After his tremendous failure, both the ‘daddy’ Martino (Mexico) What Roberto Martinez (Belgium) they resigned as selectors. Two minutes after they were eliminated from the Qatar World Cupthe two coaches left their posts. Luis Enrique is different. Luis Enrique blamed the grass, sorry Moroccosorry for the penalties, sorry for the cruelty of football (look, he is right about this Joan Laporta: Xavi Hernandez He also said that football had been very cruel when it did not go beyond the group stage of the Championsdespite having 17 World Cup players on their squad).
Those of us who said and wrote from the first day, not weeks later, no, from the very composition of the call for the 26 soldiers of Luis Enriquethat Spain was not going anywhere with a group where some of the best Spanish footballers were not present and, above all, some of the footballers who were in the best shape at the time, but rather those who are faithful to the spirit imposed by Luis Enrique, We can now say (and it is not joining the bandwagon, no) that the ridicule of Luis Enrique’s team has been tremendous: Spain has been the only favorite of Qatar-2022 that has been eliminated, the only one!, in the round of 16 final, because the other favorites have fulfilled all and leftovers: Croatia-Brazil, Netherlands-Argentina, Morocco-Portugal and England-France.
barren party
Spain has been very strong, so much so that, since they were world champions in 2010, they have only won 3 of the 11 games they have played in a World Cup: Australia, Iran and a thrashing of Costa Rica, one of the three worst selections of Qatar-2022. Spain has been sent home by a minor team, since Morocco is the fourth African country to enter the quarterfinals of a World Cup. Spain goes home shooting three times on goal in 130 minutes, yes, having possession (77% against 23%) and making a whopping 1,019 passes. Spain was not even champion of its group. Spain was on the easy side of the table. And Spain is eliminated after missing all the penalties in the final round, something that had not happened in a World Cup since 2006, when Switzerland missed them against Ukraine. If all this does not help Luis Enrique to resign, now! it’s because he hopes to break the news on his next ‘twitch’.
And, curiously, the icing on all this nonsense cake (Spain has not played against anyone in this World Cup, it could only draw with the worst Germany in years) comes 24 hours after the coach criticized the journalists (again). for asking him questions that were, according to him, authentic “topicazos & rdquor ;. For example: “Have you trained to shoot penalties? & rdquor; “What a cliché! In one of the concentrations prior to the World Cup, I told my players that they should arrive in Qatar having practiced 1,000 shots on their teams, because here, in the World Cup, we don’t have time to practice them.”
According to Luis Enrique, in the national team there is no time to train penalties, but there is time to do a ‘twitch’ every day
Great, there is no time to practice taking a penalty, but there is time to do a ‘twitch’ every day and win over 740,401 followers, fans, which is what Luis Enrique is wearing after this failure. Eliminated from the World Cup in the second round (almost first, because falling in the round of 16 is more of the same), but with 740,401 fans on the networks who, possibly, at this time will no longer have so much devotion. It is possible, who knows, that one of the forwards that the coach has in his Mobile Fantasy League, for example, Iago Aspas, would have scored one of those penalties.
“Spain invents football ‘hospital food’: without salt, without color, without grace. ‘La Furia’ that enchanted between 2008 and 2012, is now boring”
Mauricio Noriega / ‘O Globo’ newspaper, from Brazil
And it is that, as he also said, with a provocative manner and haughty tone in his last press conference, Luis Enrique and his soldiers had decided to die with their ideas and style. That is to say: 77% possession, 1,019 passes and three shots on goal. And, of course, at the end of the game they all said “the rivals always present us with the same type of match.” Now, yes, always, and what do you and your coach do so that the same thing does not (almost) always happen to you. Well, nothing, to be eliminated because there is neither a ‘plan B’ nor do they want it, when even Pep Guardiola has ‘plan B’ and has just signed his alvaro morata, Erling Haaland ‘For siaca’.
The world was stunned last night after the elimination of Spain, as no one expected that the surprise of the round of 16 would be the selection of Luis Enrique, who had won over the world of critics because he had become just another ‘streamer’. Lie!, in one more ‘streamer’, no, because the coach was the ‘streamer’ that grew the most in the month of November and was on its way to reaching one million followers. Who knows, it is possible that Luis Enrique, if he leaves the national team, which remains to be seen, so much Luis Rubiales What Jose Francisco Molina, sports director of the Federation, are eager to renew him, among other reasons because the Asturian ‘mister’ is the best umbrella they have, now dedicate himself to competing with Ibai Llanos. Can.

What there is no doubt about is that his style, his game strategy, his way of approaching the matches has proven, at least in this World Cup, a true failure. Soccer no longer goes through possession but through the intention with which you handle that possession. Just two hours after Spain made a fool of themselves against Morocco, Portugal, without Cristiano Ronaldo, watch out for the data!, overwhelmed Switzerland 6-1. Do you know who won possession in that game? Switzerland, yes, with 54% possession. And he took a 6-1.
