With Rodri controlling the midfield and dynamic wingers like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams causing chaos, Spain can dominate with possession and strike with pace. But do they have a weakness that could be their undoing?
Transcript
00:00Spain have to be favourites for the World Cup, and here's why.
00:03The Euro holders arrive in North America as the most complete team on the planet.
00:08Forget what you thought about tiki-taka, because Spanish boss Luis de la Fuente has added a lethal edge to
00:14it.
00:14With Rodri dictating the tempo, and wingers like Yalamin Yamal, Wenfit of course, and Nico Williams no doubt causing chaos,
00:20Spain can suffocate you with possession and then kill you with pace in a split second.
00:24They are a squad packed with talent all over, even if they lack a plan B of sorts.
00:29Without a top-level recognised centre-forward, they may have to rely on Ayatobal or Ferran Torres to play that
00:34central role.
00:35Not bad options to have at all, just maybe a little bit too similar.
00:39If their opponents sit in a deep block and they've got no answers, Spain could risk winning the possession battle,
00:44but still losing the war 1-0.
00:46Still, if you look at the quality they've got, I'd argue that no other team controls their own destiny as
00:52much as they do.
