On Monday, after a fierce battle, the Spaniards defeated the Tunisian national team only at the end of the match. The coach of the Spanish national team, Luis Aragonesas, stated after the game that in the second half after substitutions, Cesc Fabregas, Raul, and Joaquin played a crucial role in this match, where the Spaniards celebrated a 3-1 victory over Tunisia.
"I know it could have been very complicated and difficult match. They caught us unprepared in the first half, and later barricaded themselves in defense, which was very difficult to break," said L. Aragonesas at the press conference.
"The first goal weighed us down and we became nervous. We are a young team and played an unusual game, trying to play long passes," the coach continued commenting on the match events. - "But Cesc's performance in the safe line tied everything together, Joaquin provided more space on the right, and Raul made a vital breakthrough, scoring a goal."
"It was harder than we expected, but the most important thing is to win in any case. Today (Monday) the team showed character and did not lose heart when they were losing," said F.Torres, who became the most productive player of the championship.
Meanwhile, the coach of the Tunisian national team expressed disappointment at the press conference and believed that the tactics were chosen correctly, it's just that the players were careless.
"We played at an amazing level, but we had to pay a high price for lack of alertness. We had a plan and it worked for a long time, but at the end of the match we were not careful enough," explained the Frenchman Roger Lemerre. - "Everything is not lost yet, but we didn't win anything here. The match against Ukraine will be decisive, a difficult road awaits, but we do not lose hope."
