ANDspaa had a reality check against Japan. The team led by Jorge Vilda came with tremendously positive inertia after beating Zambia and Costa Rica. No goals against and eight for. A perfect start. But, At the first change, the selection took a corrective that leaves no arguments to all of us who thought that this could be our World Cup.
FOR THE FIRST TIME DOWN
The ball, in soccer, ends up covering everything. The good and bad. Perhaps for this reason, everything that has happened this year seemed buried after the good results achieved against Zambia and against Costa Rica. We had seen Spain with the wind in favor since the World Cup started, but not against it. And Japan was quick to uncover our defensive problems. He had to row against the Japanese current. Spain’s reaction, however, was by no means the best. Nervousness, haste and a lot of inaccuracy when he still had a long way to go.
AN INOPERATIVE DEFENSE
Spain did not fuel in defense. TO Irene Paredes, who has saved us so many times, looked uncomfortable. And a lot. She did not find herself next to one Roco Glvez who was weighed down by the game and the debut. Both are players who defend better forwards than backwards and it was noticeable on the first three occasions. The image was incredible.
NO LEADERS
In this context, a leader was missing. Someone to give a voice, to gather the group and try to raise the troops. With an Alexia that is not Alexia and with a traveling bracelet Among soccer players who carry less weight than those who do not carry it, the team continued to crumble and had no solutions from the blackboard either.
THE BLACKBOARD, INOPERATIVE
Something was expected at the break, whether it was one change, two, three, four, or even a change in attitude. nothing arrived. Olga for Ohiane. Spain did not unlock a well-ordered Japan that seemed to have studied the selection very well. The exchanges were, in their entirety, from player to player. Profile by profile. And against a team that knew the plan of the national team so well, there was a lack of alternatives.
ADVANTAGE ILLUSTRATED
Having said all this and criticizing the image of a team that was ineffective in all aspects of the game, It didn’t take long for the current to appear enlightened advantage, the one that waited behind the mobile screen with a bot in the profile of an application to bring to light the names of Mapi León and Patri Guijarro. And of course, saying atrocities against the coach absolutely out of place. Criticizing football yes, disrespecting it is not permissible.
WE WOULD HAVE SIGNED IT
Not surprisingly, Spain is not eliminated from the World Cup. Doing your homework early allows you to stumble. Maybe not like this and with these sensations, but, at least, the selection has a net from which it can rise. Of course, reasons to believe that this can happen, it has not left us. We would have signed the what, playing against Switzerland in the round of 16, but not the how, falling with a crash against the first difficult opponent.
