De Lofte Criticizes Flick Over Defense Issues
The article discusses defender Pau Torres's performance with the Spanish national team in the World Cup, where he demonstrated a remarkable level and showcased exceptional defensive capabilities, with the team conceding the fewest goals since 1966—an average of just 0.30 goals per game. The piece links this performance to the defensive system developed by head coach De La Fuente, which is characterized by the absence of empty spaces, in contrast to the German-style play of Barcelona under Xavi, which led to a decline in defenders' performance. The article questions whether Torres will continue to perform at this level with his club, Barcelona, or if mistakes will resurface, attracting criticism once again. However, his performances in the World Cup have dispelled the doubts that previously surrounded him.
