Spain lost 2-0 in Holland, but I won’t grumble about that. It can happen, of course! The one thing I will grumble about is that Del Bosque does not have a formal plan to rebuild the team, with the known absences and the replacements he makes. That he played one team against Ukraine and then made nine changes for the Holland match is not the way to rediscover his team, in my opinion. Neither do I see the need to name so many players for two games, nor the obligation to play all apart from the third goalkeeper to ensure they return home happy. We are looking for a team, we are not in a plan of excursions.
Nine changes, he said, from the line-up against Ukraine to the one that played last night. Six of whom played until the end. If there is a plan, it must be very long term, because I cannot see the short-term one. To me, the team that played against the Ukraine seemed like the best one Spain could put out on the field. With the problem that Koke is not the same for Spain as he is for Atleti. It is a question of time, or not. But if he doesn’t insist on the formula or the player, it is difficult to let things run free. Within the roundabout of ins and outs in the squad, Koke was amongst those who did not continue last night. I wonder if that was the best way to bail him out.
Otherwise, the game yesterday was useless except to give some of the new players their debuts, which is to be congratulated. But the group improvised for the occasion and arrived in such disarray that within twenty minutes they had lost the match. Later on, with Holland winning and Spain in need, Iniesta and Silva came onto the pitch and things improved, but that only served to highlight the lack of end product. In the end, it was a sixth defeat in eleven matches. But that’s not what hurts. What hurts most is the feeling of lost time. The feeling that this is an excursion group.
