From illusion to failure: Spain's path in Qatar

Spain went in to the World-wide of Qatar in a very distinct situation to how left it. The team of Luis Enrique arrived like one of the candidates, of second line this yes, and has finished fracasando with an alone victory in four parties contested. The almost 130 minutes of game in front of Morocco have left the photo of a full team of insecurities and without the capacity to change parties on the fly.

The debut in front of Costa Rica has finished seeming an ancient film. The Red began the tournament with an overwhelming goleada of 7-0 in front of the ticos and from here in more seems that it forgot like going back to this version. Although the centroamericanos certainly were the feeblest rival that confronted, Spain did not go back to show creativity, verticality and especially the most important: capacity goleadora.

After giving a hit on the table in the première of the tournament, Luis Enrique and his team fell in a sea of doubts of the that never could go out. In the second party, in front of Germany, began with an alike level to the of Costa Rica and already to the half hour of game the idea seemed to dispel. The second time was almost exclusive of the team germano and finished sealing a tie (1-1) that seemed not concerning too much after the initial victory. The Germans already hardly would litigate by the leadership of the group and Japan would be the last rival, although it finished being the principle of the end.

The Japanese team did a second perfect time and undressed the problems of creativity and change of rhythm of Spain. Luis Enrique, benefited by the difference of goals in this moment, finished trying empatar without a centrodelantero after having taken out of the field to Álvaro Morata. It finished the phase of groups for The Red with only four points and with an image of constant irregularity.

Moment of review?

The big phase of groups of Morocco, added to the 'rivalry' between both countries did to think that it would be a party equalised, although it went it much more of the expected. The Spanish possession did not be, but only there was two finish to goal, including the extra time, something that left in evidence again to the technician and his fault of variants with a payroll of 23 players of field. Spain accumulates like this his third consecutive failure in World-wide, but without touching the style.
