The defeat against Russia still weighs in the lap of professional football in Spain. It 's not just about what happened during the match, but about the image shown throughout the championship. The reality today is: Iniesta leaves, Pique too, no one trusts De Gea, the war reopens Rubiales against Florentino, Hierro will not continue to direct the l 39; team and doubt about the style of play is already an open debate.
Iniesta had already announced that this would be his last participation with the national team. The footballer will go to Japan and his departure was fatal. Similarly, Piqué has endorsed its decision not to continue to dress La Roja in the future. In addition, the solvency that previously had in certain positions, like the goal that defends Casillas, has been forgotten.
The participation of the Manchester United goalkeeper was disastrous. Ha Spain finished 12 times at the goal (penalties included) and conceded 11 goals (including 1 canceled by the VAR against Iran). With these numbers, De Gea was the worst goalkeeper of the tournament. On the other hand, the feeling of insecurity that has shown has conditioned the offensive game of the team, with great doubts at the moment of going to the attack. De Gea has made the statue in many games, without catching any ball in the corners and only making a relevant backup in a heads-up against Morocco.
Open war between presidents: Rubiales against Florentino [19659002] The story is well known. Luis Rubiales, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), sacked Julen Lopetegui, the coach who had brought the team to Russia after a good qualifying phase. The Basque coach had signed to lead Real Madrid at the end of the World Cup. All this took place only 48 hours before the start of the tournament. Florentino Pérez communicated the agreement without informing the RFEF, which caused the anger of Rubiales, who had to intervene categorically. This situation conditioned the performance, atmosphere and sensations of the Spanish team in their concentration in Krasnodar, Russia. In Spain, a country already disunited for many reasons, a real social schism has been created between those who accuse Rubiales and those who see Florentino as an enemy of the national team because of the fact that they are not the same. they put the interests of Real Madrid ahead of those of Spain.
Iron, with a foot and a half to the outside of the team
Fernando Hierro was an emergency solution. The Malagueño was the sports director of the team in Russia and his coaching experience was as fleeting as it was rare. No one doubts that he is the ideal candidate to rebuild a wounded selection to death. It took a long time to make the changes and left Silva on the field when he played deadly. He was not firm in his decisions and his role as coach turned out to be a disaster.
The style of play: from 'tiki-taka & # 39; to 'gili-taka & # 39;
Spain made more than 1,100 pbades against Russia with 75% possession. However, most of these pbades were generated on their court and the sense of offensive depth did not exist. The lines were separated, especially the medulla and the forehead. Costa was too lonely and Spain had not worked a plan before the gaming situations went bad. The only plan was the touch, but this time without verticality, which made the team play football absurd, without ambition and loser.
For this reason, Spain is facing a notorious cycle change. Without a coach and players like Isco or Asensio who are not tenured at Real Madrid, it seems that the change will not be led by a global crack to terrify the world at the next European Cup or the World Cup. Total crisis with the Federation and the most awarded club. Lopetegui remains silent. Silence is consent.
