Spanish Players Dream Of Winning The WC
Charged with breaking down a packed Honduran defence,Spain coach Vicente del Bosque opted to exploit the wide areas to help his team secure a vital first victory in Group H at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa?.As a result,Fernando Torres was deployed as a central striker,with David Villa and Jesus Navas flanking him on either side.
And it was via a mazy Villa run and finish,starting from his left-lying position,that the first goal came,with Sevilla youngster Navas also creating plenty of danger from the opposite wing.Thus,while it had been Spain's left flank which looked the stronger at the FIFA Confederations Cup last year,the European champions now also have a handy attacking outlet on the right.
"Navas gave a great deal of depth to our play," said Torres after the game.Navas added: "I've very happy with my contribution,but what mattered was the win.We may have missed a lot of chances but you've got to focus on the positives - we won the game."
Indeed,as Navas suggested,Spain's control of possession and constant attacking threat should perhaps have resulted in more than a 2-0 success."I don't think that we've had a good game.We ought to have won by more goals and I'm not totally happy," said La Roja coach Del Bosque.
Honduras was amateur at best.I mean they had no shots on target ALL game.Spain was playing like it was a training session and if they would've finished their chances it could have been ugly for the catruchas.No heart,no passion,no defense,certainly no offense,no skills,no team work,nothing from Honduras.Shame on them.It is clear that I am a Spain fan,yet a lot of the choices done by Del Bosque today were bad.Again we repeat ourselves,you can't force Xavi Hernandiz to play in that position,he was slow because of it,and the Spanish counter ability was with it.Torres should have not been switched,instead he should've been supported with David Silva from the start,and Villa position is forward.Navas didn't have any help from Ramos.Pedro is always better than Sergio.Sergio doesn't work will with Xavi.We didn't also see Xavi Alonso that much today.
Now most people think that the players in the spanish side dream of winning the WC like all other countries.Spain will never win a WC because playing for their country is not 1st choice,playing for there Clubs eg.barcelona,madrid is still no.1.You can see it especialy this morning game..no comunication & no supporting eachother when missed chances happen.I can see still the country divided as the rivalry between clubs..They have a great team & play the best football but the country & players still divided into there clubs....
