Only the winner of the group will advance directly to the championship in Qatar next year, the teams from the second places are waiting for the playoffs. It will feature the other two best winners of the League of Nations groups, who will not succeed in the qualification.
“I’m on the verge of a heart attack. The match cost us a lot of energy. We lost confidence and didn’t change our chances. We collected after a small mistake in the defense. We knew that the second half would be complicated,” Enrique quoted Marco as saying.

Jordi Alba was assisted on both goals of Spain. The equalizer was scored by Ferrán Torres in the 56th minute. “When you score in the final set-up, it’s because you worked hard to earn it. Unfortunately, this film will be repeated against Kosovo on Wednesday. We don’t have as clear a head as usual, that’s obvious. We exchanged seven players and an opponent he could rely on the support of spectators, “said a 50-year-old native of Gijón.

Georgia startled him. “She did very well. But I think we deserved the victory. And even if we didn’t, I wouldn’t care now,” said the former Real Madrid and Barcelona player, whom he also coached. “We have to appreciate Georgia, it kept bothering us from breaks. But we knew how to react,” Olmo said. “I dedicate the goal to the whole team because we needed such a win,” added Leipzig midfielder.
According to Enrique, teams such as Georgia are causing problems for the Spaniards. “There are no small opponents, especially when they play from the low block. We are more concerned about teams like Georgia than, for example, Switzerland, which played in the quarterfinals at the last championship, Germany or Ukraine. The last match bothers me a lot,” said Enrique.
