A Spain giant, who lives enlarged and rightly, crushed Denmark inside Park with intense, choral and modern football. Luis de la Fuente He achieved with the selection the same thing that Colonel Truman did with Rambo: created a killing machine. Oyarzábal And Ayoze scored the goals for the team which played at the pace of a very inspired Dani Olmo and that sealed his pass to the quarter-finals of the League of Nations with style despite the fact that the final goal of Isaksen It added emotion at the end of the match.
Luis de la Fuente He put together a team like the cars they have today: hybrids. put the reinforced concrete of its supports at the rear and four of its holders had the license to move from midfield upwards. Against Denmark, they were lacking from the start Fabian, Pedri, Nicholas Williams And Moratawhich is not nothing and even more so if we combine it with the absent Unai Simón, Carvajal, Le Normand, Rodri and Lamine Yamal. In other words, only Laporte and Cucurella were part of the team with which the European Cup began.
So as not to be mistaken, we will count not those who disappeared but those who jumped onto the grass of Copenhagen Parken to defend the yellow elastic (in this case) Spain. The goalkeeper was David Rayawho hard earned his place in the absence of Unai Simón. Pedro Porro and Cucurella defended the sides, while Vivian and Laporte occupied the center of the defense. Zubimendi he wore the suit Rodri –which is no longer so big– with Mikel Merinos to accompany him as in his good times at Real. The line of three midfielders consisted of Álex Baena, Dani Olmo and Oyarzabal and nine was Ayoze. Let’s be honest: despite the losses and turnovers, this was still a great team.
Send to Spain
HAS Spain one point was enough for him Denmark or before Swiss to secure first place and reach the final phase of the this thing that UEFA invented between the Eurocup and the Eurocup and what we call League of Nations. The Danes, with a new coach, were pressing on their last (and very limited) chances of being first, in addition to ensuring their ranking. The carom had to win Spain and that on Monday the champion of Europe also lost at home against Swiss. What has been said is more difficult than believing in the innocence of Begoña Gómez.
The anthems sounded, followed by a crushing minute of silence and the football began. It tightened beautifully Denmark at the start of the match. Some scolded corners Spain to defend their area against Viking attacks. We resist and weather the storm. Little by little, our team takes possession of the ball and deactivates the Danish momentum. An arrival concocted between all the attackers, with Dani Olmo in the gravitational center of footballsilenced the Parken. It didn’t end with a miracle goal.
He grew up Spain and I started playing like angels. In the 12th minute, the crossbar slipped between the shots Ayoze and the goal. The selection started to touch the area of (son of) Schmeichel and the score was 0-1. And he would arrive soon, as I had warned them. It was at the 14th. Once again the high pressure of the national team, made flesh in the figure of Mikel Merinoallowed the ball to be recovered. Mikel scanned the horizon and found Ayoze to your right. The canary read the markdown of Oyarzábalwho repaired a somewhat faulty check and beat the Danish goalkeeper with insulting self-importance. A scandalous goal.
Spain is appreciated
Denmark It didn’t wrinkle. The Vikings must have thought they were lost in the river, they were not discouraged and tried to regain their lost strength. But Spain is a lot of Spain. A double chance for Ayozewhose shot he rejected Schmeicheland of Daniel Olmowho invented his own ending for the Play Station, has once again silenced the Parken. I will respond a few minutes later Hojlundthe white mark Haaland, with a shot poisoned by the rebound and narrowly missing the goal.
It was the last opportunity before the referee led the way to the locker rooms and ended the first half with the whistle. We come back from the intermission and Denmark regained the lost pressure. But it was in vain because Spain He manipulated the ball and the game as he pleased. As if that wasn’t enough Nico, Pedri, Morata and Yeremi Pino warmed up in the group. No more wood.
Another game of Spain in three passes in the 51st minute, he invented the serve. David Raya with your hand, then Dani Olmo completed an impossible dribble in the center of the field and put it on the break without marking Ayozewho threw her into the sky Copenhagen. He will not forgive the next one, in the 57th minute. Once again, impeccable playing in four vertical keys preceded by 19 other previous keys. From Laporte to Zubimendi, from Zubimendi to Dani Olmo, from Dani Olmo (at Laudrup) to Ayoze and from Ayoze inside. Superb goal and very good match for Spain.
Olmo and Ayoze Recital
In 61 From the source He made his first change. Fabian replaced Alex Baenaa planned change that was precipitated by the sprain suffered by the Villarreal playmaker, who withdrew. Park with visible (and worrying) gestures of pain. Spain did not give up and could have reached third place if Ayoze had shown a little more precision in his frustrated Vaseline attempt during the one-on-one match against Schmeichel. It was 1965 and Luis de la Fuente’s team was still wild.
The bad news is the injuries. Zubimendi He was hit and came out in his place Married. Morata and Nico Williams also left for Ayoze and Dani Olmo. Oyarzábal He forced the yellow card to advance cleanly to the quarter-finals. He did so well that he even got angry with the referee. SO Isaksen I had 1-2 but his shot hit the post. On the second try, and after an involuntary assist from Fabián Ruiz, the Dane would not forgive and managed to reduce the gap in the 84th minute.
He squeezed Denmark until the end, but they no longer had the time or energy to achieve a draw that would not have reflected the difference seen on the pitch for much of the match. Spain finally suffered of the party, perhaps out of overconfidence or because the changes have contributed little. The figure of David Raya but the duel ended and Luis de la Fuente’s team returned home with the feeling of duty accomplished. Victory and first place in the group assured.
