Post by: Falgarok on April 21, 2002, 09:48:05 PM: You\'re right.
Spain has some of the most skilled players in Europe, but we\'ve basically 3 problems:

A) Most of them like to play on their own, not for the team (Raúl or Hierro are a few exceptions).

B) We like to use like a trizillion of passes and dribblings in each play. Most of the time that ends with one of our players trying to dribble 2-3 opponent players. That\'s just plain stupid, and I\'m pretty sure that our attacks would be much more effective if we can change that.

C) The extreme pressure of the press. Everyone here knows that the press likes to hype the team constantly, but at the same time, they seem to expect that the team will crash or something. It\'s been like this for as long as I can remember, and actual players grew up with it. That\'s not good for the moral of the team (to say the least), specially when half of the time in the news is devoted to football.

I think that we took football far too seriously sometimes.

PS:Anyway... N. Ireland 0-5 Spain :D:D
