Morocco examines Spain’s solvency

Spain It was ‘the mechanical red’ but it was also a team that collapsed, panicked and panting. Conceptually, his idea of ​​football is dangerous, bold, great for offering a show, perfect for players who enjoy moving the ball with the first touch and dominating matches. But the youth and inexperience in the selection and the character profile of those chosen by Struggled to defend their idea, they lead the group to suffer when there is adversity.

Luis Enrique’s is a team designed to decide, to command, to draw matches from the ball, it is a team of footballers designed based on style, good to watch, aesthetic, very protected because talent protects itself this. Japan gave this group a crash course in open suffering, only for them to learn concepts that were crushed as if the striker stopped hitting the ball, shaking the foundations of the style. Morocco Spain’s solvency is being tested because even if the coach says “he cares zero about the result”, only the team capable of dominating the score will go to the quarterfinals of world.

Luis Enrique He established himself as the leader of the team from day one. “Psychologically I am very well, as always,” he said in a press conference. The arrogant, defiant, and arrogant coach appeared, burning himself in front of the world press because he believed he had to protect his footballers and his way was to downplay the reporters’ questions. Luis Enrique is wrong. These footballers don’t need protection, they need to wake up, experience situations that give them experience. Suffer and rise. It’s like life.

Luis Enrique thought that kidnapping the team’s leadership would protect a young and inexperienced group and relieve them of pressure, but this ultra-protection loosened the group. The coach blocked the appearance of a leader on the field, a leader who is more emotional than football. Busquets is the guarantee of philosophy but the captain lacks the character of Carles Puyol capable of changing the mood of a game with looks.

Luis Patrick, the streamer version of the coach, helped Lucho’s image more than the maturation of the team. Lucho is an infinitely better coach than a coach because here it is not only about leading a select and chosen team, it is also about representing a country.

As a coach, he was able to translate an exciting idea of ​​total football into the game in Spain. Spain always proposes and tries to advance from possession. No team plays better football than Luis Enrique’s Red, no worse rival for Spain already Morocco. Because the group’s proposal flagging the Africa – “We are the only representatives of the continent still in the World Cup” – is pressing, running, squeezing, passing the ball because they only need it to finish on goal, a technically powerful team that is not decorated.

A Moroccan team founded on a concept of life beyond football. Fourteen players from Morocco They were not born in the country they represent on their shirt, but their parents and especially their grandparents were, those who stayed in their country watching their children force themselves to emigrate to try to have a better life. A daring generation plays for them, schooled in European football, with nothing to lose.

Walid Regragui has achieved the seemingly impossible, that in just six months not only a nation, but an entire people scattered all over the place Europe. He relies on the physical trainer from Vigo to strengthen his team edu dominguez. He signed him from School of dizzinessa sportinguista by adoption, one of those who would include Luis Enrique in his group if only to help Sporting professionalize an area as important as the physical preparation of the base.

Spain will have to overcome this test against Morocco before being better against teams that are more open in their game concept. A Japanese He was not ashamed to beat Spain with 14% possession of the ball, here there are no small teams but teams that continue in the World Cup.
