In short tournaments like some Olympic Games many times it is key to start winning. More than just playing well, convincing football or outshining the opponent, coaches aim to achieve a success which calms the nerves and lays the first stone of a path which, from that base, is calmer.
This is what happened this Wednesday at Pariswhere the Roja de Santi Denia lost with more difficulty than brilliance Uzbekistanwho at some stage of the fight put the heart of the Spanish Olympian in a fist.
Spain, too, and for those who prefer to always see the glass half full rather than half empty, has become less so. And after the first half that left some doubts and an image far from what many expected, improved after rest and confirmed the hopes of those who had placed him among the favorites for a medal, if not for the title. Of course, he bids time against a determined rival and has a final analysis of VAR which, fortunately, came to nothing.
We have to believe that the pressure of the debut, the importance of the event and who knows if some fatigue in the legs full of training played against the interests of the Spanish Olympians.
The truth is Spain It showed, along with some shortcomings, undoubted virtues. Just like his character Sergio Gomezthe new signing of real society, able to overcome the mistake of getting a maximum penalty in, with almost no break in the continuation, ending with a good collective action in the attack to finish the 2-1 scoreline. The ‘ex’ of cityBy the way, he had already served the ball that opened the scoring, by taking a free kick that he missed Abel Ruiz before Marc Pubill He will beat her under the Uzbek tights.
The first three points of the contest are already in the box Spain. Now is the time to rest, recover, reflect. Correct the errors, which exist; highlight the virtues, which also exist. And hope that on Saturday, the second Olympic challenge against Dominican RepublicThe Spain The Santi Denia Olympic Stadium offers a more convincing image. And of course, win again. Because this is the path to success. Especially in tournaments this short Games.
