Euro 2024 final: Dani Olmo dismisses claims of Jude Bellingham being tired in the England vs Spain match.
Dani Olmo has issued a warning to Spain ahead of their European Championship final clash against England, highlighting the threat posed by Jude Bellingham. The Spanish midfielder scoffed at suggestions that Bellingham is tired and emphasized the need for caution when facing the young English star.
Olmo, who has been in fine form himself, acknowledged Bellingham’s importance to the England national team and praised his performances throughout the tournament. He stressed that Spain must be careful not only of Bellingham but also of other talented players in the England squad.
The RB Leipzig player, who is currently tied with Harry Kane as the tournament’s joint top scorer, expressed his satisfaction with his own performances and emphasized the collective effort of the team. He acknowledged that the journey to the final has been challenging, with victories over strong teams like Germany and France, but emphasized the team’s determination to continue playing their style of football and go for the win.
Spain defender Dani Vivian also highlighted the attacking threat posed by England, particularly praising Kane as one of the best forwards in the world. He acknowledged that England’s attackers have the ability to cause damage even without playing in a fluid manner and stressed the need for Spain to be cautious.
Despite Spain’s impressive record in the tournament, Vivian stated that the team does not feel like the winners of the Euros just yet. He emphasized the importance of taking each game step by step and approaching them with the same focus and preparation as if they were finals.
Spain have been unbeaten in the tournament so far, winning all their games and scoring 13 goals while conceding just three. In contrast, England have had a more mixed campaign, winning three of their six matches. However, both teams will be determined to claim victory in the final and lift the trophy.
