The Plaza de la Revolución and Plaza Roja are still animated by a sufficient number of foreigners this Monday post-World, although they are not already congested. The souvenirs were sold at half price, which is why World Cup researchers advise to buy the last day. The 2018 Russian blind has closed forever: since yesterday is part of history. Now, the horizon is Qatar 2022. From today till 1,589 days ago. They asked an Ecuadorian supporter who participated in 12 World Cups and who was a modest man how to cope with such expenses and replied: "The day after the end of the World Cup, I earn four dollars a day, with that I go. " A simple and remarkable formula at the same time. Four dollars for 1,889 days gives 7,556. Yes, with that you arrive in Qatar without any problem. But you must have discipline and not touch them. How is this cup …? Nobody can even imagine it. The awards ceremony was almost over when the debate was already in place, which will soon be controversial: is France a minor champion, a vulgar, rocky, petty, bargain and lucky speculative team? That's what a lot of press has called, a lot of badysts. "He won with 39% of possession," adds the critics. "France buries the tiqui-taca", titled As. The tiqui-taca organized its own wake the day Spain made 1174 harmless against Russia. Even Russian players yawned.
"Ideas are not killed," said Sarmiento, and opinions must be respected. Modestly, we think it was an excellent World Cup. There was not a feeling team; Belgium could be if it reached the final. Or if it is crowned. France can love it or not, it goes in each, but from 7 parts it has won 6; the one who is linked to Denmark is not counted, it was a non-aggression pact since both were clbadified. He touched Argentina, which had woken up before Nigeria; he made four. Then, Uruguay, the cuckoo; he won while walking in his most placid game of the whole cup: What follows: the dreaded Belgium, resulting from the elimination of Brazil; He sent it. And in the final, he made four more in Croatia. He had an average of 2 goals per game. The numbers do not explain everything, but something indicates it. It was a team too smart and with character for the youth who integrated it. Eye-catching He maintained control of his seven confrontations. He showed a spectacularly applied defense. The rocky thing is wrong: France did not kick in the whole tournament, it did not scratch. Varane and Umtiti are very clean anticipators. Kante is a way that removes almost without touching the rival. The others are game.
Practice, yes. Scanned the rival, treated the game and acted accordingly. It was not great, it is not that. And neither generous. He did not try a drop more than necessary. But he ended up being superior to all his rivals. And he has accused each of his mistakes at the price of gold. It was a collective, all at the service of the team. And there were many people: Griezmann, Mbappé, Kanté, Pogba, Varane, Umtiti, Pavard, Lloris, Lucas Hernandez. Everyone appeared when he was in the game. He had a talented orchestral conductor: Griezmann (who could have been the Golden Ball). That is to say, he has gathered many arguments to declare him a relentless champion.
It was 52 years since there was a final with six goals. This is not small. And it is far superior to those of England 4 – Germany 2, because then football was slower and positional, it was less marked, there was no pressure concept, there were large spaces, it was thought, the defensive tactics were not developed, the archers left little bow (and they were not of the Courtois type or Keylor Navas). In summary: it was much less complicated to score goals. Today, the degree of opposition is very high, so play against Morocco. All have a lot of information from the rival, great preparation, spaces and running times have been reduced and the pressure and speed have increased, which removes any precision and complicates the maneuver. The current framework is therefore much higher than in 1966, for example. Also the lucimiento is complicated.
In a championship of 38 dates, we can require a team with great players to play well, train all year, but a World Cup is seven games, you just win . And if you do not act smart, you lose.
Many people idealize the world cups, they set the bar very high in terms of product. Think that, being the best players and the best selections of the moment, should be the big show. It is not like that. They are the maximum soundboard, but not the best expression of football (there were many decidedly ugly). 23 players come from clubs and even from different countries, with a technician who is not the one they have every day in their clubs, with another system, another personality, a different form of work. And not having the same rehearsal time as the clubs, the teams almost never reach the harmony of the teams, who train the players together all year long. Harmony is the harmony, the badembly, the understanding, closes the eyes and know that such a partner is there, that the other will bite, that Such a fetching center … It's hard to get there in twenty days of practice and a few matches
The technician who manages to amalgamate a firm defense and a timely attack as well as Good coexistence, has already opened the doors of the final.
This columnist attended ten World Cups; and has seen 14 in total since childhood. Except for the 1970s, there was no brilliance. The final of 1974 faces the two superpowers of the moment, the revolutionary Holland of Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep, Krol, Van Hanegem, Rensenbrink and the mbadive Germany of Beckenbauer, Müller, Breitner, Overath, Holzenbein, Hoeness, Bonhoff .. Won Germany 2 to 1. It was a tense final, yes, but rough, gray, not even the goals saved it. Menotti was still an offensive and exquisite football flag. His 1978 Argentina may have started the Cup with this intention, but he has never captured it; He ends up strutting, conquering the title at the end of courage. Italy & # 39; 82, Argentina & # 86; Germany & # 90; Brazil & # 39; 94 … There are many examples of champions who have not managed to shine. Italy 2006 is less than a memory, a statistic. Spain 2010 shined …? He scored 8 goals in 7 games. Almost eliminated by Paraguay … He won all four playoff games by 1 to 0, sweaty ink. His greatest value was David Villa, Bronze Ball, something almost nobody remembers. I tried to play clean, yes. Does he understand? Germany 2014 is also not an unforgettable milestone … Of course, we like to watch beautiful football, but what have been the World Cups and the brilliant champions …?
Everyone is demanding when the other wins. (O)
