http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 goalkeeper, Victor Valdes, has come to the aid of Del Bosque, as the goal stopper defended the Spanish coach for his tactics during the Euro 2012.
During his first game for the Spanish side, Del Bosque decided to start without a striker, and played Cesc Fabregas in the ‘false 9’ role instead.
Despite having players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Negredo-c5294 at his disposal, Del Bosque decided to start with a 4-6-0 formation.
Italians were the first ones to score a goal, but Cesc Fabregas later equalized and got a point for his side.
In the following two games against Ireland and Croatia, Del Bosque started with Torres up front.
In the first game, Torres got him the result which was expected, scoring a brace and showing the world that he still has what it takes to find the back of the net.
However, while playing against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879, the Spanish national side found it hard to penetrate through the opposition defence. It was Cesc Fabregas who managed to give a phenomenal lobbed pass to Andres Iniesta, who then gave a perfect cutback pass to Jesus
Navas, who found the back of the net.
Despite winning two out of three games, and drawing the other, the Spanish team was criticized for its tactics. Many players have come out to defend Del Bosque and his tactics for the Spanish team and this time it was Victor Valdes who decided to let his
views known.
The Catalan goalkeeper is not even a first-choice player for the World champions, but he still managed to defend his team and his coach. While speaking about the criticism being received by Del Bosque, Valdes said:
“I do not understand the criticism targeted at the coach, nor do I share it.”
“In football, things can go better or worse, but the results are there. I think the coach has got everything right since he took charge of the national team.”
“He is calm and seeing how we are working to prepare for the matches. He wants to protect the group and make sure we keep doing things well and secure the results like we did at World Cup 2010.”
