"Yesterday's game can be called an early final."
This was told to Idman.biz by the coach of the Azerbaijan national team, Arif Asadov.
He commented on the first semi-final match of the European Championship held in Germany. According to the experienced expert, Spain won a deserved victory over France: "The Spaniards have already played 2 matches that we can call an early final. One against Germany, the other against France. I was considering the French as favorites. They did not play very well and came to the semi-finals. Still, I thought the luck factor would be on their side. But the Pyrenees proved their strength. Today, no one can resist in front of Spain. I think they have more chances to win the championship. Despite France opening the scoring, it looked like the Spanish would score, and they did. It was a well-deserved victory for the game."
Asadov also revealed the main advantages of Spain, which reached the final: "Lamine Yamal and Niko William are dangerous for all opponents. When one side fails, the other side is activated. I would particularly single out Yamal. A new star is coming to world football. The efforts of the coach should also be mentioned. Luis de la Fuente worked in the Spanish national team from a young age and many of these players played under his control. It is also a good introduction to their potential. We see a different Spain in terms of playing style. If before they used short passes and played more with the ball, now they stand out with their fast passes."
England will face the Netherlands in the other semi-final match. The match will start today at 23:00.
