The keys to the elimination of Spain

Date:

The Spanish team has said goodbye Qatar World Cup 2022completely sunk by eliminating penalties in the round of 16 matches Morocco. After his amazing debut, with a win against Costa Ricathe Luis Enrique Martinez started showing off Germany some weaknesses confirmed in his two subsequent confrontations with Japanese Y Morocco. These are the keys to La Roja’s painful KO:

1. Mental blocks

Just ten minutes of fun against Japan, but how they scored. When they came with the advantage at half-time and saw that Germany won the Costa Rica, they returned to the field and raised their feet. Big mistake that put them in doubt for the first time in a long time. Until now, they had always followed the optimistic words of the coach, but they found themselves eliminated within three minutes and the third youngest team in the World Cup was scared. The foundations were shaken and the blockade continued until the round of 16.

2. The equipment is too flat

Spain strangles iron defenses. Solid, competitive and physical teams make La Roja very uncomfortable, and they don’t know how to react. It was seen against Japan and also against Morocco. Especially when a defensive and well-organized team is accompanied by the character of the Atlas lions. Spain lacked the rhythm of the game that it printed in the first game. Too many drives and too few actions in one or two touches. Lots of horizontal play and little depth. Still lacks mobility at the top and overflows to the sides until it enters Nico Williams. In too many instances Spain become a predictable team, perhaps too corseted. The freedom that players have off the pitch sometimes seems to be lacking here.

3. Lack of offensive productivity

The Costa Rican game is a mirage. The debate about the lack of goals for the Spanish team seemed to be buried, but since then only two goals have been achieved in three games. Against the neighboring team he only shot on goal one and a half times. In both cases of Elm. A long shot, which FIFA collects as the only shot between the three sticks, and a center in strategic action that closes and almost surprises. Bond. But it is that the production in the attack of the Red left a lot to be desired. Throughout the championship he finished 51 times, only 16 off target. A not too loose balance in a selection considered offensive as it showed against the Costa Ricans. Spain once again had profiles that were too similar in attack and missed alternatives that could have offered some nuance.

4. Minute management

There are five players, three outside players, who have been left without playing in this World Cup. It’s hard to keep all the players plugged in, but following the pace and trust is essential in a group that is always united and loyal to their coach off the pitch. There are clear examples, such as Marcos Llorente, who came on against Morocco after three weeks of not competing. or the one of Sarabia, who almost jumped onto the field to take a penalty when by now he had been sent off. And he knows this because he’s been warming up in the band for 20 minutes, thinking about the maximum penalty. Also Ansu Fatilost the first two clashes -even with the win against the Costa Ricans-, but where he went to get the fire chestnuts in the last leg of Japan and in extra time against Morocco.

5. Lack of leadership

Undoubtedly, the leader of this group is Luis Enrique. But within the field there is a lack of a player capable of pulling the car in difficult moments. Spain aspired to that figure. That player who prints the character, who controls the tempo and teaches to suffer. The youth provided the talent, but they waited for respect in the hierarchy behind the veterans, waiting for them to step up and take the reins. It’s not like that. In the end, there is neither one nor the other.
