Koke enthusiastic about Spain’s progress: ‘He’s the best’

“There is ambition. We want to win every match. Against Germany (1-1) we had the feeling that we did things well to beat one of the favourites. We have a lot of desire and energy to continue doing the things we did well and improve those who don’t” assessed the Atletico de Madrid midfielder.

They work very well, organized together, with a lot of people behind them but come out with a lot of energy , with very fast people. I think it will be similar because it went well for them and they won the match. The strong team is the block, their order”.

Brazil have complained about the state of the pitch at a Doha stadium

The players of Brazil complained about pitch conditions at 974 stadium in Doha, where they qualified for round of 16 Qatar World Cup after a long win against Switzerland.

Alex Telles, for his part, commented: “The course was a bit strange, we perceived it from the warm-up. The ball bounced more, he ran a lot and we didn’t feel very confident”.

“We tried to score in various ways but the pitch conditioned us. It was bad, it wasn’t what we expected. We had to control balls that we normally play with just one touch, so we lost some time there. But the important thing is that we got the three points,” added midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

Rodrygo wanted to “steal” some of his magic from Ronaldo

A particularly amusing situation occurred this afternoon, after Brazil’s victory over Switzerland at the World Cup. Rodrygo, striker of verdeamarelha in Qatar 2022, wanted to “steal” some of his magic from Ronaldo.

The comical sequence was seen at the end of an interview that the former Brazilian forward, world champion in Korea – Japan 2002, gave to the young forward from Real Madrid’s Sao Paulo. After they greeted each other with a handshake, Rodrygo stroked Ronaldo’s legs, from the knees down, and then rubbed his hands all over him, as if trying to magically transfer something of the carioca qualities onto himself.

Ronaldo laughed. Rodrygo stopped with a smile that didn’t fit his face, after meeting an idol.
