After what the world witnessed a few hours ago in Salvador, I could not comprehend the events hence I sought the help of my friend and fellow football lover and objective minded analyst Nii Dodoo to help answer a few questions
Nii Aponsah (N.A): Good evening Nii. How are you doing tonight . Hope you enjoyed the game.
Nii Dodoo (N.D): Good Evening Nii . I'm good and yes I did enjoy the game
N.A: How'd you see the game on a whole ?
N.D: It was a good game by all standards.
N.A : And The Results too ?
N.D: From A Dutch perspective, it was a really really good result which will serve as a confidence boost in their quest for the title but from a Spanish Perspective, this has to be one of their worst performances in recent memory .
N.A: Moving into an absolutely Spanish perspective, what happened and what did not happen ?
N.D: Well, the Spanish side seemed to take their foot off the pedal after the penalty. They allowed complacency to creep into their game and this allowed the Dutch to exploit them fully .
N.A: Did Vicente Del Bosque's changes contribute to the final result in anyway?
N.D: Not really as those changes were needed. Rather, the failure of the players to respond tactically contributed to their defeat.
N.A: Don't you think that the withdrawal of Xabi Alonso rather than Busquets was rather unwise ?
N.D: Not at all. Their presence would have had the same effect .
N.A : Now does this defeat signal the disappearance of the famed "Tiki Taka" and the eventual end of Spanish Dominance on the international stage or do we need a new generation to continue this trend ?
N.D : Tiki Taka is not dead as you presume. It only needs to be modified to effectively incorporate attacking and defensive passages of play.
N.A: Do you think Spain can defend their World Title or would we have a new champion ?
N.D: We would have to wait till after the second round of games in the group stages to determine who but based on tonight's showing from Spain, it'll be safe to say yes .
N.A: Finally Nii, who was your man of the match and your flop of the match ?
N.D: My Man Of the Match has to Be Arjen Robben.
My Flop of the Match was Diego Costa !
N.A: Thank You Nii Dodoo for your time and I hope I can call on you to help me analyse games .
N.D : You're welcome and anytime.
So that's it people, Nii Dodoo and myself (Nii Aponsah) discussing the Spain Netherlands game. Thank You and join us another time.
Feel free to drop your thoughts, comments and suggestions .
