1 GAVI FIXED THE BAD BEGINNING
Eleven is almost entirely new for Luis Enrique; small turnover in Jaroslav Silhavy’s team. Match the greater demand for Spain who from the beginning wanted to have the ball to perform Sarabia, Dani Olmo and Raúl De Tomás.
He didn’t succeed due to the first defensive mismatch (they didn’t have defensive synchronization to get back when they saw the pass was not pressured), Kuchta ran towards Unai Simón’s place and gave Pesek a goal. The meeting where the Czechs want their coach to have a tactical idea. To chop a stone against a first line of four midfielders and another of five well -formed to cover Vaclik (despite injuries to Zeleny and, eventually, Jankto).
Czechia towards the accordion movement and limited Spain’s football elaboration – with Rodri directing the game – so as not to gain depth. Carvajal and Marcos wanted to get away from the outside but they could not put up crosses. Minutes and more minutes of no chance until minute 47, Rodri saw Gavi and handed him the ball in the local area. Left hand orientation and 1-1. He didn’t shoot, he put it on the pole.
2. DRIBBLE DOES NOT DEVELOP AND KUCHTA REPEATED
In the field of Ferran to try to show more offensive capacity in the second period. Conversely, the same tactical disposition because the draw was not a bad result achieved 3 points against Switzerland.
Without relying on striker Patrick Schick, Silhavy’s ‘loose end’, Kuchta, always takes the same step: come out with central defenders -Eric García and Iñigo Martínez- and make the smart turnout (away from them) to face, only towards Unai. The first goal was enabled by Carvajal, in this second attempt by Marcos Alonso but with an unhappy ending as the low shot did not go into the goal.
Spain sent but did not eliminate rivals haggling over the meters of truth. The opposite happened, Kuchta performed the same operation near Eric and went on one to, this time, cleanly beat Unai in a dive category. Another psychological blow even with Busquets, Morata and Asensio on the pitch (he finished the post with 1-1 on the numerator). Plan B may have started very well but now it’s time, explosion.
3. ASENSIO REACTIVATE THE ATTACK
The left-hander fired because on the first ball he touched he almost hit Vaclik and on the second ball he almost scored, using a header, by Ferran Torres. He is the sharpest player and the one that Coufal and captain Soucek dread.
With the Spanish striker’s vivacity, his teammates found more possibilities to reach the Czech area. Silhavy’s is already looking at the clock,
They wanted to entertain the ball in the corner when, wham !, the Salvadoran threaded center arrived for Spain. Center backed up, full risk and Asensio placed the precise center so that Iñigo Martínez could achieve the header for the distribution of points.
We were on the canvas but the change of plan, players on the bench and a more pragmatic game, prevented us from playing against Switzerland that was not tied to the goal: first place. The rival will be Portugal if we do our homework on Thursday.
