Vicente del Bosque admits Spain better controlled the play against Italy yesterday, as he reflects once more on Fernando Llorente’s international prospects.
La Roja defeated the Azzurri 1-0 on Wednesday evening in a game that Cesare Prandelli complained had his players physically below par.
“In a period in which there is an intense schedule, it is not easy to play,” offered Del Bosque post-match.
“I did not see a big difference with Italy, we can say that we had more speed in the movement of the ball. Compared to the other times against the Azzurri, we controlled the game better.”
Del Bosque was asked once more of the chances of any changes to his squad ahead of the World Cup, namely with the potential re-introduction of Juventus forward Fernando Llorente.
“He is a great player, but we cannot call up everyone. There remains three months until the World Cup, there is time to do all the evaluations and we will see.
“There could be some changes. We can’t really say anything specific just yet because we’ve got three months ahead of us.”
