Playing with the vitola of being the world champion guarantees nothing. Less in these windows that are also a trap, although the selection transforms them so many times in other people's admiration. It is his merit, take the brown as if it were a prize, make professionalism and commitment your flag. But it is not always expensive. Sunday in Zaragoza turned out to be a nightmare. For the defeat against Poland, but especially for the bad body that left the injury of Santi Yusta.

He did not lose an official Spain match at home since the defeat in the quarterfinals at the National World Cup, in the Sports Palace, against France back in 2014. After the first quarter, Poland was far superior. Although most worrying, without a doubt, was the way in which the eaves of Iberostar Tenerife left Prince Felipe.

After winning they are solvency in Romania, Spain was touched by a much fiercer rival and that came with the recess nailed (and the need) to have fallen at home against Israel. Poland are eight of those who surprised the world in the last World Cup in China, reaching the rooms where in Shanghai they found a cyclone. But that selection was barely left Sunday in Zaragoza Beirán and Rabaseda. So the afternoon at Prince Philip was a good toothache.

And that the dawn foreshadowed something else. Spain took distances soon (28-19), but it was diluted at the same speed, falling in precipitation, in the losses that condemned it (eight in the second act, 23 in total) and that woke up the Poles. Especially AJ Slaughter. The nationalized base of Betis, a solo author of 29 points that day in Shanghai, gradually came up, marking differences. At the beginning of the third act, the thing got ugly; in the end, all alarms were already sounded (53-64, min. 29).

Scariolo could not find an answer and that the team dominated the rebound -Sáiz, a colossus-. Like the skinny dog ​​... Brizuela was injured in the left ankle, Sáiz made the fourth and the area did not work at all. But everything can get worse. As the difference increased, a chill ran through Prince Felipe with the fall of Santi Yusta into a penetration, where he injured his left knee. From that moment, the game began to give the same.
