To write of the Spanish selection is an important challenge. And the fact is that it is the pride itself that there him prevents from writing to one in a clean and tidy way. Like journalist, I have left so much that to learn that I feel complexes at the time of speaking about the Red one, since for the first time since the reason allows me to give him use is the Red one the one that is over all of us. And well that we are the fans — worthy ones of the office of the opinion — but Iniesta, Xavi and company have raised this from the soccer to his maximum category, giving a minimal sense to each of the words that try to paint the portrait of them. That should consist, I say here, preferring to any other thing, that nothing places us over the sure victory, less still in the near World cup. But I affirm also that it is a pleasure to have felt faithful to the whole disappointments history, because now, with tantísima satisfaction above and inside, I feel deserving of similar delight. I imagine, I am sure, that you also.

The terms should look after, because the Spain – Argentina of small yesterday or nothing had of friendly. Less, for the Argentinians, who do not hesitated to be used thoroughly and with hardness to justify that the streaks albicelestes are still in a status superior to the understood thing. But it remained clear that this Argentina is not a team. It does not involve that they do not take danger much scoundrels-permítanme the expression — since they count them with the whole arsenal of resources, explosives less, wreckers in any case; but they are very far of offering a set soccer. The intensity, yesterday evening, was revealing. And it revealed that this Spain is not for dumb celebrations, but he is learning to celebrate with motives — that his Federation takes note—. Whenever appointment happens, his cause is a soccer of precision and speed, and the visit of those of Maradona was a propitious occasion to demonstrate that the team keeps on walking on the same convictions that they lifted up to where now it is to him. Since yes, it remained quite clear.

Spain was tremendously top, that’s why it was just that the result was granting the honor of the victory to him. They all wanted it, because I insist, for nobody it was a question of an any duel. When Messi tied, celebrated his goal with a symptomatic force, it demonstrates one more. It was a meeting of high flights, in which they all surrendered to the end, which was provided with the favor of a conscientious pressure, enclosed with arbitral oddness. Certainly, the move of the first Spanish goal is as to put to anyone in desire. Iniesta begun to be erected in protagonist, and with two walls it disarmed the ideas rivals and armed those with theirs — ours — that very often allow to take also of the Miscellany hand, a soccer player who every time receives more value: therefore it does and for what it does not stop doing. A brave player who serves, delivered, to this soccer between lines that makes us different, that contributes that we are better than the rest.

The patience is one of the most valued jewels that Spain bought in Austria and Switzerland. It cost him his, but also he could give him a distinctive touch that turns it into a singular attraction. The patient soccer of the Spanish selection does not make anybody nervous, because it is not patient up to this limit; it is a patience that grants calmness. The players, and hence the love, are more conscious than never of that can purify the victory up to the last sigh — blessed that Town goal to Sweden — because they construct everything for and for it. And nothing hides a distressing calmness, but everything opposite, a precise vertical position. About the Forest he spoke after the party in Wave Zero, and his words help to channel everything. He proved to be a critic with the second half of his team, and also it referred to the touch game, affirming that to the seventh one it is necessary to try to hurt the rival. In those Spain moves, and in those that it seems so wonderful to us.

The goals yesterday came thanks to Xabi Alonso. The first one, for being in the precise place; the second one, for striking the ball with an impressive certainty. But some of them should have fallen down more. To start, because the Argentine area was in constant danger, and in her the Spanish lifted the hands several times claiming penalty, but the umpire preferred to hope that it should take place in that of Casillas. Maxi was knocked down by Albiol and good indicated the fatidical point. Anyway, there are details about which I usually never speak because I get lost easily in them. It is better to mention that the move was preceded by an error of central Spanish, but also justly to say that it was a result of the emulation that they all have for extracting the controlled ball. It is necessary to spend care and to assure the pretensions, for good that should be.

Jesus Navas made debut (finally!!!) and it left steadfastness of which if his quality is mixed by the confidence that it usually provides this group — something that probably happens — will contribute easily to the offensive determination of the team, opening a clear alternative in the right band. It tuned in well to Bush — an important man — centred with danger and appeared participativo (if not, it would not be Plain mountains). There says the seleccionador who did not comment to him on anything special, but, simply, that native should play so as it does it in the Seville. It is the good thing of having a sane trainer, that the logic reigns. Only inside this climate such works as that Busquets can be realized settle in the midfield or that Negredo is about the goal; it is clear that in both cases also the education marks the rule: one for his serenity, other for his ambition. And now, that stops one writing, him begins to turn to everything what it exhibited, because the words are more difficult to look between so many merits, and the normal thing is that the text gets lost between the good work to which it refers. He might have summed it up with one “without words”…
