Spain remembered the frustration in a World Cup at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow, eliminated on penalties in the round of 16, far from expectations, without the football that made it enormous and unstoppable for its rivals not long ago and stumbling through a tournament in which that had already embroidered the precipice.
Able to rebel against adversity against Portugal (3-3), he resolved the duel with Iran on the rebound (1-0) and saved the last-minute defeat against Morocco (2-2), unrecognizable in both duels; At the final moment, he insisted and insisted, but without success against Russia. He controlled without depth and left the World Cup through the back door on penalties, with mistakes by Koke and Iago Aspas.
The Spanish team now looks almost nothing like the Binance App Users Data one that dazzled the world with a shocking and unmatched cycle in history, of two European titles and one consecutive world title from 2008 to 2012. It is no longer that champion. He doesn't have his football or his punch or his determination. He hasn't had it for a long time, since Brazil 2014.
Spain has not lost in any of its last 24 games, with 15 wins and eight draws
June 18, 2014. Maracaná Stadium. Rio de Janeiro. Spain had been eliminated by Chile in the 2014 World Cup (2-0), in which it was defending its champion title. In only two games he was out. Andrés Iniesta: "It is a very big disappointment for us and for the people. The blow is very strong for everything. It weighs us a lot."
June 27, 2016. Saint Denis Stadium. Paris. Euro 2016. Spain is defeated in the round of 16 incontestably by Italy (2-0). Gerard Piqué: "We don't have the level of a few years ago when we were European and World champions. This elimination serves to put us in our place." Self-criticism without excuses.
July 1, 2018. Luzhniki Stadium. Moscow. Spain says goodbye to the 2018 World Cup in the round of 16. It was better. But it is a failure. There are no nuances when a firm favorite leaves the tournament so soon, that he found himself in first place due to other people's demerits last Monday and that he lost when it seemed that he was taking flight.
Spain fell definitively against Russia. The host, an insurmountable challenge for her every time she has encountered him, whether in a Euro Cup or a World Cup, now on ten occasions, condemned a reality that had already offered symptoms, too many, but that no one within the team wanted to believe. until this Sunday.
The team counterattacked criticism from the media, with the greatest emphasis being Thiago Alcántara; He insisted on numbers, undefeated in 23 games in two years, with 15 wins and eight draws, with goals in each of those games; and appealed to his talent, his conditions or his personality to create the reaction.
He talked a lot about "self-criticism." It has been the most repeated word perhaps behind closed doors from the Krasnodar 'headquarters' after last Monday's 2-2 against Morocco, focused on defense, a series of errors considered specific. He did not capture it with the expected and required finality on the grass this Sunday.
