Spain midfielder Rodri has hit out at Cape Verde’s tactical approach after the 0-0 draw in their World Cup opener on Monday.
The Manchester City star said Cape Verde didn’t have any interest in getting past the midfield, noting that they sat back during the encounter.
“It wasn’t meant to be. There’s little to complain about,” Rodri told La 1 shortly after the game.
“We knew it was a game that required patience. They sat back, and they dropped back very quickly. We couldn’t put it in. We created chances, but couldn’t finish.
“The positive thing is that they barely created anything against us. We need to improve our finishing.”
Spain will now face Saudi Arabia in their next game this weekend.
