Spain midfielder Rodri has said La Furia Roja are battle ready for Spain.
\nThe former champions thrashed Georgia 4-1 on Sunday night to set up a quarter-final meeting with the hosts.
\nRodri said, \u201cIt was a game of patience, with a very tight defence.<\/p>\n
The first time they managed to get to the goal, they scored. There were bad moments and with an unfortunate action we had a bad time.
\nWe have to improve that. The equalising goal calmed us down and we regained control. We lacked some forcefulness in the second plays.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked for calm, for us to come together a bit to regain control. We knew it was going to be difficult.
\nApart from those moments of doubt, we controlled the game. We knew how to turn the situation around and for that I asked for calm.<\/p>\n
The first time I had it, I saw the gap and I hit it.\u201d
\nRegarding Germany in the quarterfinals, Rodri added: \u201cWe will never know if it is good or bad. All the teams are good. We will see.<\/p>\n
Germany will be strong at home. We are not afraid. If we want to go through, we will have to play a great game. We will go to win with everything we have. Against Germany the game will be very different from the one against Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
