Spain – Russia 4:1

June 11th, 2008

The Euro 2008, was a textbook game richer. Because the Spaniards were against Russia, which offensive football all of the new era can offer. Xavi, Iniesta, Torres and David Villa entzauberten Eleven of the coach Guus Hiddink after all the rules of art. To break it was 2:0, ultimately referee Konrad Plautz whistled at 4:1.
It was impressive how Spain before 31,400 spectators in Innsbruck in scene set. All combinations seemed sure, even the lawn glitschnasse the attacks could not stop the Spaniard. Russia seemed powerless, the defense uncoordinated and over large parts of the game powerless. Man of the Match was David Villa, all three goals achieved, and rightly from fans and players can celebrate.Abramovich missing
His thought was nervous, especially the vertebrae, the Russians fans at the Tivoli produced. But not Roman Abramovich was on the ground, whose seat reserved by Leonid Tiagatschew, the chief Olympier, was occupied.
Adel also lacked money, foreshadowing or not. This was because Crown Prince Felipe of Spain, accompanied by Letizia, his wife. And at least what Answers Ness and efficiency concerns, offered the Spaniards, so to speak royalen football. Hardly had feared it could reignite a football as in France Romania, the more likely to shadow boxing recalled, as was the fate of quasi double its course, not only because it is after a first-verjuxten Russians then chances within two Took minutes. A kind of “double fault”, the Kolodin (against Torres) and goalkeeper Akinfeev, the premature herausgelaufen and thus opened the door had allowed David Villa (19) 1:0 for Spain.
Verstolpert, lost everything
And no two minutes of the Russians was the compensation in an action first verstolpert before Semjanov only hit the pole, almost symptomatic of the game of the Russians, some of which combined toll, including the alleged better team, but mistakes again produced, the they ultimately umbrachten. Who forward not true, but Spanish top caliber of a cyclone that wind like Torres and Villa with errors as yet Konter served is the enemy of itself, which also fanatical Rossi-Sprechchore not help.
Had the two exchanged storm peaks, then? Against Villa, from double-to triple pack stylized, and Torres were the Russians-Striker Pawljutchenko Sychev and blunt weapons, just as Russia had football after the failure of Pogrebnjak (injured) and Aschawin (locked) disarmed. And that ultimately made the decisive difference. There was also a trainer Guus Hiddink as Koryphae no objection. He wanted to pull the emergency brake by the previously only eingewechselten Bystrow brought back from the field. He had all his targets are not met and that the maximum penalty. It helped but Russia no longer the turn. The 1:3 by Pawljutchenko (86) came too late. The crowning goal of the festival succeeded Fabregas, 90 minutes in the Final reached 4:1.
