Brazil - Spain football lesson on "Maracana"

Brazil defeated Spain in the final of the Confederations Cup on the "Maracana" - 3:0. The joy of the winners and losers sadness - in the words of the protagonists of this Brazilian Sundays.

From this final dream could expect anything - and this is unlikely. Incredible evening at "Maracana" - this is where the Brazilians will be inspired to a home World Cup in 2014, the Spaniards are in some way to pull this defeat the coming year. Brilliantly played a team of Luiz Felipe Scolari and the failed wards Vicente Del Bosque, the incredible platform of one of the legendary stadiums in the world and millions of television viewers will remember this match for a long time. As suggested by many, including one of the persons championship.

- We were waiting for this game, and it's just fantastic: Brazil vs Spain on the "Maracana" in the final of the Confederations Cup. Spain - the defending champion, a great team with Iniesta and Xavi that make the difference. Brazil also strongly protested, Neymar and Fred are great, along with a team of 200 million of its fans. This Sunday will definitely become that day that will long be remembered - said before the starting whistle, Ronaldo , who is a real phenomenon, and after the final added. - Brazil taught a lesson in football. She has given a real spectacle . She took the ball, attacked at the right time. Neymar foreordained all the difference, and with Fred, our team again won the "Ninth numbers". "Selesao" earned praise.

The storyline of the first half looks like a dotted line. Bottomhole beginning of Brazil, in less than a minute and a half: the translation Daviza Louise, wrestling and submission Hulk, cutting off Neimar and Arbeloa, the game is on the ground with Fred blow over Casillas. Trying to trace an Oscar, a very, very close to the target. The two "orange" card Arbeloa and Sergio Ramos, who could be red for all the artistry Neimar. Scolari showed the stands two fingers, but not yet "Victoria", and the two solutions Kaypersa against his team. Passing Neimar Fred and his surprise after Seiwa Casillas. "Salvation" David Louise after the mats and Stroke stroke Pedro. And then the goal Neimar with the participation of Oscar, with a kick to the near corner to tackle Arbeloa.

- The first goal ... It all happened very quickly - said Fred . - I'm a ball over the head, and he rushed past. Faced with Pique, but even in the fall followed for a while, on occasion, to do something. The ball bounced off his hands and Neimar Sergio Ramos (actually Arbeloa. - Approx. "SE" ), came to me. Yes, I was lying - but scored. Even if you are on the ground and do not have time to get up, you have to be ready for anything. Casillas threw, it was not easy though. A save of David Louise - it was like a goal. We even celebrated a "rescue" all together, congratulated David. These two points suggest that will never be shut down. Striker not expect a rebound the ball, and the defenders laid out in full in order to save the goal.

- My save of? .. I just tried to do everything to stop the ball flying into the goal. I just had to try and do it - said David Luiz. - This is an example of reading the situation. When he saw Peter coming to pass Mats, he realized that he would try to break past the keeper, but Julio Cesar will seek to reduce the angle of attack. I know our goalkeeper is very good, he's a great player, and with all this rushed to the gate to catch the ball. As to the first goal of Fred, I believe in it - I know what kind of fighter he is. He never gives up. Only matador could score from this position - he was lying face down, but still missed.

Dotted events of the second half gone. Another goal "of the locker room," Hulk assisted Fred striker out Azpilicueta sent the ball into the far corner and caught up with Torres in the list of the best snipers of the tournament (but four of the five hits Spaniard - the gates of Tahiti). Penalty Navas, who turned on his way out of the penalty area and depicted Neimar after blow to the shin Marcelo. Bloomer Sergio Ramos, who sent the ball to the left of the left post. The third "orange" situation for Kaypersa, the Dutchman still got a red card after a breach Pique on Neymar. Of course, the line of the Dutchman could not like the Brazilians who were thirsting for Spanish blood. And the losers were not too thrilled.

- There were plenty of stops, even though we knew that we could still run, but the referee had to somehow hold the line - said Iniesta . - However, we came together with a strong opponent who played better than us, and even the smallest detail looked preferable. We gave the game all the forces, sometimes you win and sometimes defeated. So it should just accept this result.

Scolari in the final of the Italian went on to the steering Cesare Prandelli, who on Thursday implemented a "Azzurri" brilliant plan against "tiki-TAKE." "Selesao" dealt with the championship lace powerful and ruthless in what they definitely helped not only the early goal and other key moments in the match. Possession 48 to 52 - almost a victory even in this particular indicator. Aggressive, tough game of the new generation pentakampeonov allowed them to put down the best team in recent years. Even groping segments footing, "Red Fury" was not nearly as dangerous. The same Iniesta alone is effective, but not very effective.

- One day we had to lose - said Sergio Ramos . - We are not robots, sometimes things are not in your favor, that's what happened today, it all started with the very first minutes of the match. Brazilians managed to score a very early goal, then they can wait for their chance. In any case - my congratulations to Brazil, because the owners have shown that they know how to play against Spain. As to my penalty, the matter again in the fact that today everything was against us. I felt confident, waited until the last minute to see the direction of the jump goalkeeper, and tried to send the ball into the net, and he went by. Well, it's one of those things that happen in football, can not always win.

- Brazil deserved to win - said Casillas . - We know that this event can not be compared with the World Cup or European, but painful to lose 0-3. Brazil has played great. Sometimes you suffer defeat, can not help it, you need to move on and look up. Brazilians are very good, but in their favor have developed many factors - for example, a goal in the first minute, the second goal in the 44th, and the third - two minutes after the break. We were close to having to level the score, had an obvious point, but David Luiz brought the ball to the goal line. In addition, missed a penalty.

It's so nice Brazil or Spain is weak? The question of a particular state rivals in these outcomes is inevitable. So it was after the final Euro -2012, when everything came together for the "Red Fury". Italy experienced a successful confrontation champions in the group stage, among other things do not have time to bring back the freshness after a brilliant victory over Germany - the opponent had an extra day of rest. Now the Spaniards after the worst bout of "Azzurri" recovered less than a day. Del Bosque pointed to grab the opportunity for such an excuse. But he is not alone talked about it, and not only that, many are now saying.

- When to yield, come to very different conclusions than in the days of victory - said Sergio Ramos . - There is reason to believe that we are tired physically. Brazil had a difficult match for the day before our semi-final, she was able to recover better and play better than our football. We have achieved a lot, but there comes a day when you're losing fight. However, our conscience is clear, on the field did everything they could.

- People now know what we can, but should not forget how good the team from Spain - said David Luiz . - None of us had never even dreamed to beat the current world champions 3-0. But we made ​​it through technology, class and talent. It was a perfect game.

- We have achieved something that everyone thought was impossible. The team played fantastically well, better than everyone expected, and we have made ​​happy many people - said Neymar . - We managed to win a very important title, thus making a significant step forward as a team. We are pleased reached. It was a great game between Brazil and Spain, which stood for viewing the world. And we know that we spent a fantastic match. However, you should stay calm: we have worked well and have chosen the right path, but on improving the game still needs to work.

Brazilians beat the Spanish and sang their song champion, they do not mind the curse of winning the Confederations Cup, which they won for the fourth time since 1997, and the third - a row. Spain was left without a single missing in her collection of great titles, but promises to return after a year in all its glory and still reckon with the offenders and all-all-all.In any case, wait for the next summer will be very, very interesting. Countdown to the first match of the main tournament of the planet has gone. After the final of the Confederations Cup before the start of the 2014 World Cup left 347 days.

- No one expected such a devastating outcome, not only against the world champions. That's just let's not get carried away - said Scolari . - This is more than the title, we have shown that we are on the right track. In 2004, a shame lost the final home Euro in Portugal, today life has given me this opportunity. And I must say once again about the support that the team had off the field. This is a message to the whole of Brazil. Play on the "Maracana" in this atmosphere - it is something. That's the starting point for the establishment of the unity of the country, we have to be together to move forward. You did not expect that we will win the title, but ahead of the next tournament, the 2014 World Cup, and he is much more complicated, even for the Confederations Cup and were four world champions. Ahead of a long road that we enter into with a stock-found confidence.

- Defeat the painful but deeply convinced that we had a good Confederations Cup - said Del Bosque . - Prefer to learn from today's positive. I came here with an incredible group of players who were laid without a trace all these 28 fantastic days. Should be congratulated Brazil. We were not lucky with this goal in the first minute, and then a second before the break. Removal of the line of David Louise marked difference between 1-1 and 0-2, although there is no point in talking about all these little details. Overall, Brazil was better than us. We have always been fair in his judgments after victories should behave and after this defeat. We know how hard it is to win, so that from time to time should be ready to defeats - and we do not think that we are invincible.
