From Davidde Corran on the ground at the tournament: “My understanding is it’ll be a full press approach to prevent Spain from building up with ease. If midfield too empty Jan will reinforce.”

Freud, if you refer back to that article, in which I use Twitter as an example, I was complaining about the fact it hadn’t been updated since the start of the season.
