On July 3, according to Bild, Vicente del Bosque expressed in an interview that Spain is the favorite to win the tournament.
Del Bosque: “Spain’s possession game is more aggressive than Germany’s, and we have a better rhythm in our control. I am firmly convinced that we will progress to the next round. I don’t want to be disrespectful, we must remain humble, but honestly, I truly believe that Spain has the upper hand in many aspects. Germany has a great attack, especially with Musiala, but…
“Spain is the top favorite, and we will overcome Germany. I am deeply convinced of this. Even though both teams are excellent and Germany has the home advantage, I still have full belief due to our well-balanced squad, both in defense and attack.”
“If Spain were to win the European Championship for the fourth time, it would be a dream come true. A new era has begun, and I am delighted for the fans.”
