The really

difficult

thing

in football is choosing well

.

Almost all professional players (not all) understand the rules of the game and almost all, although some less, naturally assimilate tactical concepts.

The key, then, the difference between the good and the bad, is to choose well

.

All the coaches say it: decision making, when to face, when to stop the game, when to change orientation, when to dribble, when to hit the ball, etc ... causes a natural selection of footballers.

Those who never get it right are the very bad.

Those who get little hit, the bad guys.

Those who get half right, the regulars.

Those who get a lot right, the good ones.

And the ones that get (almost) everything right, the very good ones.

Ansu Fati hits (almost) always

.

Ansu Fati is very good.

[Narration and statistics]

His appearance, before the eyes of

Florentino Pérez

, present on the field, leaves in the air the sensation of being before a huge, different footballer, dominator of situations that are increasingly out of use in football.

Dribbling, invention, fantasy, are the most attractive, but not the only thing about a different child.

The second youngest to debut with the national team's jersey, the youngest scorer in history ... Honors that hardly serve to confirm something much more important, and that is, with all the precautions required by his

17 years and 311 days

, Spain has from today one of the players who will be protagonists during the next decade in world football.

There were other appearances, forgotten after the initial flash, but none with the veracity that this boy transmits.

And it is simply because

Ansu Fati always chooses well

.

His was the government of the comfortable win with which Spain dispatched Ukraine on the second day of this strange competition that is the League of Nations, an anecdote after all because the important thing of the night was the number 17 on his back.

Lying on his left side,

Luis Enrique

asks two things from extremes like him.

That when the game starts they get inside to receive to leave the band free on their side (

Reguilón

, very good by the way, was Ansu Fati's lane partner yesterday) and that when the game is on the other side, wait for the change of orientation as open as possible.

This is how the Barça winger did, academic when he didn't have the ball,

anarchic

with it.

And it is precisely from that anarchy that its differential essence is born, because, in case it had not been clear, Ansu always chooses well.

He chose well in the first play of the game: get rid with a subtle touch of his side to face the central player already inside the area.

Poor

Kryvstov

gave him the penalty almost accidentally.

DOES EVERYTHING RIGHT

Downhill and at night, the boy spread his wings.

Boosted by the confidence of the coach first and his teammates once the ball started rolling, he received a ball, and another, and another.

And he always chose well.

He gave flight to Reguilón's unfolds, he

put balls between the lines to then look for the wall, he changed the orientation of the game looking for his teammates on the other side

.

Always the right decision.

Always at the right time.

Character should be added to that innate ability.

Shameless, oblivious to the circumstances that surround him, at times he plays as is played in the street, facing, pulling pipes, threatening, ultimately deceiving.

Shevchenko

, the Ukrainian coach, was stunned to attend Ansu Fati's exhibition,

the best news from Spain in many years

.

In his third shot on goal, he scored to put the finishing touch on his presentation.

Little was left behind the light spilled from the end, but something remained.

Luis Enrique repeated four starters from the Germany game, and gave film to guys he also likes a lot like

Dani Olmo, Mikel Merino or Reguilón

.

It does not matter, in the end, the one who always claims the few spots that are free is

Sergio Ramos

.

The captain scored the penalty and made it 2-0 in another play rehearsed by the coaching staff.

They were the prelude to the thunderous appearance of Ansu, who also arrived in Spain at the right time.

The selection, from failure to failure for eight years, disconnected from the heart, and the head, of the average fan, needs reasons for someone to take an interest in it again.

She has found a capital one.
