'The Red' begin his stop of selections with a 'hit' deserved by the passivity. Between James Rodríguez and Luis Díaz took out to relucir the lacks of a selection that, in the middle of the rotations, did not find comfort and suffered more than the account to generate occasions. The positive note has been the debut of Pau Cubarsí that turns into the youngest defender in dressing the T-shirt, advancing to Sergio Bouquets. Of face to the crash against Brazil, there is a lot for improving.
It has not been comfortable Spain in his friendly against Colombia. Luis de la Fuente had opted by multiple modifications in the alignment title, without having the representatives of the FC Barcelona, Pau Cubarsí and Lamine Yamal, of start. It was of the parties 'cheat' in which, in spite of the possession -in a lot of stretches without opposition-, the team was very dense and suffered to generate occasions.
And it is that in the first-half was practically everything for 'The Red', that recovered easily the balloon and merodeaba the rival area, but without concerning to his rival. The selection cafetera was firm in defensive works and forced to that Spain saw forced to attack through centres, starred in his majority by Grimaldo. Mikel Merino and Vivian had the clearest, but his finish left very near of the crossbar.
Luis Díaz and James Rodríguez, hangmen of Spain
In front of the passivity of a Spain that seemed to give by well the tie in a party in which it did not happen a lot, Colombia tightened lines in the resumption and showed a very conclusive version in the second half after surpassing the 'fright' of a zurdazo of Gerard Moreno inside the area, adjusted to the left stick, that forced to Vargas to take out the hand to sign a paradón. It was the wake up for the cafeteros, that advanced lines and 'warned' by means of James Rodríguez.
The ex of the Real Madrid commanded a potentísimo finish far that forced to Álex Remiro to take part with a hand up to avoid that colara in the goal. It went back to appear after hunting a refuse of Vivian after a confined of Luis Díaz. The zurdazo of James, that did not have the mark of any rival, left above the long stick. The selected by Néstor Lorenzo were smelling the goal and, with a big played of the player of the Liverpool, finish achieving his aim.
Díaz signed one of his big drivings to undo of the mark of Vivian and commanded a centre measured for the apparition of Muñoz that, with a finish acrobatic, left to Remiro without options to react to put the 0-1. Luis de la Fuente saw forced to do changes to try dinamizar to the team, especially in attack. It did not go until the minute 70 when Lamine Yamal ingresó to the terrain of game with the firm intention of desequilibrar.
The culés, in the final stretch
The player of 16 years went in to replace to Pablo Sarabia, splitting from the right but with a lot of mobility in the attack. In the first minutes left several 'details' and tested luck with a shot from long distance, but left very above the crossbar. Spain was much more incisive and 'hit' to the rival area, although without fortune in the last pass. Pau Cubarsí, by his part, went in in the 83' without a lot of incidence, but was sufficient to beat the record of Sergio Bouquets in the selection.
