PEP IN STEP OF ENRIQUE

SPAIN were mesmerising in their 7-0 demolition of Costa Rica.

The two teenagers Pedri and Gavi (inset) were just streets ahead of everyone on the pitch. I know it was only Costa Rica but it was still impressive.

I’ve seen teams that are not bothered but never in a World Cup.

Let’s be honest, if that was a league game, the Costa Rica manager is getting the sack. One million per cent.

If you’re watching that, it’s crystal clear he has lost the players. That was worrying.

Spain’s passing and movement was exceptional.

They also had quality from the bench.

Their depth is not as strong as England’s because we can bring on four forward players but they’re still very solid.

It’s a good start from Spain but I still think it’s going to be a hard game against Germany, who have to win.

But I really like Luis Enrique, he reminds me of Pep Guardiola.
