Soccer-Cape Verde Draw a Wake-up Call for Spain, Says Cucurella
Marc Cucurella said Spain must be 100% focused after the 0-0 opener and warned that any team can beat top sides.
- On Thursday, Spanish defender Marc Cucurella described Spain's 0-0 draw against Cape Verde as a "wake-up call," with the team preparing for Sunday's match against Saudi Arabia.
- Spain was not the only top team to struggle in the opening round, as Portugal and Belgium also settled for draws against lower-ranked opponents, reinforcing competitive parity.
- Cucurella emphasized the team must remain "100% focused in every match" because any opponent possesses talent to win; players are working this week to address offensive struggles.
- The upcoming opponent, Saudi Arabia, recently drew 1-1 with Uruguay and notably defeated Argentina 2-1 during the 2022 World Cup, demonstrating defensive organization and counter-attacking threat.
- While the team does not expect to replicate its unbeaten 2024 European Championship run, the squad is eager to bring its best version to the pitch Sunday and secure three points.
