Vilda & Luisen things

The spanish national team football coaches are a couple of guys of the most peculiar types. The fact is that their formula works for them, in general terms. I'm going to develop it.
Tassotti's elbow, if my memory serves me correctly, caught Luis Enrique as a Real Madrid player. Only one Real Madrid player, bleeding from the nose as if he were fighting in Rocroi, would not receive a penalty in those circumstances. I saw it on the beach, with forks in the bar's antenna strategically placed so as not to lose the signal. The Salinas thing. The Baggio thing.
There we also had a peculiar trainer, in that past of Spain. Luis Enrique, a madridista. It seems that he only played for Barcelona, but he will have more than 100 games with Madrid. What he did at Barça was score a lot, a lot. Especially in the classics. He was taking it personally. It is possible that some of that remains.
Luis Enrique is a good coach. And what happens with the selection is that he goes to his common places. He does not carry the best players in Spain, no. He has an idea of the game and certain preferences, such as betting on players from La Masía or goalkeepers who do not generate debates against his number 1: Unai. But he gets the point, more or less. Because he knows about football, because his team is recognizable in the game, because he has some power in the bench. And then we must remind that we are not exactly facing the most brilliant generation in our history.
Do I criticize or praise him? Well, a bit of everything. It is clear that the 11 starter of the uncalled-up team would very possibly win the match against 11 of Luis Enrique, by hierarchy at least (Ramos, Aspas, Gerard Moreno, Thiago...). But Spain will be a tough rival in the World Cup. Not shiny, probably, but a hard team. We will not be the last Spain of Del Bosque that was so grim. So let's wait. And the right wing will be ours, merengue, if nothing strange happens. Good luck.
And now Vilda. Well, the guy has beaten Argentina 7-0 in Melilla. I know, I know, they will tell me that female Argentina has nothing to do with male Argentina. But think about the average fans, who turn on the radio to listen to the sports summary and they listen that Spain has won Argentina 7-0 in the women's category... do you think they will understand something at the 15 illustrious? Would we have won 8-0, 9-0 with them? I don't know exactly how, but things are working out for Vilda.
Oh yes, I know why. The locker room of Spain was barçunified, with exorbitant egos, as they are making clear the more time passes. The new team is less brilliant but healthier in that. Ivana, Olga, Zornoza, Misa... welcome players and make them grow. Long live the Spain merengue.
Do I criticize or praise Vilda? Well, rather the first. The credit, I think, is not for him, but the players. And you can't think, no matter how much on a personal level some are disappointing so much, that we can afford to go to a great competition without Bonmatí or Putellas. But, I do not see an easy or satisfactory solution to the thing. They cannot win their pulse, but neither can this be entrenched for five years. The best solution would be for them, all 15 of them, to take a public step back. Perhaps it is too much to ask. I will be satisfied if they don't attack Paralluelo, who scored 3 and also went out at a press conference ¡with Vilda!. Brave.
Of ours players, Athenea and Oroz scored, we saw Olga smile, many debutants and goals everywhere.
Long live Melilla! Magnificent place for such a victory
