It was always a little more. Although Germany was the one that needed to win the game the most, Spain did not give up its DNA made in Luis Enrique. The team, ball on the ground, movement, possession, attack on the wings, vertical. The issue is that the fine tuning did not arrive and, on top of that, a certain adequacy at the time of starting the play gave the Germans chances that not even they expected.
And he insisted so much that Morata’s great goal came. A goal that sums up what Luis Enrique wants for his teams. Because in three touches he went from defense to attack, because Busquets did not slow him down, because Jordi Alba was projected to give Olmo a pass and then Morata would anticipate Sule for the 1-0.
Desperation, necessity or whatever they want to call it, rushed Germany, which then did risk everything for everything to create danger and not wait for the error of others. In that bet, it was clear that he would leave spaces for the counter that Spain has not taken advantage of.
In this insistence, the Spaniards were slow to react and Germany had a one-on-one at Musiala’s feet who, if he raised his head a little, touched the center and there was a tie. He fell in love with the definition of him, he hit the goalkeeper’s body very straight and the dream vanished.
