragile, sometimes shaken by the Swedish attack, doubts that were multiplied ", writes Marca.

AS writes "Red alarm" and "Qatar is a little further away and that is not a good sign.

Spain had three times as many passes but that did not lead to any real danger. "

- It is tough right now to be optimistic but I have to focus on what we need to do, which is to win all matches and hope that Sweden plays a draw and of course loses against us.

We will see if it is possible, says Luis Enrique
