Spanish international teams are so good that you’d imagine an awful lot of hard work and rigorous detail goes into their training sessions. Not on this evidence.
Julen Lopetegui’s men – who claimed the European under-21 Championships with almost embarrassing ease during the summer – will face Bosnia-Herzogovina later this evening and in what must have been an effort to ease the tension before kick-off, they let off some steam in training with one of the most fun-looking training drills we’ve ever seen.
From what we can gather, all three of the squad’s ‘keepers stood in goal while all of the outfield players intricately played the ball around the box to try and lure the ‘keepers out of position before knocking it in the net.
You might say any half-assed team could give that a whirl but not many could do with the style and class of these lads and the quality on show from the ‘keepers and the outfield players is quite something before Alvaro Morata spoiled everyone’s fun and hit the back of the net after 40 seconds or so.
We imagine Noel King will be doing something similar with the Irish squad in Cologne tonight before the none-too-appetising meeting with Germany tomorrow evening.
