Spain came into the World Cup with a late change of coach
and were held in their opening match by a Cristiano
Ronaldo-inspired Portugal.
World Cup group B: Ronaldo hits hat-trick as
Portugal draw 3-3 with Spain
The 2010 winners have Fernando Hierro in charge after he
replaced Real Madrid-bound Julen Lopetegui just two days before the
3-3 draw with Portugal.
Spain forward Isco has praised Hierro for taking on the
challenge and for not making huge changes. Isco told the media: “He [Hierro] knows what
he’s doing. There haven’t been many changes because he knows that
we work well with what we already have.
“It has been tough for him to face this without expecting
it, but I see him very well, very concentrated and he trusts us a
lot.”
Iran’s late victory against Morocco put them top of group
B after matchday one. An own-goal by Morocco substitute Aziz
Bouhaddouz gave the Iranians a first World Cup win since
1998.
Carlos Queiroz’s side will be underdogs against the
Spanish but goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand says they will fight
until the last minute at the Kazan Arena.
Beiranvand said: “Everybody knows that Spain is one of the
greatest teams in football history, and one thing that we can
guarantee is that the Spanish team will not have an easy time
against us. Everybody knows that our boys are fighters, and we will
fight and we will keep our concentration until the very last second
of the match.”
Team news
Fifa.com reporter Antia Andre Hernandez says
Spain will wait and see if Daniel Carvajal will be fit to start at
right-back. But his replacement, Nacho, scored a stunning goal
against Portugal and put in an “assured performance”.
