Lithuania vs Spain Match Preview
Due to weather conditions, Vicente del Bosque's Spain might not be able to lock horns with Lithuania this Tuesday.
"The game should not be played. But if the referee thinks different, we'll have to be positive and adapt to the field" said Barcelona's Andres Iniesta.
Both squads took on each other less than a year ago, back in October, and it took about an hour for the Spaniards to unlock the game and score the opener.
"They won't let you breath. Their defense is deep, just like many other squads nowadays. We'll be playing far from home, in less than favorable conditions, it'll be a tough game" said Barcelona's midfielder Andres Iniesta.
Lithuania's coach relies on Valencia's defender Marius Stankevicius to neutralize Fury's massive firepower. Raimondas Zutautas wants to demonstrate Lithuania is ready to fight among Europe's best, will he have what it takes to defeat the World Champion?
Lithuania celebrated an important victory against Poland earlier this week, playing excellent football from the wings that overwhelm their rival from the first minute on .Saulius Mikoliunas and Edgaras Cesnauskis were the leaders of the attack, and their efficiency gave Zutautas a clear victory in the first half of the game.
Vicente del Bosque is aware Barcelona has an important match ahead next week, and so he's looking for alternatives to Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets in his scheme. Javi Martinez is a strong candidate to join Xavi and Xabi Alonso, while Fernando Llorente and Santiago Cazorla will assist David Villa in the last meters of the field.
Gerard Pique, Andoni Iraola, Raul Albiol and Alvaro Arbeloa are likely to defend Iker Casillas' goal in Lithuania. Their rivals are strong on the aerial play, and Vicente del Bosque does not want to be compromised by their physical superiority.
An interesting game between two rivals of different categories. Who'll bag the victory?
Lithuania vs Spain Match Report
Xavi, Fernando Llorente and Juan Mata gave Spain a well deserved victory at the Steponas Darius stadium.
Marius Stankevicius levelled the game early in the first half with a furious mid-distance shot.
Spain leads the group for the Euro 2012 with fifteen points after five games, six points above Czech Republic.
The game was clearly dominated by the Spaniards, who had nevertheless trouble keeping the ball in Lithuanian ground. David Villa was almost a shadow, isolated on the attack unlike Fernando Llorente, who assisted the midfielders with relative success.
Vicente del Bosque introduced fresh legs for the second half, as David Silva and Juan Mata took over David Villa and Santiago Cazorla's place respectively. The modifications paid off, and Spain celebrated another important victory to defend the European title once again.
Spain was inaccurate throughout the first 20 minutes of the game. David Villa was the most active player in the squad, shooting first at the 7th minute as Xabi Alonso found him close to the area. In the 19th minute, Villa recovered the ball and assisted Xavi Hernandez, who shot an unstoppable ball for Lithuanian goalkeeper Žydrūnas Karčemarskas.
It looked like it was the beginning of a feast for Vicente del Bosque's boys, but it wasn't. The hosts never gave up, Mindaugas Panka warned first at the 23th minute, Darvydas Šernas followed eight minutes later ina dangerous counter-attack and Deividas Česnauskis had a fair chance at the 45th minute, but Iker Casillas controlled the ball without a problem.
Without David Villa for the last 40 minutes of the game, Fernando Llorente had to assume a much more offensive stance to lead the attack, and it was necessary as Stankevicius found the equalizer shooting from over 30 yards. Juan Mata was a constant threat to the Lithuanian defense from the wings, and he played a major role in the last two winning goals.
Mata first sent a dangerous cross on the 70th minute of the game that Tadas Kijanskas sent straight into his own net. Valencia's striker tasted the net by himself 13 minutes later. The World Champion connected a fifth consecutive victory in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, while Lithuania was left at the fourth position with only four points.
