JAKARTA - The Spanish national team midfielder, Pedri, does not want to be influenced by predictions that his country is not the favorite to win in the 2022 World Cup. Pedri Badminton assesses that La Furia Roja has a great chance to break that prediction.
The Spanish national team is no longer the dominant force on the international stage after they took control of Europe and the World Cup in the period 2008-2012. When appearing in the 2014 La Furia Roja World Cup, they could not even penetrate the group phase, as well as in the 2018 edition which only reached the semifinals.
The Spanish national team had a better fate in the European Cup, because in the middle of the year Luis Enrique's team could end in the semifinals..
However, Spain is considered unable to fully compete in the World Cup stage, including in the 2022 World Cup. The reason is, La Furia Roja's squad is not yet experienced enough. But this did not make Pedri afraid, he even believed that Spain had a chance to win the 2022 World Cup. However, of course with careful planning, especially regarding tactics and gaming strategies.
Perhaps, people don't really expect much from us (Spanish brands). They don't see us as the favorites of champions. However, from this team, we see ourselves as the favorites of champions," he said.
"We will not get a medal without effort. If we work as we should, that opportunity will come," said Pedri confidently.
Pedri will most likely find a place in the Spanish national team to play two follow-up parties on the UEFA Nations League stage, against Switzerland and Portugal at the end of this month.
After playing these two matches, La Furia Roja is also scheduled to face Jordan in the last test match before appearing in the 2022 World Cup finals.
In the first World Cup title in the Middle East, Spain joined Group E with Costa Rica, Germany, and Japan.
