Talk about identifying the wrong issue and then proving the wrong solution.
Pedri starting at 10 wasn't why they lost nor was it subbing him off.
What the coach did was actually working in the first half,but Martinez made an adjustment, and DLF didn't.
You guys are acting like Spain was playing against some bums in midfield, they have who a lot of people would call the best Midfielder in Europe this season on the opposite side, I don't agree, but the point remains.
They lost on penalties against a team that is probably just as talented or close to it as this Spain team, conceding a 2nd goal that was scored due to mingueza having a horror show and they also didn't execute on one or two chances.
Subbing of pedri or playing him at 10 wasn't the reason the lost.
I would personally play rodri and pedri, but if he doesn't it not like the alternatives are some D class Midfielders.
Why would he change something that won him the Euros and got him to back to back nations league final if memory serves me right, even though that Midfield set up was different.
Pedri Rodri
Ruiz
Is what I would play, but
Rodri Ruiz
Pedri
Isn't much worse, two CL winners and and Euro winners, the actual best Midfielder in the world when fit.
Spain isn't Barcelona where pedri easily clears all our Midfielders.
They have much better issues to worry about at RB and finding a proper CB partnership.
