The best/Zubimendi
Scandalous exhibition of a released and goalscoring Zubimendi. Big on the assist, especially Aaronson, he scored a header after a free kick, took the duels, found Brais and Silva inside with a low and low pass, leaving Brais alone before the goalkeeper who had a left-footed assist out. His 60 million clause is a bargain. A pivot like this has not been seen in the entire World Cup, said Amrabat. Danger!
remiro
They left him frozen. He was kicked three times and the two went inside. With poise both with his feet and in the air.
gorosabel
The rest was good for him. He looks fresher, less ‘heavy’, though he doesn’t have any moments of brilliance either.
zubeldia
He looked uncomfortable as a right center back in the line of three, first trying to stop the TGV Gnonto and then the yellow card he saw for being late.
Le Normand
90 minutes was fixed in his usual practice to clear without needing it. He went to Rodrigo far away.
Pacheco
Great performance marred by that delivery mistake at Le Normand costing 2-1. As a third center back, they floated him and he could play, although he didn’t complete well and as a left back he was brave.
ander martin
He also made a mistake that led to the first goal, but he played everything and did it well: left winger, false nine, second striker… Two fantastic balls to Cho and Silva after two incursions on the flank.
Brace
He has enough to come back whole after the devastating disasters of Roca and Hjelde. He looked comfortable and flashy, covering more fields and receiving more backs. In the 4-4-2, he was almost a secondary playmaker and never stopped receiving. Imperial assisted Zubimendi in the 10th minute goal. It’s still like that.
Silva
He was as usual, though very hesitant and mischievous to convert within the area. Outside of it, he offered himself, connected and stole balls in position on the left, but he messed up the two chances he had. Why doesn’t it shoot?
Cho
It can be seen that he has fully recovered and that is sensational news. He wanted to do so much, that in the end he did nothing, except to threaten with a few self-passes.
Navarrese
He makes short circuits because of his mobility, starting first with the ball and his quality, but sometimes he is careless and that leads him to make losses. He forced a foul on the goal and played 90 minutes.
The changes
Aritz
Without too many problems as a center-back, he prefers it when he has to finish as a right-back due to the injury of Álex Sola.
Guevara
Excellent second half, where he switched as a pivot and interior. He enjoyed the leather and was the most deep looking with a very accurate long pass.
zubiaurre
Little to deal with.
illarra
With multiple deployments all over the field, he had a chance at a corner exit.
Karrikaburu
He was furious at a trampled tackle from Greenwood and turned with no luck. Not even close to scoring, again.
Marine
This time he couldn’t connect with his teammates, despite his best efforts.
Alone
He was doing damage for the band until he was injured. Damn!
