Final: Spain 6-0 Germany
Scored: Morata (17) Ferran Torres (33, 55, 71); Rodri (38); Mikel Oyarzabal (89)

Spain should have been in a very different position before hosting Germany in the final match of the A4 Nations League group this season if they beat Switzerland a few days ago. That day, although Spain led but enjoyed two penalties in the second half, only midfielder Sergio Ramos, who is a world-class 11-meter forward, missed in a confusing fashion.

Especially in the situation where La Roja received the second penalty, the referee also disqualified the player who committed the foul on the Swiss side. So if Ramos is successful, Spain will at least level the gap soon in the context of playing more than the person in the last 10 minutes, so victory is within reach. In fact, Spain also scored at the end of the match, but could only achieve a 1-1 draw.

Although the Swiss draw is unfortunate, but from here it is possible to draw the conclusion that “Gaur” with coach Luis Enrique really fell into the recession period because it was his fifth failure after 7 games. best in all fields.

Germany has also faced many problems and faced the risk of a crisis. However, unlike Spain, Germany rose on time. This November meeting, teachers and coaches Joachim Loew marched to Spain with a record of winning both games: beating the Czech Republic 1-0 (friendly) and defeating Ukraine with a score of 3-1 in the series. Penultimate in the Nations League last weekend.

In fact, Spain also foresaw the possibility of dying against Germany, so they took the initiative to save the best strength for this match. Some pillars in the hands of coach Luis Enrique were allowed to rest or simply enter the field from the bench in the Swiss draw, such as José Gaya, Álvaro Morata, Rodri, Koke have reappeared on the starting list. However, Unai Simon, the Bilbao goalkeeper who was trapped in the third consecutive game and De Gea had to sit outside, is still standing in the wooden frame.

As for Germany, coach Joachim Loew adjusted only one position in relation to the victory over Ukraine when the midfielder was present in the main midfielder Toni Kroos instead of the midfielder Rudiger (the diagram was adjusted from 3-4- 3 becomes 4 -3-3). However, a few days ago, Germany did not spend too much energy against Ukraine, so basically having to play continuously is not a big problem.

Because they had to win if they wanted to win first place, Spain decided to risk attacking immediately after kickoff. La Roja’s first chance was a free kick from midfielder Sergio Ramos’s advantageous distance, but Manuel Neuer threw the save for Mannschaft.

Around the 12th minute, the local team soon had to adjust squad when Sergio Canales, a prodigy of the once born in 1991 of Spanish football, but in recent years was really famous and now dressing Betis, suffering pain after a management phase . and he had to leave the field to make room for Fabián Ruiz, a midfielder who plays for Napoli.

And then, only in the 17th minute, Spain made the lead by one goal. Following the corner kick from “reluctantly double” Fabián Ruiz, Morata demonstrated his ability to fight without fighting because his partner, Serge Gnarby, was never good at this and Unai Simon was defeated. .

In the 25th minute, the German network vibrated for the second time after a shot by Morata (this time with his foot) from the center of Ferran Torres (Man City), but the referee raised the flag to report offside. However, this is a relatively sensitive ball and because VAR is not applied in the UEFA Nations League, the “whistle” cannot happen.

But Spain did not have to wait too long to celebrate the goal. After being denied a shot by Neuer with his foot, Ferran Torres calmly volleyed the corner. Before that, Dani Olmo (Leipzig) had a technical jolt to hit the crossbar.

Ferran Torres’ career has been steadily advancing after joining Man City at the start of the 2020/21 season. The player born in 2000 gradually became an important pillar in both the host team and the Spanish team. The last goal was Torres’ second goal after 7 appearances with La Roja.

38 minutes, not fully recovered after taking 2 hits “diamond painting”, Germany received the third goal. Still off a Koke corner kick (acting on the opposite side compared to the open score), Rodri defeated his Manchester City teammate, Gundogan, to launch a dangerous header, without giving Neuer a chance.

However, before the end of the first half, Spain suffered further personnel losses as No. 1 midfielder Sergio Ramos was under pressure to keep playing and the cause appeared to be overloaded. Eric Garcia, a 19-year-old Man City midfielder, replaced.

Being driven too far, Germany had no choice but to agree to get on the team to attack after the break to save a bit of hope of winning fragile points. However, when the attacker went through a very bad day (he could hardly reach the Spanish goal), the defense was already weak and thinner due to the concentration of forces to attack.

As a result, the visitors were conceded for the fourth time in the 55th minute. In an attack, the right wing of the German team in Ginter’s hands was easily attacked and in the end, José Gaya gently stretched. Ferran Torres scored a double.

63 minutes, a little more young star of “generation Z” wearing the Man City jersey to complete a hat-trick if the kick on the 16m50 line goes exactly more than four inches. The Germans had almost given up after receiving the 4th goal, so they were still in a state of euphoria and torture.

Of course, in such a one-way match, it is only a matter of time before Spain scores more goals. In the 71st minute, Ferran Torres finally landed his first career hattrick, not just limited to the national team jersey. Still from a counterattack, Fabián Ruiz advanced the forward, born in 2000, to make a very sweet cut from outside the 16m50 line, without giving Neuer a chance.

After celebrating his “incredible” hattrick, Ferran Torres happily left the field with Morata and Dani Olmo. Exactly in the 79th minute, Germany had the first and only … final in the match when Gnarby swung his cannon shot from a distance of more than 20 meters and the crossbar saved the home team.

Before the game was over, Spain rushed to an “incredibly monumental” 6-0 victory. Despite concentrating many players in the 16m50 area, Germany still allows local players to coordinate comfortably to concede Manuel Neuer. The attacker is Mikel Oyarzabal, a forward wearing a Society shirt.

Thus, Spain had a victory that exceeded expectations to take the final No. 1 position of the A4 UEFA Nations League group, which means becoming the second team after France in Group A3 to register for the final. only for the first 4 teams of the 4 groups of League A).

The Germans suffered one of the most embarrassing failures in their heroic history despite being appreciated before the game. This is a misfortune that is difficult to eliminate. The recent terrible defeat also shattered all hopes for a “rebirth” of Die Mannschaft under long-term coach Joachim Low.
