The soccer of selections contains peculiar ingredients. Thus, started off with little disease like the played one by Spain - or in the World-wide one of the year that comes in Ereván against Armenia - or eliminated they become battles that certainly had turned out epic to mediate some interest by the result. There was a poor rival, but who bit his knife. And a boisterous public, rain to hectoliters, hurricane and cold wind del that penetrates in the bones.
The fundamental thing is that Spain won (1-2), unconquered in that European group number 5 to which to only reduces the tenth day him, the next Wednesday (it travels of “the Red one” to Bosnia Herzegovina) and that almost all the boys lent by so multimillionaire clubs in debts left without injury of the shock. Although in the end “it had dispersed”.
Marchena was the unique one that remained in clothes in the rest, with pinchazo in a thigh. It was several hours later when the Federation preferred to give vacations him to Xavi, with a battered knee, and to allow that Cesc Fábregas is absented by an urgent familiar subject. Together they will land Sunday in Barcelona, with Puyol, tarjeteado. At the moment, those are five players that leave the concentration before the party of Bosnia, including Güiza, that already had inflict losses Friday.
The ninth victory chained by the Spaniards most of evaporated the bath of superiority of the previous ones. Although Of the Forest it experienced - only Towers in end; Cesc of “vice-admiral” with Xavi; Queen in portería, Monreal in the left wing, Capdevila, Whistles, Albiol and Busquets in the launching slip, her equipment was pregnant of talent, with names of stuck weight and. Like that she will remove in Bosnia after the corresponding rotation. And nevertheless, she did not illuminate as she is accustomed to.
The Spain that does not play with land bands where the rival closes itself and becomes conceited to the con is forced to suffer. If Cesc Fábregas had not connected a magnificent touch of refilón to the ball to half an hour of game, could have appeared any other wonderful brush-stroke, but also what it really happened in the second part: that a launching to stopped ball and a bounce (clearing of Puyol in the “opposite luck”, to his portería) would as much become the first one of the Armenians in six enfrenamientos against Spain (16-1 for “the Red one”).
Armenia, functional illiterate in soccer terms, only could surpass to Spain in the percentage of commitment with the challenge to wear shackles to him to the champion of Europe. It enjoyed the moment the 1-1, although it was a limited time, because Bush, more lucky than the newcomer Negredo, took advantage of a new service of the best Cesc Fábregas than it has seen this selection to receive penalti and to transform it with his left foot without blinking. To little it gave a hug to his substitute, Andres him Iniesta, again in the selection.
Spain knew to suffer when nothing gambled and to surpass itself to continue with the record of victories. It was his main merit in one night of experiments that will demonstrate to their validity or innocuity in places of greater rank, when it returns the whole or nothing from a great competition. The lessons of Armenia will be applied in particular phases of concrete parties.
