Analysis Spain: Can you scare Chile?

It is not comfortable putting our lives on the last day but it is nice to have six points and not be classified. Chile and Spain between a rock and a hard place. In addition, Marcelo Bielsa has to his credit with a history of denigrating to his professional history: not pass the first round of the 2002 World Cup when it was as unquestioned favorite to win. And the team was Argentina, neither more nor less.

Rosario coach is worthy of a memorial given the poor history of Chilean football, whose highest aspiration was to be fifth in the South American zone. However, not recognizing that those run by the former Newell's have increased their competitiveness, would try to block out the sun with a finger, something unfair, unnecessary and impossible.

But from there to believe and do believe that Chile is an impressive team, brave and with a thousand variants, is not telling the truth. To begin with, like the Argentina of 2002, the trans-Andean play a rhythm: attack, pressure and defend themselves without respite and that is its flaw. Valdivia, the closest thing to the kind of player who never liked the Argentine, is located too advance how to handle periods of play, making Chile defines its velocity from a single conception of play: dizziness.

In this regard, Bielsa appears to have learned nothing. Juan Roman Riquelme turned down in their prime and Argentina World Cup starred in the most embarrassing failure of its history. Riquelme Saying is believing that football is hiding out there time and the plays that change games. Not knowing another exercise in folly.

Bielsa not believe in it but in the hysteria, the relentless attack, and therefore, assumes a risk of monotony and the lack of surprise. Because speed alone will not change the fate of the game, but is the change of rhythm, and his surprise move just that Chile has, what makes you win or stay in the side of good intent.

And before it, Bielsa will meet Spain, a selection that has become vulnerable due to a defense that stands on its left wing. We believe that to try to stop Alexis Sanchez, the man is Arbeloa: fast, diligent and expeditious when in charge of skilled forwards and fast.

If Spain recovers the strength of yesteryear and the ball begins to move through Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta and Cesc, Torres and Villa can exploit his speed and hunger to score. The Red is bound to win, but no team better than Del Bosque to the damage to a Chilean national team that will try to run, run and run.

We assume that Bielsa will defend with four or, failing that, with five. If, however, is thrown into the adventure based on a defense of three, will not only lose, it will exit thrashed with another failure on his back and he deserved monument in Santiago de Chile, precisely, is the capital of football .
