Euro 2024 has just started, we can see that big teams are able to dominate their opponents, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy managed to secure victory in their first matches. Spain performance was certainly very surprising, their level of play was increasing and they managed to dominate the match well. Croatia, which was strengthened by several high-class star players, was unable to get its team out of pressure. The compactness and equal quality of players on all lines meant that Croatia was unable to penetrate Spain very strong defense.
The new strength of the Spanish national team is starting to form with a combination of players from different generations. Carvajal who is a senior player, managed to score a goal in the match after receiving a beautiful assist from Lamine Yamal who was making his debut at the Euro. Anyone will place a bet on Italy victory, no one doubts Italy ability to win over Albania because the strengths of the two teams are very different.
But what happened was a little different than expected, I thought that this game would be easy for Italy, but they conceded first, but win back in the first half and simply held the winning score in the second. But Spain surprised, or perhaps it would be more correct to say Croatia, because they played no worse, but at the same time the first half was a failure and after that Croatia could not do anything with the Spanish defense. Perhaps Croatia's problems have not gone away.
