Es técnica y quiénes son técnicos?

Demasiada fuerza ofensiva brasileña para tan poca calidad defensiva argentina
The magazine calls for the retirement of Stábile, an end to the defensive "sangre, corazón, y garra" approach, and the hiring of coaches who can implement some system that works
Buen triunfo con 20 minutos brillantes
Panzeri analyzes the match between Spain and Argentina and finds that despite a new approach and coach, readers should not draw any conclusions about change and progress in the national team In addition, he criticizes the quality of Spanish defenders…
Al fútbol le está haciendo falta fútbol
Lazatti lumps AFA President Raul Colombo and Guillermo Stabile as the two main culprits of regressing Argentine soccer back to the days of British instruction and rigidity Instead, what is needed is less "modernism" and more Argentineanness: knowing…
