‘Need to be more clinical in front of goal, that’s all’: David Raya

[[{“value”:”

Spain goalkeeper David Raya has urged his teammates to move on from their disappointing goalless draw against minnows Cape Verde and focus on sealing all three points when they face Saudi Arabia in the FIFA World Cup on Sunday.

“We have to move on. We know our level has to improve, but our attitude hasn’t suffered. We need to have a bit more luck in terms of goals, for the ball to go in [the net]. We need to be more clinical in front of goal against Saudi Arabia, that’s all,” Raya told ESPN on Friday.

Saudi Arabia are no pushovers, having held two-time champions Uruguay to a 1-1 draw last week. While Spain do possesses more firepower than Uruguay, they’ll still be without the services of Lamine Yamal for a large part of the game. Yamal said on Friday  that it’s still ‘too soon’ for him to be in the starting eleven as he recovers from a hamstring injury. “It’s not the time to play a whole match, but I can play whatever minutes the coach wants,” said Yamal, who had come off the bench in the 71st minute against Cape Verde.
