MADRID – Barcelona loss in the Champions League became bad omen for Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque. Del Bosque worry that Spanish style of play has been "read" by opponents in the World Cup 2010.
Barcelona knocked out of Europe tournament after beaten by Inter Milan in the semi-final. On the second leg on Wednesday (04/28/2010), Barca dominated the games and holds a 75 per cent of the ball possession. However, up to 90 minutes, the Blaugrana could only scored one goal, so they defeated by Inter with the 2-3 aggregate.
"That’s a reflection of what can happen to us and football as a whole. A team of technically superior … a team that completely dominate the situation, but could not win," said Del Bosque as told to Associated Press.
‘I think this warning comes at the right time and we can not deny it. He who does not want to see this same thing just to live outside of reality,’ he added.
Such threats also apply to "La Furia Roja", which is mostly filled by the Barca players such as Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets. The second game was almost the same team, which played a one or two touches.
In fact, games like that can not penetrate the massive tightening of defenses such as exhibited by Inter. Catenaccio style like that are normally undertaken by Italy in the past and it is not impossible happen again at either the World Cup by Italy and other teams.
"Every team that work together and play together and have the strength to rise up through the counter-attack can destroy you," said Del Bosque associated with the defeat of Spain in the Confederation Cup in 2009 due to counter-attack the United States.
"In football, you can not survive with what you did yesterday. You should always have the intention (to advance) and is always ready to face difficulties. You should not change your ways and attitudes, but there are moments in a game where you have to adapt . you should be ready to work because our opponents will attack us in other ways, "he said.
In South Africa later on, Spain became one of the favorites in addition to Brazilian champions, England, Germany, and Argentina. In the provision of Group H, the team "Matador" will face Switzerland, Honduras, and Chile.
