Whose traditions will be stronger?

July 1, the Russian national football team will battle with the ex-world champions and Europe - the Spanish national team, which until today did not show the usual outstanding game.
It's unclear whether this is due to the replacement at the very last moment of coach Khulen Lopetega (who, by the way, did not lose a single match) to Fernando Hierro, or the Spanish team did not force his athletic form to reach the best condition to 1/4 final. But the fact remains: while the Spaniards are not impressed. Only the game will show us the true strength of both our team and the Spanish.
In my opinion, the chances for the Russian team will be in the event that we are the first to open an account. If Spaniards score and feel like a fish in the water, we will have to rely only on the powerful support of the stadium, the standard provisions and the var system. (suddenly put a penalty on Dziuba!)
Iran, Morocco and South Korea showed us how to deal with written favorites, and we should take their experience into service. But for this it is necessary to show the same crazy self-giving, as in the match with Holland at the 2008 European Championship.
In the meantime, we should look at the statistics.

For us, it is rather sad: we only won once in the history of Spain in 1971 in the qualifying match for the European Championships. (2: 1). Before and after this, the USSR and Russia did not wait for the "red furies" either in official or even in friendly matches.
But this is not an excuse to give up! Every tradition ends sooner or later, which we clearly can judge from the fiasco of the German national team.
And besides that, we also have other statistics, which can be somewhat encouraging: the Spanish national team has never won the national team - the hostess-championship either at European championships or at world championships. And such attempts she had already as much as 8. Although the last failure was in Portugal already 14 years ago, and the first defeats in the 30s of the last century.
Therefore - everything in the hands (or rather - the legs) of the teams, the brains of coaches and the support of fans.
