Morata Admits Spain’s Struggles To Emulate ‘Generation Of Geniuses’

Morata Admits Spain’s Struggles To Emulate ‘Generation Of Geniuses’

Spain are yet to make a mark in the ongoing Euro 2020 and striker Alvaro Morata has admitted it is difficult to match the success of their predecessors.

The Juventus star says La Roja team-mates must believe in themselves despite acknowledging the fact that it will be hard to ‘fill the shoes’ of their golden era.

Spain etched its name as one of the best national teams in the world thanks to the brilliance of its former core players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, David Silva, and Gerard Pique among others.

These core players helped the nation to an unprecedented success in both the continental and world stage.

It started from winning the Euros under the late head coach Luis Aragones in Euro 2008, before winning the World Cup in 2010 under Vicente del Bosque.

Spain also successfully defended their European crown in the 2012 Euros and everything has gone downhill since.

Morata has moved in to defend Luis Enrique’s men following their failure to record a win in the ongoing Euros after playing with Sweden and Poland.

“If we listen to what people say that won’t help, because they are all waiting to pile on and criticize us,” the former Chelsea striker told Sky Italia.

“Usually when big nations reach a competition like this, there is a sense of unity around them.

“We know that we’re following a generation of geniuses who won everything and it’s difficult for us to fill those shoes, but we have to believe in ourselves.”
