His name is Alexis María Martín-Tamayo Blázquez according to an article by Wikipedia but the world of Chirping knows him by his nickname: misterchip. Three things are known about him, that he is the number 1 reference in terms of sports statistics, that he is Spanish and that he is a fanatical fan of his team. All this automatically turned to the networks after the triumph of Morocco On Spain in the round of 16 Qatar World Cup. Anger, disappointment, pain but above all good data.
“historical ridicule” Alexis began by saying, Spain’s fate has just been doomed in a World Cup which saw them win 7-0 on their debut against Costa Rica but after conceding a 1-1 draw against Germanysurprise defeat with Japan 1-2 and this 0-0 against Morocco which will be remembered for the penalty kicks, in which Bono, the goalkeeper of the Africans, parried the three shots that finished him off.
And I add: “120 minutes and 3 penalties. 0 goals”.
Is that one of the strongest criticisms that has been made to this selection of Luis Enrique has been the little firepower he had in attack. The debut victory was a mirage given what was the selection’s subsequent trip to Qatar. “70% ball possession. 400 passes. 1 shot. 0 on goal”, he warned at half-time.
“It’s Embarrassing” Misterchip said in another of his messages. There he pointed out a conclusive fact about Spain and its performances at the World Cup after the consecration in South Africa 2010. He played 11 matches and won just 3, against smaller teams: Australia, Iran and Costa Rica.
In another tweet, Misterchip gave a historical account penalty which took Morocco to the quarterfinals. And it was historic because Spain didn’t hit any of their shots, which was rarely seen in official tournaments. According to Misterchip, it is the sixth time he has gone to the national level.
And to close (because he immediately began to analyze the cross between Portugal and Switzerland), Misterchip returned to the charge against Spain’s game, with lots of ball possession and little aggression in the final metres.
“The phrase most repeated by the Spanish players after today’s match: ‘It’s always the same story, the opponents always present us with the same type of game'”, began Alexis, and concluded: “The question is obvious: have you Ever thought of doing something different so the same thing doesn’t always happen?”
Anger, a lot of anger, and the bitter feeling of having to wait another four years to dream of a World Cup again. A disappointment that many of the 31 teams who will not be able to win the World Cup on Sunday the 18th, when the final is played, will have to suffer.
