Russia Threatens hoped Germany

Now or never. The plot forge selection in this young rebelled against their genetic loser. The players are looking sharp with the faces by wear and faith of the possessed person. It encouraged with words and pushing, with that aggressiveness that is part of the liturgy of a dressing room, where the desire for victory is perceptible even in the smell.

With the antibodies generated by the triumph versus Italy, Spain is measured in semifinals tonight in Vienna, the heir to Russia that the Soviet Union before it won its only title whatsoever in the Euro 1964. If that was against Italy defeat the ghosts of the past, compared to the new rival is necessary to beat real footballers, and grown convinced, thanks to Guus Hiddink has organized his talent and improved self-esteem of the Slavic soul on a playground. This is another Dutch wandering ghosts that Spain should enclose, once and for all, along with others in the attic of their frustrations. Only in this way can defeat Germany in the grand finale.

The Spanish international had not born in 1964 and a good number nor had done when Michel Platini Cole the ball under the body of Arconada, 20 years later. The feats in black and white are not in their ipod. I really interest them or because they have not grown up in nostalgia, but in triumph. They have been champions of Europe and the world in almost all categories, whether Torres, Xavi, Casillas ... together, separately, with colleagues who in some cases no longer engaged, nor soccer and reminiscent between laughs.

They have been winners on their computers and are determined to be faithful to that status in the selection. They lack a game to feel that way and then have 90 minutes in front of Ballack's Germany, fewer names than other times but with the same shaft, in order to catch up by Luis Suarez, Amancio or Iribar. That's history.

The first meeting takes place tonight at the Prater in Vienna and can say that the opponent is not the same as that Spain Golea in Innsbruck for two reasons: its will and its star. The first has changed radically from the caution to boldness, which marks the current tournament. The second is the alignment of Arshavin, who leaves a track where passing inescapable, as an Attila with boots.

Luis Aragones retains the same team from the start and looking like a script, but the tranquility that has enjoyed in Neustift was altered yesterday, the move to Vienna for the announcement of his signing by the Fenerbahçe of Turkey. It was not the right time, but perhaps himself and Luis turkish club wanted to avoid the temptation that in a climate of euphoria, some managers of the Federation or the environment of technical rethink its continuity. Even when confronted with one of the parties that can put a laurel to his career, Luis may discharge small controversies that have overshadowed his good offices behind closed doors. It is their fate.(source: elmundo)
