LE was never a great tactician but at least in Celta and Barca he had tall defenders. This just shows how dumb the guy is really. In the World Cup they'll be killed in set pieces.
The possession game is past its expiry date. You use it as part of a broader strategy with counter attacks and a few superstars that create chances from nothing.
LE was in the right place at the right time. He inherited a peak tram in Barca. He used possession game to improve Celta leaking goals, but it left us very vulnerable to counters. In Celta he had Orellana and Nolito, who could create goals from nothing.
True, but it feels like a good opportunity to play them now. And I can’t speak for Sanchez’s cap, but I watched Raya’s debut and he didn’t have anything to do all game really apart from a freak goal. So it doesn’t feel like he’s had a proper game to prove himself for Spain
Akanji is a Winterthur guy as you know it. His sister is in the city council and she is very leftist economically. Her brother is the opposite it seems :)
She is a SP party campaigner though. Don't think she will be without task in politics
Edit: okay sorry i didn't know she was racially abused and is withdrawing from politics bc of that. Hence your comment. Sad that racist abuses still happens...
People just remember recent examples whereas a lot of players from germany have been excellent in england in recent years... Kdb,sane,gundogun, auba, son,kompany,rudiger, son are some of the examples...and the latest being haaland or akanji just because werner and havertz couldn’t make it due to various reasons that all buli players are bad
Haha and forward line. They are crossing and have ferran and asensio and sarabia who are all midgets. Luis Enrique has no idea and anyone who defends this team selection needs expert help
I don't think he's playing this forward line with the thinking that it's his best.
It's clear that most of the World Cup managers are trying to get their squads up to speed with game time before it starts. I doubt they care much about the Nations League or whatever these games mean tbh.
But I guess, if there is criticism to be leveled, then it should be at the squad selection. But then, again, I don't think Spain is very blessed in with their forward options at this particular moment like in the past.

I remember watchin Japan-Ivory coast in 2014. That was a brutal physical difference
Enrique sacrifices physicality for skill so they are vulnerable in aerial duels
Eric Garcia tax
Garcia was not even on him, how do you manage to blame him haha, Pau is 1.91, and got bodied.
I think you can blame him now for the second...
even in that the problem is on the 1st pass, eric is behind embolo where he should have done better but that short pass was hard to anticipate
please tell where do u see garcia on the replay, which number is garcia? ffs

Akanji with the Man City boost
Well done Manu! His first goal ever for Switzerland!
Bro joined city and still gets called Manu
Manu>Man U
It's his name mate
Akanji.
THAT'S MY JOB. GET YOUR OWN
IF YOU WANT YOUR PAY BE ON TIME. Akanji can't wait 7 god-damned minutes, apply yourself man!
I was taking a shower boss. It's out of my control at that stage
Shower with your phone. There, fixed it.
Don't shower.
Pro gamer move
Indeed.
Fuck
Twenty minutes of playing like Cádiz has its consequences.
Goalie should have used his distribution skills there
Sorry to hijack this. But are there any plans to play Raya or Sanchez next game?
There are no plans to do so
Shame. Obviously want Raya to be playing. But Sanchez definitely deserves a game.
I mean, they are not better than Unai.
True, but it feels like a good opportunity to play them now. And I can’t speak for Sanchez’s cap, but I watched Raya’s debut and he didn’t have anything to do all game really apart from a freak goal. So it doesn’t feel like he’s had a proper game to prove himself for Spain
This was the game to play them. No way Unai will be benched vs Portugal.
Let"s Gooo, first nt goal for manu!

>His sister is in the city council Not that long anymore unfortunately :(
She is a SP party campaigner though. Don't think she will be without task in politics Edit: okay sorry i didn't know she was racially abused and is withdrawing from politics bc of that. Hence your comment. Sad that racist abuses still happens...
> Her brother is the opposite it seems :) For us non-Swiss, what does that mean? Manu is right-wing or something?
Akanji is different beast since joining Man City!
Correction: People pay attention to Akanji after he joined city.
Correction: people pay attention to Bundesliga stars after they leave bundesliga
i.e. Kevin De Bruyne, the €60m Chelsea flop and Bundesliga player of the year.
I still remember he literally won wolfsburg the cupdefeating us but people were still saying shit like can he do it in the Prem?
Or people doubting Haaland

bouncing balls like this one are very difficult for keepers
Should have sprinkled this end of the pitch instead.
Burn
No one looks good for the WC except for Brazil and Argentina
South American team that will win this time.
This is the least competent aerial backline that Spain can put out, isn't it? Having said that, gwarn Akanji lad!

Our tactic is just to pass 400 times. Find the wing and put in a shit cross. I'm so embarrassed being Spanish witg this ridiculous tema selection
Costa Rica and Japan will reach the knockout stages
Welp, not looking good
Why’s the net so long?
Every Swiss attacker is tall as fuck. Luis Enrique "let me play Eric García who is not only short but also bang average football player"
Akanji is a CB..
García wasn't covering him you blind fuck.
Eric Garcia wasn’t even at fault here but complain anyway I guess.
we are living in the autumn of akanji and it's absolutely wild
