ENTERED IN THE SECOND HALF
His world cup dream begins! Ansu Fati debuted in Japan-Spain
Spain lived through the second half of the match against Japan with fear and anxiety about what could or could not happen. Luis Enrique's response was to take Ansu Fati out onto the field who has seen his first minutes in a World Cup
The party of Spain (and the classification to eighth) was an authentic madness. The trained by Luis Enrique, in the second half when Japan gave the surprise of the traced back, went in in a dynamics that, up to now, was unknown: Not having control of the party and, especially, remain without ideas in spite of having the balloon constantly. The answers did not arrive in the field and neither from the bench.
The Asturian trainer gave gone in to Ferran Torres and Marco Asensio first to try change the panorama of the meeting and, although both 'improved' (between what fits) what there was in the terrain of game. However, it was not sufficient and did not remain another option that try what had not done up to now: give entrance to Ansu Fati.
And it is that, although it was one of the protagonists of the victory of Spain in the last previous proof to the World-wide, until this Thursday Ansu Fati had not had minutes with 'The Red'. Luis Enrique had done reference to that it was by the competition, but the doubts were more than the certainties. Against Japan, ingresó to the terrain of game in the minute 68 to replace to Gavi.
The entrance of Ansu was logical and, possibly, the only solution of emergency that could result him to Luis Enrique. The forward of the FC Barcelona is one of the players with more 'magic' of the changing room and one that is able to generate danger with very little. It situated like leading centre to be the main reference of the Spanish attack.
The defence of Japan did not yield
Although, from his entrance, Ansu showed dynamic and participatory, confronted in front of a very firm defence that did not yield spaces and that was very concentrated to keep the advantage in the marker. The selection of Japan did not leave options and Spain saw to weaken, very soon, any approach to the rival area.
For the Barcelona forward, in spite of the defeat, supposes a very important party, place was his return to the selection in a party ofivial for the first time from 13 October 2020, when it was present in the Ukraine-Spain of the Nations League. In the same, 'The Red' fell by the minimum (1-0) in a crash in which Ansu Fati played 58 minutes.
