Czechia\u2019s head coach is Spanish. Santi Denia, the man who won Olympic gold with Spain in 2024, took over the Czech national team in late July: the first foreign coach in their history, with his assistant Pablo Amo at his side. His first big away day takes him to Oviedo, to the Carlos Tartiere, where Spain had not played since 2015 and a 2-0 win over Slovakia. Tickets are sold out<\/a>, and De la Fuente said he was delighted to play in a city that lives for football.<\/p>\n

Unbeaten since March 2024<\/h2>\n

Spain\u2019s last defeat came in March 2024, against Colombia: forty matches unbeaten since, and eighteen without losing at home. A world title in July, built on three wins at the end of the tournament, over Belgium, France and Argentina. And a flawless start to the Nations League: 3-2 at Wembley against England, then 4-1 against Croatia in Seville<\/a>, with a brace from Yamal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Read together, these six lines frame the match: Spain win everything, Czechia lose everything, and the two Czech defeats of September came by one and two goals.<\/p>\n

Losing narrowly, the Denia way<\/h2>\n

At Eden on Tuesday night, Czechia held England until half-time despite an early sending-off, then gave in to a Gordon goal straight after the break and a Kane strike on the hour. \u201cWe do not doubt ourselves at all, this is the right path,\u201d Denia told his press<\/a>, while the Eden crowd chanted his name.<\/p>\n

In the 2022 Nations League, this same Czechia had already pushed Spain close: 2-2 in Prague, then a 2-0 defeat in the return. Euro 2016 had finished 1-0. Denia knows his host inside out, twelve years spent with De la Fuente in Spain\u2019s youth teams: \u201che is like my brother, but I want to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
