Paradoxically, the English national team begins its descent into hell from the fifty-fifth minute, with Gordon’s goal
There are matches that change abruptly after the goal that unlocks the game, but this time the plot is reversed, the advantage lays the groundwork for surrender. Now we enter the playing field and start with Gordon’s goal, which, by scoring the lead for Albion, finds the World Cup final in hand, and for the English, it’s a rare commodity, something not seen for sixty years in the United Kingdom, with the cameras lingering on Beckham and his wife, but also Mick Jagger’s unrepentant cap is ready to peek out. And it is precisely from this advantage, as mentioned, that the English psychodrama begins, a delirium originating from Tuckel’s score, with the former Chelsea coach deciding to raise a defensive wall made up of five defenders to stem the uprising, the Argentine insurrection. The result is immediately noticeable, with the Albiceleste national team taking control of the script, aggressive and domineering, with Leo’s irreverent vertical play, and the English defending their fortress without a counterattack, a shred of relief. The English tactical suicide thus takes center stage. The numbers of the second half will certify this, two posts with the goalkeeper beaten, Enzo Fernandez’s goal in the 85th minute, and the masterpiece by bull Lautaro Martinez, on the sumptuous Renaissance stroke of Leo Messi. The rest is today’s story, with Tuchel defending himself from the ferocity of criticism but it wouldn’t take an army to get through, the second half with the lead and the subsequent crumbling wall have made headlines, and they are causing a lot of pain, a lot of noise. After the little final with France, at this point a pastry with indigestible rising, Tuchel’s bench may have another occupant.
