The Spanish team refines the last details of its strategy with a view to the Qatar 2022 World Cup and this Thursday faces Jordan, in a friendly duel. Those led by Luis Enrique show a good football level and quickly established the lead on the scoreboard, with a goal from Ansu Fati.
The match on the grass of the Amman International Stadium in Amman was over 12 minutes and the ‘Red’ began advancing to the right. Marco Asensio was the owner of the ball, in three quarters of the field, and escaped from the mark of his rivals, diagonally, until he decided to land a pass to the left wing.
Ansu Fati, entering the area, controlled, settled down and finished off with his right leg: goalkeeper Abdallah Al-Fakhouri deflected the ball, but without enough force and allowed the score. The Barcelona attacker celebrated in a measured way, while receiving the hug from the rest of his teammates.
ANSU PUT THE FIRST! On his return to the National Team after two years, the Barcelona player received the assistance of Asensio and defined from the right to make it 1-0 against Jordan in Spain’s last friendly.

The preview of Spain vs. Jordan
It will be the only preparation commitment that the ‘Red’ will play on the eve of Qatar 2022. Just days before the debut in the World Cup, the idea of the coach Luis Enrique Martínez is to test the pieces with a view to the game against Costa Rica of the Wednesday 23. In this way, the DT wants to see who can act as ‘9’.
And it is that, in the anteroom, Álvaro Morata will be reserved because he does not feel fully. So, the DT of Spain thinks of Ferran Torres or Dani Olmo to replace him. Meanwhile, Ansu Fati, the surprise in the squad, and Marco Asensio are emerging as those who have a safe place in the offensive trident.
In addition, Luis Enrique ratifies the confidence in Unai Simón in the goal. Also to Aymeric Laporte in the central defense. Also a guaranteed place for Sergio Busquets, as the axis of the team. Along the same lines, Koke Resurrección, recovered from an injury, must win the fight against Gavi, whose teammate in Barcelona, Pedri González, will start the duel.
