Euro 2016: Hungary - Portugal, 3-3 (chronic)

FORGET ABOUT THE HEAD AND TACTICS, WAS ONLY THERE FOR THE HEART AND ONLY GAVE THE "LESSER EVIL".

Forget the head, the scheme and tactics - the 4x4x2, diamond, or more conservative, 4x3x3 or something like that. It was there by heart. Three times at a disadvantage and three times to recover worth the third place (with late goal from Iceland in the other game) and eighth of end with Croatia.
In the first less well achieved part of Euro 2016, the Team agreed to a goal failing to cancel two of the strengths of Hungary - one Dzsudzsák corner, as always creating confusion, relief and ball to fall in unprotected area, front to area - and half away, with the  old man  Gera to hit the ball well and this to come near the left post of Rui Patrício goal. The downside, after 20 minutes, emphasized the Portuguese disbelief, which had already started the game without apparent conviction. Or, if you prefer, at an excessively slow pace.
It was noted in these first 45 minutes, the response team to the appeals of Fernando Santos sometimes an uglier game, more direct. Pepe tried soon to open to the Nani Cristiano Ronaldo had failed to Iceland, with also advanced Fenerbahçe unable to master. Gestures of central Madrid for companions to go up before kickoff, some had served. He yes, it showed up very dynamic back there, and also tried to bring the ball to the attack.The most direct football sometimes seemed exaggerated, as the little effect which remained after this failed reception by Nani.
The first few minutes of João Mário denounced the average of Sporting was preparing to play a leading role in meeting this Wednesday in Lyon, drawing diagonals and trying to match Vieirinha on the right, but the goal of Gera would cool with these initiatives. Back to moments in the second half, it was important for the poor judgment that the team had. In growing.

Flamengo 0 x 3 Bangu - Decisão Carioca Championship - 1966

Almir 'Pernambuquinho' craque do Flamengo from 1965 to 1967


Iniesta is the sun

And everything revolves around him in the Spanish selection. The man of the flagship goals, which made ​​us believe that something big was brewing with his right hand to the square in the lair of English at Old Trafford in 2007. The same crowned us to you Spanish champions in July 2010 in South Africa to the Netherlands. Yet beyond such important goals as significant, yours is control of the game.

All float around him who invents the churning lines while agglutinates rivals to create spaces for the rest. From the inside left is the main catalyst of the game of Spain , which well understood by their presumable fellow industry (Alba from behind, Nolito ahead) can give the team great results.

He has been the best, but it would be unfair to forget the verticality of Nolito (the heir of Villa), the haunting but magical patience Silva, of the large number of records has offered Morata or excellent run of form of the central couple. They have been the most prominent does not mean that his colleagues have surrendered at a good level as well. De Gea has responded soberly how little has been demanded. Juanfran fulfilled, although Alba has been sharper. Busquets has swept with his usual solvency, perhaps only Cesc has tuneless, but we must recognize at least the knowledge to be sung to prevent a goal from the Czechs.

Aduriz has provided the goal that did not score. Sounds weird, but I mean it seemed the only conscious (Morata included) that this game is to introduce the ball into the net . It has enjoyed a couple of times when he has made ​​it clear that he has no doubts: it will search both by all means. A Pedro has not had time to too. Not that Thiago has much changed the landscape that gave Cesc. So?

Well , he had to be in the throes of a second monodirectional part (as most of the game), who see clearly where you had to put it. Soft center, measured at that place you could not arrive in time Cech but one of our auctioneers. His teammate at Barca, Pique, stabbed strongly by the post, impossible for the vast rival goalkeeper. After many hanging balls, the always was the one who saw it clearer. Above him turn, and he entrust us . Iniesta is the sun, which gives us life.

On Friday at 21h, next assault against Turkey, who lost yesterday against Croatia.
