There is the goal of the momentary advantage, yes. But there is also the usual two-sided performance, complete with a horrendously spattered ball on the bottom after the post from Gerard Moreno’s penalty. And when the result is not what we hoped for, unfortunately for Alvaro Morata, only negative episodes remain in people’s memory.
So, here we go again: the Juventus striker is back in the crosshairs of the people and critics after the draw remedied by the Spain against the Poland. A bad result, which further complicates the life of Luis Enrique’s men and forces them to beat Slovakia on the last day without ifs ands to reach the round of 16. So much for the soft group.
Morata put his part in it. He scored 1-0, as mentioned. But then he devoured the doubling by catching the ball thrown against the post, on a penalty, by Gerard Moreno and kicking it badly on the bottom.
At the end of the match, the Juventus center forward complained about the whistles received by the team after the 1-1 draw in Seville:
“People can say what they want if I start worrying about things like that now… We are in a country where giving an opinion is free and easy. So the fans can say what they want ”.
A piqued answer that triggered the reaction of Josep Pedrerol, the host of the popular ‘Chiringuito de Jugones, not at all tender towards the player:
“Morata is not a player who makes you dream. On the pitch he is lazy. Do you complain after such a mistake? He had already prepared the little speech, because he thought he was going to win the game. He thought: ‘I scored, now we win and I have the speech ready’. We cannot allow a Selección player to say that criticism is free in Spain. He cannot play a single extra minute with the national team ”.
In short, the problems for Morata with Spain continue. Not at all relieved by the network with Poland and the subsequent embrace with coach Luis Enrique. What now could decide to leave him initially on the bench for the decisive match against Slovakia.
