Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovaylo shared his impressions of the 2022 World Cup ending these days.
"Argentina - Croatia - 3: 0 (semi-final of the 2022 World Cup, — ed.). This match can begin to sum up. This championship did not give anything new in terms of tactical ideas and organization of the game.
There is a football proverb in our latitudes: "we play from the stove." We gave the ball to the opponent, got into blocks in defense, we are waiting for the opponent's mistake and open spaces in the zones. The national team coaches chose this style of play not because of a good life. For another way of playing, there is a shortage of performers.
In recent years, football has become more intense and athletic. Defense players play with incredible concentration, and it is difficult to break blocks with individual actions. Yes, and there are no such gifted players on the horizon yet (Messi doesn't count - he's an alien).
I was waiting for something new from the Brazilians. But, unfortunately, their stove turned out to be full of holes. Argentina? This team has a special chemistry in the locker room - the spirit of Maradona is in the air. From match to match, they are added in all components of the game.
France? My big hope for the super final. Today's match against Morocco is more politically motivated than football. And this is kind of interesting. Looking forward to the final...
P.S. I am offended by the national teams of Italy and Germany. Football robbed. Some didn’t come out, others are dudes,” Zakhovailo wrote on his page on the social network Facebook.
