THE Spanish national team She is currently ranked third in the ranking FIFA, overtaken by Argentina, chief, and France, second. But the men of Luis de la Fuente They have the opportunity to be first again and therefore the best team in the world. The last time the national team occupied this privileged place was in 2014.
Being the first ten years later ranking FIFA, the Spanish team needs several combinations, because it does not depend on itself. After France’s draw against Israel, Argentina’s defeat in Paraguay and Spain’s victory in Denmark, the European champion’s chances of taking first place are to beat Switzerland, the Albiceleste loses against Peru and the French draw or fall against Italy. If they don’t win, they could also be first if they draw and Argentina and France lose.
“Our obligation is to win tomorrow. For the prestige, for the responsibility, for representing a country… Listen, two years ago, when we started, we were the number 11 team in this ranking, and if we win and a series of circumstances happen, we could be placed at number 11.1,” the Spanish coach said in the match preview.
It must be remembered that Luis de la Fuente He took charge of the Spanish team in December 2022, after the setback of Qatar World Cup. Two years later, Haro led the national team to be one of the best again, winning the Nations League and, above all, the European Championship. Brilliant work.
