Anyone who saw the game yesterday that faced Portugal and Spain were asked: What has that red shirt on the shirt? "Star", will remind his fellow-sufferer. A star? How the raffle?, Again ask the fan out of it. "No, the world champion," added the other, stunned with the short memory of his friend.
The Spanish team conceded to the Lusitanian a painful defeat by four goals to nil. A rout in addition to receiving a few months ago against Argentina in Buenos Aires, much like a meeting that was held Wednesday in Lisbon. The group led by Vicente Del Bosque lacked every one of the values that made him to the top of international football (defensive intensity, dynamism in attack), and showed that knocked out the World Cup has left several key players, such as For Xavi, Busquets Villa.
Just ask a Pep Guardiola, who has in the ranks of Barça with spine selection. Except Andres Iniesta, so smooth and frothy, the Xavi, Busquets, Pique and Puyol are in the course foosball almost melted. Xavi, the brain, is to take it with tweezers, as the mollusk Busquets, who caught on a game to forget against Portugal.
The key to the game in Spain is the pressure in attack. It annoy your opponent, lets not breathe until it gets possession of the ball, but if the opponent who Shagged more than you, the house of cards falters. And the neighbors did have Iberian win, were injured as the elimination round.
Xabi Alonso, one of which is immeasurable at this time of year, weather the storm and soon took the lead the team. Back, Sergio Ramos long neglected his band, which Cristiano Ronaldo looks to continue one against each Piqué. Some of them solved the Catalan, but at a level player playing for Real Madrid can not defend one man.
Up, up front, Villa and Silva sailed to drift throughout the first half. Iniesta shot down the second line of Portuguese in a couple of times and contact with former partner and Valencia. But Villa still slow, and Silva has never found its place in the scheme of Del Bosque. Portugal argued the ball to Spain, where he enjoyed the possession showed static and a jam in the area of creation.
Cristiano Ronaldo, enraged, it was only by the party. He signed a solo run that took way that of becoming the goal of the year, but the referee reversed the action incorrectly. Piqué saved in front of goal as much sung Iberian neighbors, but could not plug any longer bleeding. Before the break, another onslaught of Christian led the Martins goal.
Helder Postiga scored the second just after beginning the second half, another defensive mismatch. Forest ushered in half bench, but this time the changes had no effect. Cesc Fabregas put some heart, Torres showed that there is at this time to play in the selection, and then at the end Portugal increased its income between the lockers of the stands.
