The thunderous debut of Spain for the forms and the result triggers the illusion. Soccer cannot be played better than the National Team did, even though the context was so favorable due to the manifest fragility of Costa Rica. But the rival’s laziness should not spare praise for a team that governed with authority all aspects of the game. It was liked and liked, respecting the football codes that Luis Enrique has been incorporating. He touches himself a lot, but without forgetting the opposite goal and with a visible vertical ambition. That is why his offensive production was so buoyant and offered endless arrivals and chances that opened the doors of goals. “Maybe we don’t have a player who scores 30 goals, but we have a lot of players who can. We reached the goal in an associative way ”, said Luis Enrique, after the game. Justly.

Some overwhelming figures that give a good account of the collective recital that marked its World Cup inauguration. The key to everything was in positional mobility of the players. Even if they sensed that the ball was not going to reach them, they threw unmarks to drag rivals and clean up pass receptions. That is why one saw lively and precise circulation, which dazzled the whole world. The ball was released quickly, the opponent was fixed and players accumulated in finishing zones.

The collective dimension of the triumph emphasizes the correctness of the plan imposed by Luis Enrique. An approach that does not change anything to the line of work marked these years by the Asturian coach.

With a stroke of the pen, unless Germany dictates otherwise and prejudices appear again, Luis Enrique has liquidated the debate on the list and its technical decisions. They should never have been in question, but the crushing victory against Costa Rica confirms the coach even more. And to so many players…
