When in this life expectations border on excellence, everything that is minimally opposed to them is dangerously close to disappointment. The word ambition is a double-edged sword, and the U-21 team knows this very well. Accustomed to reigning in Europe (no one has more continental titles than her), spain It brings together a series of early talents in each tournament, a chain of relevant cards in First Division with which it is difficult not to qualify for the title. This European is no exception, but football is a conglomerate of circumstances where talent and ability are not synonymous with success. Individually, Spain was infinitely better than Swiss; However, the Helvetians, in an exercise of infinite tenacity, tied the match at the last breath, forced overtime and died in it after the final goal from John Miranda.
Far from the joy and hubbub of the first two matches of this Euro Cup, the footballers of Santi Denia they jumped onto the Bucharest lawn with doubts similar to those shown in the draw against Ukraine. His nerves were evident as he watched the uninhibited Switzerland challenge him for possession of the ball. What’s more, only the electricity of Rodriwith several shots after driving, and the magic of Brothers in the pass with risk, they allowed the Spaniards to breathe. Precisely a nice through ball from the Villarreal midfielder created the best chance of the first half; but Sergio Gómez, stumbled, failed to define in the one-on-one. Likewise, this occasion was the only example of good football in a first half characterized by slowness and tedious imprecision. The empty stands of the Giulesti stadium did not liven up the night either.
Around the locker room, the team rebuilt their armor and moved away from anxiety by touching the ball horizontally. Chance in the opposite goal was conspicuous by its absence and the 0-0 score seemed unchangeable; until Abel Ruízcalmly, found in the pass of death to Gómezwho with his left foot and low broke the equalizer in minute 68. Nothing else happened until the edge of the end, when the present surprised Spain: Von Moos, before the passivity of Pacheco and Paredes, found Amdouni between the lines so that the Basel sealed the tie in 93.
The extension was inevitable, but in it the selection found fortune. Mirandawith a shot that touched the opponent’s leg in the 103rd minute, found the winding path to the semifinals.
