Spain’s 1-1 against Japan

The risk is limited. He wanted to give a very compromised pass and that ended up being the first in Japan. Besides, I could have stopped him a lot. At first, he almost rolled another with his foot.

He played well in the first half. Not only did he assist Morata in the first goal, but he was very confident in defensive tasks.

It’s not pretty. He showed a lot of passion but also nervousness. He was young and managed to take the stage in a high-voltage match.

Gray color. He lacks finesse and freshness on the ball. His one mistake in the first half was that he almost ran out of steam and didn’t have much of an influence on the game.

He didn’t have a bad game. He suffered more when Japan decided to counter due to his lack of pace, but he was well placed.

It would be strange if Luis Enrique decided to bring him back in the round of 16. He was slow without the ball and made questionable decisions to clear it from the back, putting his teammates in trouble.

He was seen hurrying. It was doubtful for the eleven but Luis Enrique insisted. He made debatable decisions with the ball at his feet and ended up on the bench.

He didn’t have the courage to pull the cart. In possessions he needs to be differential and he can hardly capitalize, partly because he is well marked.

Other than the goal, he did nothing of note. His header was accurate and then he never stopped trying to clear the check, although he was usually marked and had no spaces to get anything.

That is not his party. It is impossible to take advantage of his power and speed. If there are no gaps, it is more expensive than others. His transformation was very clear.

He likes them all. He acted as a leader in the absence of one. He has great ideas and executes quickly. He almost scored the equalizer in the final minutes. Important.

He comes out with Spain slumped in chaos and tries to pause and make sense of it once he’s on his feet.

abominable fight. Bad in defense and doesn’t contribute anything on the ball. He was seen as lacking in confidence.

He tried to give dynamism to some gaps left by Japan in their own field. He is smart with the ball at his feet.

It does not create an imbalance. He doesn’t have the guts to try to face it and it shows.

He played his first minutes at the World Cup and his presence went unnoticed. He tried it on several walls, but nothing came out.
