National team boss Luis Enrique led the team to play last year's, the result is the top 4; also participated in two sessions of the tournament, both UEFA Europa League got the first group. It is not difficult to see that under Enrique's clear coaching ideas, Spain's play in the competition is still quite stable, the lower limit is very high. However, we should also see that in the Europa League group stage, Spain first and 0-0 draw, since then and 1-1 draw, until the 3rd game, Spain only 5-0 win to lock the qualification. Visible, Spain has two problems, the first is a little slow, and the second is the goal can break out, mainly depends on the opponent is not a strict defense.

The skipper is Colombian Luis Suarez, who has a wealth of big match experience having previously led Honduras and played in the group stage. Speaking of which, it's important to mention national skipper Lenard, who has previously won the Africa Cup of Nations in Zambia and Cote d'Ivoire, amassing excellent tournament experience and a key figure in Saudi Arabia's ability to pull off a cold stop. Therefore, it is very important for the underdogs to have the experience and self-confidence to have an experienced manager. Costa Rica gives people a feeling that the days are numbered, but in the World Cup, this team also has an excellent resume, not to mention that in this year's warm-up matches, after they scored 2 goals against, and also faced the Uzbek and Nigeria also scored 2 goals respectively, the attack is still very characteristic. In the backline, Navas is injury free and will be able to play, which is good news for the team.
Spain actually conceded 1 goal in the previous warm-up match against Jordan, and the team is facing some pressure on the back line. The left back Gaya was previously injured, the team also appeared to have a cold problem, although the pre-match to see the players have basically recovered, but the first game, there must be some players are not in the best state. In addition, in the center back position, Enrique will consider letting Rodriguez guest, to improve the team's ability to get the ball out of the backfield. On offense, Williams is expected to be the odd man out, but for Busquets sitting in the midfield, I think we still need to be careful, Costa Rican strikers Can and Contreras are still very strong in terms of impact, and if Prof. Bu can't provide protection for the center backs, he will inevitably expose Spain's center backs to a one-on-one situation. And slow turnaround speed has been a big problem for Spain's center backs. Therefore, this ball, Spain is not without the possibility of losing the ball.
