Sergio Busquets, captain of the Spanish national team, was the first footballer to speak to the press once Spain’s difficult farewell to the World Cup in Qatar was confirmed. The red midfielder, who missed his shot in the final penalty shootout, highlighted the ruthless manner in which he bid farewell to the national team
La Roja’s captain said after the match: “We wanted to continue. We have achieved advantages. It was a very physical match, with (Morocco) locked in defence. It was very difficult. In overtime it was more of the same. We had one (occasion) to score in the last second and we came out the hard way
As much as Spain insisted, it found no way around the Moroccan defensive wall. Busquets stressed, “We tried to tire them out and beat them, but we lacked that much luck in the last pass or shot
The Barcelona player did not want to talk about whether he would continue to play with the national team or not. “The important thing now is not this,” he said. We have to get up. We are in good tune, with a young group and a future. We must continue
