'The Spanish have characterised the past decade with their intricate passing game. We wondered at times if it would ever end. It seemed as though they had almost perfected the game. But the game always moves on…It seemed it would go on forever. But it's all about to end. Nothing, is forever.'
The commentator hit the nail on the head today.
The game does move on. One manager picks the lock. Then another, and another until what once seemed unstoppable, can barely get going.
It is exactly what happened to Spain. They seemed slow, stationary, sterile.
The Netherlands and Chile, both differing styles, but yet both dominated the Spanish.
The idealistic game had no answers the questions being asked.
'Is tiki taka dead?. Certainly not. They've simply forgotten how to win.'
Perfectly said.
