Spaniards are preparing for a penalty shootout in a match with the Russian national team at the 2018 World Cup

The Coaching Headquarters of the Spanish national football team does not exclude the possibility that the fate of the meeting of the 1/8 finals of the playoffs against the Russian national team at the World Cup will be decided by post-match fenals, the AS publication writes.

The new mentor of the Spaniards Fernando Yerro at the training paid special attention to the development of this element and decided with the players who will have to perform a series of 11-meter penalty shots if the case comes to them.

It is reported that the list of penaltists of the Red Furia included Sergio Ramos, Diego Costa, Isko, Sergio Buskitts and Andres Iniesta. At the same time, Ramos replaced David Silva, who entered the five under the former coach of Julen Lopetegi . The publication notes that this is the first serious change made by Yerro.

The Spaniards are seriously afraid that they will not be able to decide the fate of the match with well -physically ready Russians in their favor within 90 minutes of playing time and recall that the last friendly meeting of the rivals ended just a combat draw - 3: 3.

The Russian national team will meet with the Spanish team on July 1 at the Moscow Luzhniki stadium. The start of the match is scheduled for 17:00 local time.
