Biglia stresses importance of ball possession against Spain
Madrid, March 25 (IANS) Argentina midfielder Lucas Biglia on Sunday highlighted the importance of ball possession against Spain in their upcoming friendly football match, to be played at Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Tuesday.
The AC Milan midfielder praised the Spanish national team as one of the contenders for the FIFA World Cup, which kicks off on June 14, in an interview with the Argentinian Football Association, reported Efe.
“(Spain) is a team with great ball possession. To face it, we should know how to approach the game and to play them as equals — we have to have great ball possession. Hopefully things go fine, as happened against Italy,” Biglia said, referring to last week’s 2-0 friendly win against the Azzurri.
Biglia said that the friendlies help to “confirm the work, because the result itself does not matter”.
“What matters is the work that has been done during the week. Looking at the Italy match, there is a lot of positive points. Obviously, we have to keep improving,” he added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
