Our dear Spain

That June 29 it was two years since historic win against Germany at the end of the Euro 2008 and Spain celebrated in a big way, giving good account of the Portugal of Cristiano Ronaldo and Queiroz. At a stroke the debate is over on the style of play and about whether the double pivot that Busquets and Xabi Alonso formed was the most convenient axis of creation and destruction. Suddenly the Red became La Roja again and the objective of winning the World Cup was possible again after the uneasiness caused by the unexpected and unfair defeat in the debut against Switzerland.

Spain supported the triumph in a new David Villa goal and in which he recovered the touch and depth giving a total of 683 touches, making 117 offensive actions and realizing 38 auctions. The entrance of Fernando llorente by Fernando Torres at game time it was a revulsive and the performance of the Riojan forward was highly praised by critics and the public. So he explained Vicente del Bosque the change in the press room after the game: “I have because Torres had much wear and he had run a lot. Llorente has come out with great force and has been incisive and successful. “The coach, faithful to his style, showed his satisfaction, but without showing off. Highlighted the defensive work of Villa and “the great match of the anonymous Busquets and Capdevila”. He appreciated being in the quarterfinals, where expected Paraguay: “We are among the first eight; nothing is easy. With this mentality, Spain will be closer to the title every day. “

Also, Del Bosque remembered the ephemeris which was fulfilled that day and ensured that the path marked by Luis Aragonese: “Precisely, against Portugal, have just been fulfilled dthe years since Spain got its title. I reiterate that I have not strayed far from the path that was marked then. I have followed in the footsteps of the previous coach and I've only done a few touch-ups, but without going off the mark, because that's the good way“

Luis Aragones, the previous selector to whom referred from the forest, followed the game as a commentator on Al Jazeera, Like the previous three games. TO Luis also liked The National Team's performance: “This is the Spain we want to see, Spain is the second half. The one that had touch and finally depth, was owner of the ball, of the game and of occasions. The victory could have been more extensive, “said Luis, who also focused on the figure of Fernando Llorente one of the keys to the match: “The depth he gave the team was very important.” Too Villa remembered: “He is saving the team with his goals and he is a humble guy, like everyone.”
