Brazil Beat Spain In Confederations Cup!!!!!!
After Spain and it's top clubs (Real Madrid and Barcelona) were king of the hill for the last few years, it looks like the tables have turned. As Spain came into the Confederations Cup very confidently, with only Italy, Brazil and Uruguay to challenge their title. As they blasted through the group stages and Italy in the semis, they walked out onto the pitch against Brazil with winning spirits. Neymar with Pato, Paulinho and David Luiz doused those spirits. Brazil's one-touch pass and cross strategy beat Spain's pass and shoot tactics 3-0. Del Bosque and Espana left the game with a winning streak broken and with a slightly different strategy in mind.Many others fans, reporters and players have one question in mind. Could this be a preview of the World Cup 2014? If you trust my judgement, keep reading. If you don't you're a... I mean skip to the next paragraph. My answer is no. Even if Brazil do win, it will be closer. Though Spain's Senior team lost both the Spain's U21 and U20 teams both won their last major tournament with likes of Isco, Rodrigo, Thiago, Iker Munian, David De Gea and Alvaro Morata who are all available to play for Spain in 2014.
Enough with the Spain international team, let's go to the Spain's giants, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Barcelona, although they have recently acquired fantastic youngster Neymar Da Santos, have been scarred by the loss of their manager Tito Vilanova and the loss to German giants Bayern Munich three times out of the last three, and didn't score one goal. Many football followers also ask, Will Neymar and Messi make a good team. I say yes, as long as Neymar gets used to the passing strategy Neymar and Messi will have a good dribble pass, dribble pass, shoot tactics once the midfield passers get the ball up to the front.
Real Madrid have the upper hand in luck of the Spanish giants although they lost what many would call the best manager in football: Jose Mourinho. Mourinho said his goodbyes to Real Madrid after three years of perfecting them to return to his old club Chelsea, making them Premier League favorites along with Manchester City. Though they lost Mourinho, they got another great manager, Carlo Ancelotii who was the manager that brought PSG to their Champions League spot claim.The whites also have found a huge future star! Joshua Pynadath from America, at age 11 is the first American ever to be on Real Madrid. He's the new Cristiano Ronaldo. More on him in a post coming up soon.
Spain has many things to fix, and many to look forward to.
