Spain realization a dramatic, heroic and long-lasting victory In Swiss under the universal flood. The boys of Luis de la Fuente They gave a lesson in resistance and commitment and lasted 75 minutes with one player less due to the expulsion of The Norman. Joselu and Fabián give the team the advantagebut Amdouni He reduced the gap before the break. In the second half, the changes made by the coach gave the Roja some breathing room and the team knew how to sacrifice itself. Once again, Fabián and Ferran Torres sealed the match with two goals in a minute.
From the source he rectified. The Spanish coach is a permeable guy with size and he realized that when your best players are the wingers, you need a nine to fix his centers. That’s why he chose Joseluthat This is not Moratabut he is a centre forward for life. He knows the trade like an old watchmaker (today that we are in Swiss) and a ball in the area is the same as a two-door refrigerator or an almadraba tuna. The choice seemed logical and correct..
He also came back with Spain the boss, Rodrigo Hernandezexiled from eleven o’clock Belgrade for having shouted, between joke and truth, that “Gibraltar, Spanish!” in the midst of the alcoholic boom of the celebration of European Cup. THE UEFA He gave him a stupid penalty match as if Rodri would have called for a military uprising on the rock. This is how Ceferin and his cronies spend it.The fact is that, with Rodrigo in charge, he also returned to the starting eleven. Pedri instead of the headdress Daniel Olmo And Grimaldowho raised left side Cucurelleunrecognizable before Serbia.
These are the four changes in the lineup Spain before a Swiss decimated by the defeats of the match against Denmark in which he started with a defeat in the League of Nations. Luis de la Fuente chose an eleven composed of Band; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Grimaldo; Rodrigo, Fabian, Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Joselu and Nico Williams.
Joselu strikes first
It was a quarter to nine when, after the anthems had been played in GenevaFootball began. The grass was a potato field, a molehill infested with fungus that made it difficult to try to play the ball well. But the game was born with rhythm and vertigo. There was back and forth and a lack of control.. We had a lot of fun. After two minutes he was able to open the scoring. Joselu in the center left of Nicolas Williams. It was avoided by goalkeeper Kobe, who deflected it for a corner.
But Joselu was not going to forgive in the nextThis time it was a nice maneuver. Lamine Yamal stuck on the right. The boy knocked down two rivals and put him at the far post. Joselu flew there and although Kobel managed to get freeThe Swiss goalkeeper was already inside the goal and the score was 0-1 Spain is posted on the notice board.
Our joy would not last long because two minutes later, Switzerland equalized. It was a play born from a handball by Freuler that caused the play. The referee ate it, so the game continued, Embolo ran and Omeragic finished alone at the far post After Grimaldo he got lost in the retreat. Fortunately, the VAR informed the referee, appointed hairwho quickly walked over to the monitor to review the action. He cancelled it in a flash.
The game was a Sanfermines bullfight with all the players running non-stop. Amidst so much dizziness, Spain had the advantage, with the speed of Nico Williams and the unfathomable talent of Lamine Yamal.. Together, they made it 0-2 and Fabián ate it. A counterattack invented by the culé, which accelerated Athletic’s and ended with a shot that Kobel repelled. Fabián followed the play, taking advantage of the goalkeeper’s clearance to score the second with a half-volley.
The match seemed to be over. But no. The Norman wanted to add emotion and committed a obscene fault in Embolo when the Swiss striker, whom he was marking backwards, went alone into the Raya area. The referee did not hesitate and showed him a direct red card. He did not admit any doubt. But the Spanish-French central He was about to be pardoned by the VARwho mentioned a possible offside by Embolo himself at the start of the game. He was unlucky and went to the dugout, so we found ourselves with ten men in the 24th minute.
Due to the lack, he almost shortened the distances Swiss. The filming of Amdouni he pushed back David Raya’s crossbar. Luis de la Fuente was breathing. Vivian warmed up, who quickly replaced Pedri, sacrificed by the coach to balance the team in 4-4-1 with Lamine and Nico as midfielders on the outside, while Rodri and Fabián shared the middle.
The Norman ruins everything
Spain did not offend ten men and that Swiss he kept squeezing like Squeeze has Pedro Sanchez. An individual action of Lamine Yamal He sent Kobel flying again to avoid a 0-3 lead. The game was a waste of time. Vivian saved balls in the box like there was no tomorrow. The Swiss locked us down with courageous and fluid play. Raya prevented Freuler’s goal with a good hand in the 39th minute. He sent the ball into the corner… and the worst was yet to come.
The Swiss took the corner and put us all in a bad position. Amdouni, alone and unmarked in the small perimeter, beat Raya at will to shorten the distances. This time the goal is on the scoreboard and Swiss shortened distances. The end of the first half seems long, with seven additional minutes. We did not leave our ground and even the Swiss claimed a penalty for handball. Lamine Yamal inside the area. The referee did not award it, nor did the VAR because the Spanish winger’s action was not enough. Raya supported the team in the last minutes and we went to half-time with the precious 1-2.
to rest Ferran Torres hired by Lamine Yamal to give some air in defense to Spain. It flooded GenevaSpain had a second half ahead of them. very long time. Switzerland put the pressure very high. We suffered. De la Fuente prepared the departure of Yeremi Pino and Zubimendi. The coach was going to withdraw Nicolas Williams and Rodri, but the Spanish field manager stopped the change. De la Fuente endured the two substitutions so as not to lose a window.
We did not feel the ball, monopolized by Switzerland, posted in front of our surface. Spain demanded changes and From the source He made them in 1957. Nico and Rodri left and Yeremi Pino and Zubimendi entered. The team needed air and the ball. It was absolutely necessary to get rid of the Swiss domination and to rest a little on the ball. We were so well equipped in defense that we only had time to defend.
Fabián makes the third
We were suffering from the rain and we still had half an hour to continue emptying the water. Amdouni had the 2-2 in his head in the 66th minute but his header went over. I kept warning Swiss. I continued to resist Spain. Ferran and Carvajal saw yellow paths consecutive in the same action. The clock was ticking slower than a mousse pursuing squad Puigdemont.
And when 2-2 seemed closest, it became 1-3. It was a counterattack that David Raya launched with a long ball, Ferran Torres galloped to the right and put it in the area. There, Fabián arrived from the second line to place the inside of the left foot and put it out of reach of Kobel. Spain (almost) condemned the match.
Switzerland took the slap and a minute later we hit it with the other hand. This time it was Joselu who recovered the ball in his own area with a long ball that unbalanced all of Switzerland. Ferran ran away from his own field. The shark I swam quickly through the puddles of grassstood in the box and beat Kobel with a cross shot. Well, nothing: 1-4 and a tight game with ten minutes to go.
It was simply necessary to let time pass, which this time was in progress, to obtain a heroic and historic victory for the Spanish team against a Switzerland that never gave up and that honored a vibrant match that made us see a Spanish team that we rarely see. we see: that of knowing how to suffer. And we know it.
