Why is the Spanish team called the red fury? Spain team

In South Africa, the Spaniards who became the best team Euro 2008 arrived with serious intentions and the slogan “Hope is my path, victory is my destiny.” With their play they proved that they have the right to be called not just world champions, but the best team on the planet.

In seven matches at the tournament, the Spaniards stumbled only once, losing in the opening match group stage to the Swiss. Afterwards, Vincente del Bosque's team did not lose any points. During the championship, the “red fury” left Chile, Honduras, Portugal, Paraguay and Germany out of action, and final game

snatched victory from the Netherlands.

The decisive match left the spectators without an abundance of goals - both teams demonstrated rational football and kept zeros on the scoreboard until the 116th minute, when Spanish midfielder Andreas Iniesta scored the winning goal.

Hero

Journalists and fans recognized the leader of the Uruguay national team, Diego Forlan, as the best player of the 2010 World Cup. In matches for his team, he scored five goals, including one in the lost match with the German national team for third place. Largely thanks to the leadership qualities of the striker, the Uruguay national team, which was not among the tournament favorites before the start of the World Cup, not only advanced from the group, but also stopped just a step away from the final. By receiving the Ballon d'Or, Forlán became the fourth Latin American to win the prestigious award, which has been presented since 1982. In 1986 it went to Diego Maradona, in 1994 to Romario, and in 1998 to Ronaldo. In addition, the Uruguayan leader set a record at the World Cup itself. He became the only one to score first and last goal

your team at the tournament.

Antihero

The World Cup in South Africa was unsuccessful for the Portuguese team and personally for its leader and captain Cristiano Ronaldo. In four matches, he was able to score only one goal and one assist. The worst game for the star of the “European Brazilians” was the decisive match of the 1/8 finals, in which the Portuguese lost to the future champions, Spain, with a minimal score. Ronaldo came out starting lineup

The European press saw Ronaldo's words as a direct accusation against his mentor, after which the Portuguese had to apologize. “When I advised asking the coach about the reasons for the fiasco, I meant the opportunity to communicate with him at a press conference. There journalists can ask about everything in detail. I myself was in no condition to give any comments. I never thought that such an innocent expression could be completely misunderstood.

So I would like to ask you not to look for reasons for conflict where there are none,” Ronaldo urged. He also admitted that the failure of the national team had a negative impact on his psychological state. “I am devastated, completely devastated and also very disappointed. I don’t experience anything pleasant and prefer to suffer alone,” Cristiano shared his emotions.

Opening

The Uruguay team demonstrated sensational results in South Africa. The team, which made it to the final part of the tournament only through the play-offs, not only confidently reached the semi-finals, but also became the best non-European team in the championship. Without suffering a single defeat, having beaten Mexico, South Africa and drawn with France, the South Americans left the group in first place and dealt with South Korea in the 1/8 finals. The most dramatic match of the championship took place with the participation of the Uruguayans, after which the team of Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez was one step away from the final. In the quarterfinals, Oscar Tabares' team left the Ghana team out of the tournament, for which they needed Extra time

, and a penalty shootout. However, according to experts, the outcome of the fight was decided in the 120th minute.

With the score 1:1, the Africans carried out a dangerous attack, and Suarez, who was defending the goal, had to play with his hand. The punishment was not long in coming: a red card and a penalty. As it turned out later, Louis' decision was correct: Asamoah Gyan hit the crossbar from the 11-meter mark. "I had no choice. We could have lost, but we were saved by the hand of God, which now belongs to me,” the Uruguayan explained his action.

At the end of the tournament, having stumbled in the semi-finals with Holland and failed in the match for 3rd place with Germany, the blue and white took fourth place in the final table of ranks.

Disappointment The World Cup was remembered for another failure of the Italian team, which arrived at the tournament as the reigning winner. This time, the Azzurra Squadra not only did not leave the group, but set a new anti-record for the country: for the first time took last place in her quartet. The Italians, who found themselves in the company of Paraguay, Slovakia and New Zealand, could not beat any of their opponents, drawing twice and losing to the Slovaks in their last match of the tournament.

The championship was also extremely unfortunate for Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who played only 45 minutes in the tournament due to a back injury. His replacement, Federico Marchetti, was never able to fully replace the retired leader.


Bombardier

At the 2010 World Cup, many stars failed to live up to the fans' expectations. The tournament was unsuccessful for Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery, Wayne Rooney and Kaka. But young Thomas Müller, who was little known to the general football community before the start of the final stage of the World Cup, showed his worth. Head coach Germany national team Joachim Löw did not trust the 21-year-old striker during the qualifying campaign, but in the final stage of the tournament he gave the young striker a chance and a place in the starting lineup. Muller lived up to his hopes. At the end of the World Cup, he became the tournament's top scorer with five goals and three assists and received the Golden Boot. Thomas Müller also won best young player and scored greatest number points according to the goal + pass system.

Moment

The final stage of the 2010 World Cup brought world fame to the octopus Paul from the Sea Life Center in Oberhausen, Germany. The oracle clam began its career during Euro 2008. He successfully predicted the outcome of matches involving his national team.

In 2010, Paul entered the world stage and continued to predict. Thus, he accurately predicted the results of all games in Germany, including the victory of the Germans in the quarter finals with the Argentines, after which the Bundesteam defeated Diego Maradona’s team with a score of 4:0.

Before the semi-final Germany - Spain, the octopus, unexpectedly for many, chose the Spanish flag, and a few hours later this prediction of the sea oracle also came true.

Fans of teams affected by the octopus's predictions threatened him with violence. The Germans themselves, after a misfire one step away from the final, were going to cook clam soup, and the Argentine chef Nicolas Bedorrow proposed an exquisite recipe - serving Paul to the table with potatoes, sweet peppers and olive oil.

Paul's popularity during the days of the tournament was so high that Spain midfielder Andreas Iniesta approached him immediately after winning the final match. “I want to congratulate Paul! I thank him for his accurate forecasts. He will forever remain a star in our country. We wish we had more octopuses like this,” said the midfielder.

EURO-2012. The final. SPAIN - ITALY - 4:0

Spain defeated Italy in the Kiev final Euro-2012 and became the first team to win three major tournaments in a row.

Artem AGAPOV

Spain is merciless. Not only in this Sunday's match with the Italians. Before him, no one had ever won three major tournaments in a row at the national team level. No one has won two European Championships in a row, and even with four goals in one single final. "Red Fury" did all this - and not only that.

Spain left no chance for Italy. Even before the second half, in which the opponents were left with ten men. From the first minute, Vicente Del Bosque's team ruled out repeating the scenario of the opening match of the championship for the Squadra Azzurra. That meeting between classmates was more successful for the Italians, although the reigning champions responded with ease to the opponent's goal at the end of the hour of play.

At the start of the championship, the Spaniards were looking for a solution in attack. Del Bosque, in the presence of Torres, Llorente and Negredo, put Fabregas on the “false nine”. During the tournament, the coach tried on the tip of the spear, but by the final he became convinced that it was better to play without a “pure” center forward. Of course, Fabregas is not Messi at all, but they managed without the Barcelona Argentine, and without Villa and Puyol, who were invited to the final by the spectators. Knowing every maneuver perfectly, the “Red Fury” looked very, very pragmatic. Her playing is primarily a celebration of the mind, not the heart. But in mind and heart - a golden Spanish result.

The Italians were worried about defense at the start. Barzagli's injury forced Cesare Prandelli to introduce a three-centre-back formation and bring De Rossi back. After optimistic draws with Spain and Croatia, even taking into account Chiellini’s injury before the quarterfinals, the coach chose to leave the experiment in order to maintain the balance of the game. He refused it before the match with Ireland and then did not regret it. The game of the "Azzurra Squadra" under Prandelli's hand ceased to be organized exclusively from defense, revealing in the heirs of Catenaccio the ability to attack admirably. After the convincing qualification, there were doubts only before the start of the final tournament, but then they went away.

Italy is its own best match championship held in the Warsaw semi-finals against Germany. Whereas Spain gave him away in the Kiev final. Del Bosque's team immediately took control of the ball and began looking for scoring chances. As if she answered all those who doubted: we are not boring, but rather strong.

Fabregas and Xavi were the first to show Spanish brilliance. In a combination that confused the two lines of the Italian defense, one collected three opponents at the entrance to someone else's penalty area, and the second shot over the crossbar from a radius.

The quick goal came from Casillas, with 14 assists and eight attackers. Xabi Alonso shifted it from left to right to Arbeloa, Xavi switched gears in the center. The ending - Iniesta's pass into the corridor between three opponents, Fabregas's dash from Chiellini to the goal line with a feed back and Silva's header from the encirclement of Bonucci and Barzagli into the left "nine".

The Italian troubles continued with the forced departure of Chiellini from the field; after all, the injury in the match with the Irish did not pass without a trace. Before the substitution, the defender was “cut off” in his own half, so his teammates had to hastily plug holes in the defense; with a new wave, Pirlo rushed into a desperate tackle against Iniesta in the penalty area and then, under pressure, knocked the ball into touch, as if asking for a minute’s break to think about a difficult situation .

Before Chiellini's loss, the Italians tried unsuccessfully to squeeze something out of a series of Pirlo corners, after which they took the lead in terms of percentage of ball possession. But this did not guarantee anything against Spain. European and world champions from the last 22 tournament matches they lost the advantage in this indicator only in one thing - in the Euro 2008 final with Germany, which they still won gracefully.

"Squadra Azzurra" rested against someone else's defense, "Red Fury" at the end of the half released the spring. After Arbeloa's interception against Balotelli and Balzaretti in their own half, Silva and Xavi did not find a quick way to attack, but Casillas succeeded. The captain-goalkeeper made a transfer to the left flank, on which Fabregas switched on Alba. The Barcelona recruit left the ball to Xavi, burst into the return pass behind Barzagli and Bonucci and shot past the other goalkeeper-captain.

If on Thursday in Warsaw everyone witnessed a typical Italian robbery, then on Sunday in a bullfight against a Spanish bullfighter, the Apennine bull was doomed. The “Red Fury” confidently controlled the course of the game and kept the opponent as if on a leash, while the “Squadra Azzurra”, after intense fights with the British and Germans without extra days to recover, literally lost their legs on the Kiev field.

Perhaps Prandelli's team would compensate for the lack of physical freshness with an emotional surge if there was a quick goal after the break. It could have been organized by Di Natale, who replaced Cassano. But the only Euro 2012 football player who scored against the Spaniards during playing time, after the “two” by Abate and Montolivo, hooted over the goal. Twice more Di Natale looked for Pirlo in the line of fire. With his passes, the Italian conductor first found the forward on the left side of the penalty area, then threw it in the center. But both times Casillas calculated these moves.

And then Prandelli released Thiago Motta. The coach decided to make the last substitution when not even an hour of playing time had elapsed. What to do: by and large there was nothing to lose, somehow we needed to try to freshen up the match. The naturalized Brazilian, who had health problems, soon collapsed, clutching his thigh, after which Italy was left in a forced minority.

Without any pity, the Spaniards carried the matter to the point of defeating Torres and Mata, two recent Champions League winners from what had become an extremely boring Chelsea side. The center forward was helped by Xavi, who covered Pirlo and De Rossi in the central circle and passed the ball behind the Squadra Azzurra defenders. Mate was assisted by Torres himself, and both jokers managed to get involved in the combination in their own half, and then rushed to the other half under Busquets’ pass from the center circle. In vain did the tired Italian defense signal for offside.

Spain now shares the lead in the number of continental titles with Germany, which was considered its main competitor before the championship and was left without the final. Even the Germans, who for four decades taught everyone that they invariably win in football, could not achieve the achievement of winning three major tournaments in a row: the German national team, after the gold Euro 1972 and the 1974 World Cup, in the 1976 final with Czechoslovakia, made up the gap in two goals, but lost in the Panenka penalty shootout. Del Bosque became the second coach after Helmut Schön to lead his team to gold at the European and World Championships. And the first who, in addition, won the Champions League (with Real Madrid - twice).

Spain won all ten Euro 2012 qualifying matches, and in the final tournament allowed their opponents only one goal - after Di Natale's goal in the opening game, they were behind in the lead for only four minutes. On their way to a title hat-trick in four years, the champions never conceded in the knockout matches. The 990-minute clean sheet included three overtimes (two went to penalties) in ten games. With a post-match shootout against Italy, Luis Aragones' team began the 2008 playoffs, the first Spanish victory in 92 years over the Squadra Azzurra in official match Del Bosque's team closed the 2012 playoffs. What will happen next?

The Spanish national team has gone through a rather thorny path in order to stand on par with the giants of world football. Until 2008, the Spaniards had only one European title, won at the 1964 home championship.

But having won three major tournaments in a row, Spain categorically and unconditionally joined the ranks of the strongest teams in the entire history of world football.

History of the Spanish national football team

World Championships

  • Participation: 15 times.
  • Champion: World Cup 2010.

Period of failure

For many years, Spain did not know success at world championships. Of the first 10 world championships, the Spaniards missed 6, and only since 1978 have they been regular participants in world football forums.

Not to say that before this the Spaniards were whipping boys - for example, in 1934 they dropped out of the tournament after scandalous match with the Italians, at the first post-war championship they found themselves in the final pool of 4 teams playing for the title. And in 1962, the Spaniards could not get out of the group, which included two future finalists of the tournament - Brazil and Czechoslovakia.

But still, these results clearly did not correspond to the potential of the team and the class of players called up to the national team.

The fact is that, having world-class stars in almost every version of the national team, the team’s coaches could not assemble a complete team.

There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is the peculiarity of the Spanish state, which consists of provinces that are collected into 17 administrative regions and between which there are often tense or even antagonistic relations, such as, for example, between Catalonia and Madrid. Naturally, this cannot but affect the football players.

Finding Stability

However, gradually the Spanish team began to gain its rightful place - starting from the 1982 home championship, the Spaniards only twice failed to qualify from the group, constantly being the favorites of the World Cup.

The composition of the Spanish national team looked especially impressive at the 1986 and 1990 World Cups - Zubizarreta, Michel, Bakero, Martin Vazquez, . But, unfortunately, the team, capable of much, did not reach the medals - in Mexico, the Spaniards lost to the Belgian national team in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals, and in Italy, already in the 1/8 finals, they lost to the Yugoslavs in extra time 1:2.

But I would like to highlight two teams - the Spanish national team of 1994 and 2002, and here's why.

In 1994, the national team faced an unusual situation for the Spaniards - Butragueño’s generation had already left, and Raul’s generation had not yet arrived, and the team that went to the World Cup in the USA had only two world-class players - goalkeeper Anthony Zubizarreta and central defender Fernando Hierro.

The middle line and attack, although made up of skilled players - Guardiola, Begiristain, Luis Enrique, Goicoechea, were still not up to the world level. And in Spain’s attack, Barcelona’s reserve Salinas played, completely losing out to the competition in the club with Stoichkov and Romario.

And at that tournament, the Spaniards appeared as a TEAM, where each player was ready to play for themselves and for that guy. This team reached the quarterfinals, where they were stopped by the genius of Roberto Baggio, who scored the decisive goal at the very end of the confrontation.

European Championships

  • Participation: 10 times.
  • Champion: 1964, 2008, 2012.
  • Silver medalist: 1984.

The Spaniards did not qualify for the first European Championship - in qualifying tournament The lot brought them together with the USSR team and dictator Franco, for political reasons, refused to host these matches.

The 1964 European Championship was held in Spain, but the team still qualified along with other teams. At that time, only 4 teams participated in the final part, and therefore, having defeated the Hungarians 2:1 in the semi-finals in extra time, the Spaniards immediately qualified for the final.

Ironically, the same USSR national team, the current European champion, was waiting for them there. This time they could not refuse the match and, although with difficulty, they won 2:1.

Spanish fans had to wait more than a decade and a half for their next entry into the Euro; only in 1980 was the Spanish national team able to qualify for the finals of the European Championship, where they performed unsuccessfully, finishing last in the group.

The team spent the next European Championship just as unimpressively, but nevertheless brought home silver medals. Having drawn in the group with the teams of Romania and Portugal, the Spaniards, thanks to Maceda’s only goal, scored on last minute, defeated the German team, and reached the semi-finals, where they beat the Danish team on penalties.

In the final, the Spanish team had practically no chance against the magnificent France led by Michel Platini and naturally lost 0:2. However, in Spain they were pleased with the team’s performance.

The next 5 tournaments did not bring glory Spanish football players– they didn’t qualify for Euro 1992, couldn’t get out of the group at two championships, and lost two more times at the quarter-final stage.

True, the defeats in the quarterfinals were offensive and painful - in 1996, the Spaniards lost on penalties to the hosts of the tournament, the British, and the referees did not count a clear goal scored by the Spaniards in regular time. And four years later in famous match against the French in the 90th minute with the score 1:2, Raul launched the ball from the 11-meter mark well above the goal.

But for all this, the Spanish fans were rewarded at the European Championships in 2008 and 2012, at which their team did something that no one had managed before - they won.

At the same time, both victories of the Spanish team are undeniable and unique in their own way: in the playoff matches of both championships, the Spanish team did not concede a single goal! And if we add here 4 clean sheets in the playoffs of the World Cup that was victorious for the Spaniards, the result looks absolutely fantastic.

By the way, they beat the Russian national team twice – 4:1 in the group and 3:0 in the semi-finals.

At Euro 2016, the Spanish team took second place in the group, unexpectedly losing to the Croatian team in the last round, and in the 1/8 finals they somehow casually and resignedly lost 0:2 to the Italians. Personally, I expected more from the Spaniards.

Spain's top scorers

Thus

Regardless of the outcome of the meeting, the European team became the new winner of the World Cup. And this was already a kind of record, because national teams of the Old World had previously won tournaments of this rank only on their own continent.

For the Dutch national team, this time reaching the World Cup finals was the third time in history. Previously, the “orange” already had a chance to win the World Cup in 1974 and 1978, but lost first to the West German team (1:2), and then to the Argentines (1:3). It is no coincidence that the captain of the current Dutch national team, Giovanni van Bronkhorst, before the final, hoping for the best, said: “I have a feeling that we cannot lose. We have come close to the title so often that it would be great to finish one day with a smile on our face ".

The Spanish national team, unlike its opponent, made it to the World Cup final for the first time. Previously, the “red fury”, which always had an excellent selection of players, often lacked pragmatism, but the Spanish national team convened by Vicente Del Bosque managed to eliminate this shortcoming. Being the current European champions, the Spaniards were considered the main favorites of the World Cup in South Africa even before the start of the tournament, and their performance confirmed the correctness of the bookmakers’ calculations.

And the “red fury” had to take the last step. “This is a historical moment, a unique opportunity. I get goosebumps from the realization of what is happening. We all dreamed of this moment,” said the leader of the Spanish national team Andres Iniesta, who was destined to become the main hero of the final, on the eve of the final.

A lot is always expected from a decisive match for the World Cup, but such games do not always live up to expectations. There was also a lot of struggle and effort in the match between Holland and Spain. The coaches of both teams, the Dutch and the Spaniard, prepared their players well. However, the players were equally dominated by the fear of making mistakes. This is precisely what can explain the large number of violations of the rules in the center of the field.

There were far fewer dangerous moments near the goal of Maarten Stekelenburg and Iker Casillas than there were fouls. At first, the Spaniards were more active and, by controlling the ball, tried to press the opponent to the goal. But the Dutch, having missed several passes from the right flank, after which Sergio Ramos and David Villa hit the goal, made several dangerous forays.

But these were only rehearsals for Arjen Robben's two one-on-ones with Casillas, which he made at the center of the opponent's defense in the second half. The Dutchman, due to his high speed, twice ran away from the defenders of the “red fury” Pique and Puyol, but tripped over the goalkeeper.

The match naturally went into extra time. By this time, the score on deletions became 6:3 in favor of Holland, but there was less roughness on the field. However, there were no more dangerous moments. The Spaniards' top scorer, Villa, left the field early. Contender for title best player tournament according to FIFA, and stopped at the milestone of five goals scored.

The main event of two fifteen-minute halves occurred towards the end. English referee Webb awarded Dutchman Heitinga a second warning, which automatically turned into a red card. And Bert Van Marwijk's team was left with ten members.

Spain had enough time to take advantage of its numerical advantage, and the “red fury” did it. Andres Iniesta said the final word. He received the ball in the penalty area and shot hard and straight into the corner. Stekelenburg tried to deflect the ball, guessing the direction of the strike, but only adorned the Spaniard's goal with his jump. For Iniesta, this goal was the second at the World Cup. Eighth for the national team and the most important thing in my career!
