This Friday, prior to the trip to the Spanish capital, the national team had its last training session in England. According to the FCF, the group was divided into two: those who played more than 70 minutes against La Roja performed recovery exercises; while those who did not play (or played a short time in the friendly) completed the practice on the field.

“It was a very important victory for us, we have had an approach in which we want to compete against the greats as equals, this has been our mentality throughout our journey and against a great team like Spain we set an example, in many moments In the second half we got into the rhythm of the game and that was what we were looking for and we are happy with the result,” said the forward.
Camilo Vargas, for his part, commented that Romania is a “strong, fast and very tactically disciplined” team. In addition, the Bogota goalkeeper valued the undefeated Lorenzo era (17 games without losing): “It is not our focus, but it is motivating to continue building something beautiful, something historic.”
