  • Opinion Luis Enrique charges his game of big game

It is not worth saying that

Germany

played walking, that they played.

It is not worth saying that the competition does not excite those who are already favorite, who do not.

It goes without saying that when they were so low on the scoreboard,

Löw's

team

did not even attempt to try.

It is not worth saying any of that, because it would be to detract from a historical review of the Spanish team, which took one of the greats, the really great ones, on a wonderful night.

The gale was undeniable

.

A growing team, in formation, Spain, crushed another team, this consecrated one, and that, beyond obtaining the ticket to a

Final Four

more beautiful than important, is the push that

Luis Enrique's

project probably needed

.

It would be advisable not to be blinded by the flash, as there is still a long way to go and there will be some more stumbling, even several, but in this way humiliating a group like the Germanic inevitably leads to the fact that, in a few years, hopefully, the game will be underlined in red as the start of something.

It has been many years since an exhibition of Spain of this magnitude has been seen.

And less against an opponent of that size.

Good football, speed, vertigo, forcefulness ...

The perfect night

.

Koke and Rodrigo's wand

It is very difficult for more things to happen in 45 than in the first ones yesterday.

Channels broke.

Spain took command of the party.

Spain pressed.

Spain combined.

Morata

scored the first.

Spain kept pressing.

Spain kept combining.

Ferran

scored the second.

Spain kept pressing.

Spain kept combining.

Rodrigo scored the third.

Ramos broke (or almost).

All at breakneck speed, all under the astonished gaze of

Kroos, Goretzka, Gündogan, Sané

,

Werner and Gnabry

.

Because all those played.

It was a disconnected Germany, yes, but those are the names.

Useless, the names, before the vertigo and hunger of Spain, which had more than enough what it had lacked until now.

He had to start a huge midfielder.

Koke

is the glue that makes everything around it better.

Without the reins that hold him at Atlético, taking advantage of the more positional version of

Rodrigo

(his night also capitalized), he was levitating through the three-quarter zone to give continuity to football, and at his side

Fabián, Dani Olmo

and even Ferran

grew

up, that shattered his side, sunk in misery for 70 minutes.

Ferran scored three, but wasted another four or five times.

Ferran, Morata and Olmo, a hammer

It is true that, in the first half, two of the three goals were from set pieces, but it should be remembered that it is a resource like any other.

In the first, Morata rose majestically at the far post.

From there the night went downhill for Spain.

Unai Simón

, the new bet, who knows if the final one, by Luis Enrique for the goal, was a spectator in times when there are no spectators.

Ahead on the scoreboard, Spain delved into German indolence.

Morata made a special contribution to this, taking the center-backs out of place, and maddening, to be the fundamental link in the selection's ball out, clean thanks to him.

The second arrived, taking advantage of Ferran that the crossbar spat a header from Dani Olmo after a collective play of the many that were seen last night in

La Cartuja

.

The third, almost followed, was scored by Rodri in another corner, like the opening one.

Spain, unleashed, did not take the break as its own and, on its return, ended up shattering the four-time world champion.

The plan varied.

It was no longer a Spain of long possessions, of continuity in the game and of making the superiorities on the wings its own.

On the contrary, he consciously took a step back and dynamited the timid German attempt, to which more bullfighting shame than real desire led to trying something impossible.

With meters ahead, Spain played as they had never played before.

He transitions to three, four touches to stand in front of

Neuer

, stunned at what was coming.

Ferran completed his magical night with two goals, but along the way there were options for Morata, for Olmo, for Koke ... To all this, Unai Simón continued playing.

Treating Germany like a mess, the team that Luis Enrique is building emptied the goal problem of content.

That perhaps it is still a problem, who knows, but what there is no doubt about is that it would be mean to dwell on it the night that Spain drew one of the best memories it will have in all its history.
