- Story Text: Spain is hoping for a change in fortunes as the team prepared on Friday (September 7) to play England at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (September 8).
Spain have had disappointing showings at their last three major tournaments since dominating the world game between 2008 and 2012 when they lifted back-to-back European Championship titles either side of their first World Cup triumph.
They endured a nightmare World cup campaign when they were knocked out by unfancied hosts Russia after Spain coach Julen Lopetegui was sacked on the eve of the tournament.
However, captain Sergio Ramos said there was renewed enthusiasm around the squad since Luis Enrique, who was a serial winner during his three seasons in charge of Barcelona, had taken over. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
