Un golpe al entusiasmoy al esfuerzo...podría titularse la crónica de este partido.
Por un lado un equipo, el argentino, con mucho esfuerzo, ganas, entusiasmo, fuerza, motivación; por otro lado el otro equipo, el brasileño, con las ideas claras, con una táctica, con una estrategia.
Talentos tenían los dos equipos, pero los talentos argentinos se encontraban con una defensa muy bien plantada, con una marca escalonada, con hombres que sabían lo que tenían que hacer, y así lo hicieron. En cambio el típico talento brasileño se encontró con espacios, con una defensa desequilibrada, que dejaba espacios, que dejaba campo y que dió oportunidades, esas oportunidades que a los talentos no se les puede permitir...
Diego sigue sin encontrar el rumbo como técnico, Dunga lo tiene bien claro.
Diego apuesta al talento, a la motivación, al apoyo del público...Dunga apuesta a la táctica, sabe que los grandes equipos se construyen de atrás hacia adelante...y Brasil, con una defensa bien armada, con una táctica bien cumplida, más el talento que siempre tuvo y permanece inalterable, es muy dificil de vencer...
Los otros resultados ayudaron a la Argentina, quizás entre al mundial, pero tendrá que modificar muchas cosas para mostrar algo más que fuerza, empeño, entusiasmo, garra y talento...
EL FUTBOL DE HOY YA NO ES SOLO ESO, SE NECESITA ALGO MAS, ESE ALGO MAS QUE MOSTRO AYER BRASIL...

A blow to enthusiasm from strength. That could be the chronicle of this game.
On the one hand a team, the Argentine, with a lot of effort, desires, enthusiasm, force, motivation. On the other hand the other team, the Brazilian, with clear ideas, with tactics, with a strategy. Both teams had talent, but the Argentine talents found a very well-organized Brazilian defense, with outrageous marking, with men that knew what they had to do, and thus they did it.
On the other hand, the typical Brazilian talent found his counterpart with spaces, with an unbalanced defense, that gave up the field and opportunities. Such opportunities that can not be permitted to talented players.
Diego Maradona continues without finding the way as a tactician. Carlos Dunga has it clearly figured out.
Diego bets on the talent, on the motivation, on the support from the public.
Dunga bets on tactics, and he knows that great teams are built from the back to the front. Brazil, with a well-armed defense, with a well-conceived tactical plan, with more talent than they always had and still remain unalterable, is very difficult to conquer.
The other results last night helped Argentina, who knows about the World Cup qualification? But they will have to modify many things to show something more than force, commitment, enthusiasm, fight, and talent.
Modern football is not only these things, you need something more,About the Author
and this something extra was demonstrated last night by Brasil.
