Euro 2020 (2021)

[Affiae]

Italy+Croats in one team would have ended this game under 90 minutes.

 

[Messi983]

Italy had more bad boys

 

[hardyboy]

Spain had so many pussies in their team. They never had a chance to win the Euro.

 

[Porque]

Spain were very impressive, they just need to find a clinical finisher in the next 18 months and they will be a real threat at the world cup, hopefully Fati can be that man.

Yeah, I'm happy with the tournament. Can't feel bad about reaching the semi and playing the way they did. Italy done nothing bar the counter for the goal and the 15 mins after it.

Spain need Ansu to develop over the next 18 months.

If Pedri and Ansu continue their trajectory then they will be great at the next WC and peak for the Euro and WC afterwards- along with Olmo, Ferran and of course... Riqui TikiTaka.

 

[ebc_99]

For the first time I'm with BBZ I think

Spain beat Slovakia, had 5 draws and lost after their best showing.
Says something.

What does it say?

 

[te amo barca]

They have just as good forwards as Italy who won 4/6 in 90 minutes

Insigne and Chiesa are a class above any Spain forward.

 

[HanDW]

If Ansu had not been injured Spain would have walked the tournament

 

[Horatio]

Watched all of Spain games and honestly?bad conversion is what cost them. They created enough chances today. Not just today.

 

[Morten]

If Ansu had not been injured Spain would have walked the tournament

No, Braithwaite cant be stopped.

 

[utility73]

There was one really good, excellent thing about Spain: Pedri!

 

[El Gato]

What does it say?

Prettty much that :

(...) they just need to find a clinical finisher in the next 18 months or they will never be seen as that much of a threat

FTFY

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Insigne and Chiesa are a class above any Spain forward.

also the midfield is stronger

 

[BBZ8800]

Dominated chances-wise. Do not try to spin the absence of good forwards as an evidence of shit football BBZ. If they had someone like Lewa/Kane or even fit Ansu, they would have scored more goals.

I am not sure they would even use that guy.

Del Bosque invented 460 without strikers and with 6 Iniestas/David Silvas to get 70-80% possession.

Father Pep also sold Etoo, Zlatan and Mandzukic.
To buy Jesus and play KDB/Foden/Sterling as false 9s and similar.

A huge part of domination of that style comes from a fluidity of 6 midfielders+attackers.
If you insert a No9 who is a killer, but less mobile or technical, you are losing possession.

For example, imagine Lukaku at Spain.
He would bring some goals but kill the flow, they would play with 10 men.

On the other hand Lucho picked goalscoring wise sterile Pedri, or so-so Olmo, yet he had Llorente as a fullback.
Even someone like Asensio might provide a goal or two.

But no, it is usually: all in on possession and on 6 David Silvas and inshallah and hope that one out of 10 chances from technical but sterile midfielders/attackers will somehow go in.

So, it is not such a simple statement as: Spain just needs clinical attackers.

Lmao Asensio is shite in 2018 World Cup. No need to call hin up. He can not do anything.
Pedri has a great tournament but whatever.
