Spain, up to eighth

A Spain was worth a point against Japan to enter the round of 16 after drawing (1-1) match Germanywho pulled the four stars embroidered on his chest to live on it world. The red advanced with a purpose from Moratabut full circle revived the Germans, who had to win Costa Rica to proceed to the next stage.

But the clash against Germany confirmed that generational change is a reality. Despite his youth, Pula is ready to compete with anyone. The group of Luis Enrique He continues to mature, now also against an experienced world champion, who only reacts when he sees himself. Spain stole the ball from him and submitted him, but few teams are more competitive than Germany.

Luis Enrique is not used to repeating himself once, but this time he almost broke with his tradition. Only one change to the starting team, the entry of carvajal through Azpilicueta. and the edge of real Madrid He couldn’t find depth and suffered more than necessary when going off the ball. The Germans, under high pressure from the beginning, knew that there they could do damage to Spain.

But the one that came out the best was Red. The group of Luis Enrique, at least, managed to gain control of the ball. In fact, it was very difficult for Germany to have continuity in their game. Despite this, they showed their trade and experience based on a champion base in 2014. Of course, the most diverse players were Musiala Matthew He said he was the next Messi, even after seeing what was seen Al Bayt Stadium, the most liked Emir of Qatar and where the host team always plays, it has flashes, but still has a long way to go.

Daniel Olmo He is the most demanding striker Spain, even just until break. In fact, the best acts came from the left, his band. After a good mix in between Gavi and Asensio, an initial right hand from Egarense from the front that forces neuer. Between the purpose of Bayern and the crossbar avoided the goal. And after half an hour, another trademark movement from the house of Olmo, who won behind his marker. His measured cross, powerful and in the center of the area, was wasted by Ferran Torres, who with everything in his face shot over the crossbar.

Spain also had a long shot from Jordi Albawho dared right and scared the Germans, who knew how to react and show pride despite failing to get the ball, the first great goal that Luis Enrique set for himself. gnabry put to the test first simon in a face-off, in an action that was later disallowed for offside. As the goal is not allowed Rudiger, who led a set piece action. Two notices alerted La Roja, as one kimchithat made Unai shine at the start of the second half.

Spain worked only on the left and Struggled moved the chips after the break. Morata entered by Ferran, who took the point of attack. And it took little to take advantage of a Jordi Alba candy. Played by the left-handed lane. Elm for jordi and center down to that Morata rivet before Neuer.

Germany he got out and he jumped. Unai put out a hand to avoid being pulled out museumbut both cannot be stopped full circle eight from the end. Another action by Musiala, who left the ball dead inside the area so that the striker of Werder Bremen He crossed it to the squad with eight minutes to go.

Spain depends on itself to be in the next stage. They won’t but I can speculate on the outcome. The red first if win or even tie Germanywhich needs all three points to achieve, is able to lose Costa Rica.
