Turkish Rondo

There were six, but it could have been 12. An incredible match in a Turkish city that almost no one knows. We must be grateful and applaud that in this age of monotony, pettiness, and ineptitude, Spain is the greatest spectacle in football.

The Spanish team performed a brilliant "Turkish Rondo." Mozart 's wonderful sonata was definitely my favorite. Indeed, playing against Turkey was like a sensational rondo, with the second goal culminating in Mikel Merino 's fantastic finish after Pedri 's exceptional play.

I read that Turkey, and especially Konya, was going to be hell for the Spanish. How stupid! Fires were only heard at the start of the match, as the Spanish goals were scored. It was a "joke," which is how the Anatolian capital is pronounced.

An exceptional Pedri, who didn't have Merino as the executor of his football dreams. Something's wrong with Nico Williams . Not only because he missed two clear goals. But also because he lacks form and rhythm.

Another very different case was that of Lamine Yamal . He's obsessed with scoring a goal. Anxiety, his blindness, confuses him, and he won't do it. He's also inflamed with the accusation that he's not a goal scorer.

He isn't. And he never will be. That's why I think his stubbornness is a bad strategy. He conceded three impossible goals in the first half. And it ended his nerves. His suffering was drowned by De la Fuente 's decision. And he rested with a sublime anger.

Frankly, I liked the Turks less than the Bulgarians and that's saying something. At the back it's a mess and if it weren't for Guler the team has no personality or technical quality or anything like that.

The rout was easier because they wanted to score against the Turks and left terrible spaces defensively. The truth is, the fair result would have been 10 goals to 0. A real sporting scandal.

It was one of the best matches the national team has ever seen during the De la Fuente era. They were up against a tactical and strategic disaster, who couldn't even mark key players like Pedri, who has become a sensation in world football.

How much is the Canary Islander worth in this era of stardom? Although it must be acknowledged that De la Fuente has built a great family, one that leaves no room for rivals to showcase their personality or even their qualities. A Konya ("joke") match that puts Spain in stratospheric orbits.
