- The new coach debuts with a win over Belgium with two goals from Silva and giving a great image in Brussels where shone Thiago and Koke
- The selection remains faithful to the touch football, but with more intensity and commitment that was in the Eurorocopa
The new era of the Spanish team, that of
Julen Lopetegui started with a big win against Belgium in Brussels.
A great victory
not so much to win the second selection for the FIFA world, if not the image
that gave the Red. A team that
ran over Belgian holding touch football as a pillar of his game, but showing
much more aggression and attitude than it was just a couple of months ago at
the European Championship in France.
That touch with intensity and order is what you want Lopetegui
and his men responded to perfection. It
was a test for the coach, but also for the players who faced the party as
having a new boss and wants to please from day one. In that aspect highlighted and shone
Koke and Thiago in the midfield taking that step forward to be claimed on both
and it looks now with Lopetegui will have much more weight in the selection. Both gave much air Busquets when
releasing the ball and combined with Silva and Vitolo, wings Red with mobility
went crazy Belgians who focused more on defending than harassing a De Gea I
just had work in the first quarter of an hour and in the final straight and
with the game decided.Much work lies ahead Roberto Martinez, the Belgian coach
for a team of a great generation of players.
And that Belgium started well by pressing the exit of the
Spanish ball, but that only it lasted 15 minutes. The time in which Spain took the ball
and it did not let go. Vitolo,
Silva and Jordi Alba side and Carvajal began to show the Belgian
embarrassments. Spain sent, but
lacked the icing that is the goal. Morata
did not make it that was injured and he went Diego Costa with its verticality
and careers crazy sometimes even put in more trouble Belgian beginning to be
pitados for their fans.
The Spanish goal was not long in coming as it was the party and
did it for the right wing. Carvajal
gave him a gold pass to Vitolo who takes advantage of the indecision of
Courtois on its way out to give it back where Diego Costa from an attempt to
control or let her back did the second and there was Silva to put the 0-1 in
the the City 33 minutes scored the first goal of selecting Lopetegui. Spain not stepped back after early
lead, rather the opposite because from that 0-1 until the break, the Red gave a
recital of game that, by putting a fault. He
lacked the goal.
Doublet Silva
The second half began with the same scenario as in the final
stretch of the first. stranglehold
of the team that failed to score with a header from Pique who stopped Courtois. Red was enjoying before a completely
blurred Belgium I could not even appeal to the individual actions of any of its
stars, disappeared completely.
The team kept pressing in search of the judgment but between
them were right not to beat Courtois. Until
60 minutes, Jordan Lukaku, the worst of the Belgians, made a clear penalty on
Vitolo that transformed Silva 0-2 in 61 minutes.
Belgium, to the anger of their fans wanted to step forward, but
it was not his night, if not the Spain that still did not relax and did not
notice the changes made in the second half Lopetegui. He remained the owner of the ball and
kept the same intensity and order in the countryside.Occasions to bore the
Spaniards had to increase their income, but the score did not move. Nor it was needed. In Brussels itself that mattered win,
but above all, recover sensations, lost confidence after the failures in the
World Cup in Brazil and in the last European Championship. There, Spain won by a landslide with
an exciting premiere Lopetegui.
