Luis Enrique

knew very well

that, if things did not go well, the shadow of

Sergio Ramos

would fly over the concentration of his team. And things are not that they are not going well, it is that they are fatal, so the shadow of Sergio Ramos covers the entire

Ciudad del Fútbol of Las Rozas

, and more after seeing how yesterday a top-level striker like

Robert Lewandowski

ate (or dined) literally at the two Spanish centrals. Especially stark was the launch of the Polish goal, where, beyond debating whether it was a foul or not,

Laporte's

weakness

was blushing. It happens that the goal was the most striking, but not the only thing.

Especially in the second half, the

Bayern Munich forward

unhinged the entire Spanish defense by himself.

Pau Torres

(nine games with Spain) and Laporte (three with yesterday's) looked very small before the size of one of the great forwards in the world.

In the divided balls, he took five of the 16 fouls that Spain made.

Playing with his body, stroking, always making the ball uncomfortable,

Robert

, 32, made his team great during the second half, where perhaps he missed someone with more experience, with more stripes, and the mind inevitably leads to Ramos.

"Our centrals are going to eat Lewandowski"

Just as inevitably it was that the famous phrase of

Ferran Torres

this week

went through the public's head

: "Our centrals are going to eat Lewandowski," said the

Manchester City

winger

, no matter how much Luis Enrique, in the previous one, put in doubt that he would have said it. He said it, and he obviously said it in a joking tone, but the truth is that, seeing the game, the phrase was not the most accurate.

"

It was a fantastic night for us,

" later analyzed the Pole, who scored his 67th goal for his national team in the 121 games he has played. Considering the performance, the question remains as to what would be of this player with a little more help from his teammates. Actually, there is no doubt, because when he surrounds himself with good players, in his team, the numbers are brutal: this season he has scored

48 goals in 40 games

, an outrage that no footballer of the Spanish team. "

Spain is a great team

and for us it is a great result," continued the best player of the match, no matter how much UEFA chose Jordi Alba for such an honor.

"Having such a player is a privilege.

I think he

is the best pure striker

in world football today, ”explained

Paulo Sousa

, the elegant Polish coach, who sent a message of encouragement to the Spanish, predicting that both teams will be in the round of 16.

With him, with Lewandowski, and with nothing else, Poland started the second draw against the Spanish team, who yesterday missed more forcefulness and more experience in their defense.

You can put whatever name you want, but in La Cartuja the thoughts went to the man of the 180 games with Spain.

His name is Sergio Ramos.
