SPAIN DEFEATS SWITZERLAND WITH A 0 - 2 RESULT IN THE U - 21 UEFA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS FINAL

SPANISH FOOTBALL - SOCCER again is placed on the highest stage of European & World Football after the U-21 SAPNISH NATIONAL TEAM claimed the 2011 UEFA U-21 EUROPEAN TITLE defeating 0 - 2 SWITZERLAND in tonights Final.

Spain U-21 Euro 2011 Champions 

Spain continues winning titles,  this time with the U - 21 youngsters following the A-TEAM & in the process assuring their place in the London Olympic Games. Spanish Forward ADRIAN was announced "Player of the Championship" & his 5 goals gave him the "Leading Goal scorer Award". FC Barcelona player THIAGO was awarded "Man of The Match" for the Final. However, I would like to mention the extraordinary performance of At. Bilbao midfielder & Spain Captain JAVI MARTINEZ who for me was the man of the whole tournament. 

Goal Spain by Herrera

Switzerland are a fine team with some excellent players that held Spain with some tight disciplined defending. But in the 40th min ANDER HERRERA headed a magnificent cross to put Spain ahead in a Swiss lapse. 

Thiago for Spain

Spain dominated most of the 2º half but were not able to "kill off" a stubborn Swiss team that kept looking for the equalizer & even had a clear chance from a set piece that did not happen for them. Then in the 80th min while Spain made a substitution, THIAGO took a free kick from 35 mts that caught the Swiss goalie off his line  & surprised everyone with the second & the clincher for Spain.

This goal basically finished things off to give the Spanish youngsters the European Title which was last won back in 1998. From here congratulations to all the boys as Spain has a its Football future assured with some excellent players coming up & through the ranks.

The objective was to gain a place in the 2011 European Championships to be held in Denmark, platform that gives access to the London Olympic Games. Group 4 leader Holland has the top spot in the “bag” with 21 points & Spain who is second with 13 points win play Holland & Poland, & later hope to secure the second place pass by seeing if the other second placed teams in the other various groups are weaker placed.

Spain was surprised very early by a “defensive lapse” in the 8th min when Kauko scored for Finland. From here Spain played stronger & reacted to win a penalty in the 31st min which Bojan scored to equalize.

From here Finland went into “defensive mode” & Spain dominated looking for the winner but Finnish goalkeeper Hradecky was the “star” stopping numerous occasions & assuring the 3 points for his side.

Spain will travel back home disappointed & now have it all uphill.

U/21 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER: SPAIN 3 - LIECHTENSTEIN 1

The Spanish U/21 National Team Coach & Selector Lopez Caro, was questioned last week to explain what reasons lead him not to call up youngsters like Bojan, Sergio Canales & Domínguez, all regular “Liga” players with their respective teams, to the National squad. The replies were not convincing (form) & to be honest very vague; who really knows why he left out three of Spain’s current young talents.

Tonight all three were remembered & came to haunt Lopez Caro after his team barely defeated the last placed group team LIECHTENSTEIN 3-1, in a terrible & almost embarrassing match were the home team was lucky to get away with this “distorted” result that doesn´t reflect the match at all.

The situation was so “critical” that Spain had in serious danger its qualification for the U/21 European Championships at one point when the visitors equalized 1-1 in the 57th min. Luckily, Coach Lopez Caro reacted & brought on Fran Mérida y Adrián López (why weren’t they in the starting line-up?) to remedy the situation a steer the team towards a 2ºnd goal & calmness reigned thankfully at the end when Diego Capel converted a penalty.

With this win Spain has 12 points & remains 2º placed behind Holland ( 15 points) in Group 4. Remember only the first placed go directly through to the European Finals , with the Best 4º second placed teams from the 10 groups going into a play-off.

Details:

Spain 3: Sergio Asenjo; Azpilicueta, Canella, San José, Botía; Javi Martínez, Jeffrén (Fran Mérida, min. 69), Ander Herrera (Rodrigo Ríos, min. 88), Parejo, Josélu (Adrián, min. 64) & Diego Capel.

U-21 EURO GROUP QUALIFIER: HOLLAND 2 - SPAIN 1

The Spanish U-21 National Football Team suffered a set back in its
objective of taking the top table spot, & thus the direct qualification
for the European U-21 Championships of 2011, when they lost 2-1 to
Holland in their Group 4 match at Rotterdam.

The Dutch played well & did what they had to do in a satisfactory
manner; however Spain was extremely unlucky as they hit the Dutch
goal post 4 times during the game. Spain will now have to ensure
maximum concentration & win their following games as the U-21
Euro & London Olympics participation are both under the threat of
being missed out on.

EUROPEAN U-21 GROUP CLASSIFICATION: SPAIN 1 - FINLAND 0

Spain’s ball control strategy & game difficult in finding the end
objective which only came in the 72nd minute when MICHEL
scored the winner.

Spain now looks forward to its game against Holland who share the

EURO U/21 GROUP 5 QUALIFIER: SPAIN 2 - POLAND 0

SPAIN has defeated POLAND 2-0 at home (Oviedo) in its Group 5
qualifying match for the next U-21 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS
Finals scheduled for 2011 in Denmark.

(photo: MATO/as.com)

Spain has reshaped its team after its disappointing performance in
last June’s Euro Finals in Sweden. With the inclusion of new players
like Parejo & Joselu Mato, Spain went out to attack from the first
moment with a Polish team waiting in its area for opportunities to
arise & thus attempt to surprise with counter-attacks. That
conservatism was punished early when MATO scored for Spain in
the 7th min & Spain could have gone further in the 12th min have
the Polish goalkeeper not stopped Parejo.

The Spanish side sentenced the game in the 2ºhalf when they went
two goals ahead when PAREJO scored in the 58th min with his header.
Sevilla FC winger David Capel deserves a mention as he set up the
first goal & drove the Polish defence crazy all the game & Spanish
goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo who stopped all the dangers when the
Polish team attacked the most to try to close the goal deficit. However,
with the latter the Spanish & Atletico de Madrid goalie was injured
towards the latter part of the game.

Conclusion: Good win for Spain who start well & will play next
Monday against Liechtenstein.

EUROPEAN U-21 CHAMPIONSHIP 2009: SPAIN SAYS GOODBYE WITH A VICTORY

The Spanish U-21 National Team said goodbye to the EUROPEAN
U-21 CHAMPIONSHIPS with a 2-0 victory over FINLAND. The only
“miracle” possible for Spain to continue was in the hands of England
with a victory over Germany; however their game finished in a 1-1
draw. Therefore Group B has England & Germany that go onto the
next stage, while Spain packs its bags as third in what has been a
for them a disappointing tournament with rumoured "frictions"
between players & Coach Caro.









The Spanish goals came from TORREJON in the 22nd min & from
PEDRO LEON in the 55th min, with the latter possibly being the
best player on the field for this game.

In the other Group (A) Italy & Sweden, the host nation, move on
to the next stage. Tweet

EUROPEAN U-21 CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009: SPAIN 0 ENGLAND 2

The SPANISH U-21 NATIONAL TEAM went down tonight 0-2 to
ENGLAND in its Group B match. This “virtually” puts the Spaniards
out of the EUROPEAN U-21 Finals being held in Sweden. The
ONLY chance left is if Spain goals Finland in its last Group game
& England defeats Germany in its match.

Spain was nervous & put up a conservative set up that lacked any
action along the wings. Once again Spain’s goalkeeper Asenjo kept
his side in the running until England players CAMPBELL & MILNER
scored twice to knock the wind out of the Spaniards. English player
Walcott was decisive tonight coming on in the 62nd min to beef up
the English attack with his pace.

Disappointing effort from Spain who now look to luck to even think
about the possibility of continuing in the tournament

EUROPEAN U - 21 CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009: SPAIN 0 - GERMANY 0

The SPANISH U-21 National Team kicked off its participation in the
U-21 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS,being held in Sweden against
GERMANY, with the result ending in a 0-0 draw.

One can simply describe the game for Spain by saying that their best
player was Asenjo, who is the goalkeeper. It was a “miracle” that
Spain managed to go away from this game with a point as Germany
was way more superior & the better team. The Spaniards put up its
game of touch ball while the Germans played with their physical
advantage, a strategy that nearly paid off had it not been for the
Spanish goalkeeper.

Now it´s time for Spain to reflect & allow the opening game nerves
to disappear & face their next match to ensure they can secure the
next three points.

Team line-ups:

Spain 0: Asenjo; Sergio Sánchez, Monreal, Chico, Torrejón; Javi
Martínez, Raúl García, Granero (Diego León, min.87), Sisi (Diego
