Ferran Torres is a killer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s quite amusing that Manchester City gave Ferran Torres the shirt number 21, because obviously it makes everyone think of David Silva, a classy and elegant playmaker. That&#8217;s funny because Ferran is nothing like David Silva as a player. The young Valencian is a wing-forward with pace, skill and an eye for goal that has seen Pep Guardiola use him as a false nine.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight he played off Alvaro Morata but repeatedly showed that he had the cutting edge to devastate Germany. With Timo Werner and Serge Gnabry up the other end looking like traffic cones, Ferran Torres was hell on wheels, running Die Mannschaft over.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Only three players have scored a hat-trick against Germany in a competitive match since their reunification in 1990:<\/p>\n<p>??

His every touch, move and drive was towards goal, away from defenders. He let fly with 7 shots, more than anyone else on the pitch, and the emphatic nature of his goals showed his incredible range of finishes. The first goal a devastating but controlled volley, the second a clean finish at the back-post, and his hat-trick came courtesy of a sumptuous first-time strike low from the edge of the area that would make David Villa stand up and applaud.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since David Villa fell off, Spain have been searching for their next main goalscoring presence. Many strikers have tried, even done fairly well, but no one has looked as likely to be Spain&#8217;s next great goalscorer as Ferran Torres. Tonight we saw an example of why as he tore Germany limb from limb. The quicksilver winger with the killer instinct.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ferran Torres&#39; game by numbers:<\/p>\n<p>100% tackle-success<br \/>84% passing accuracy<br \/>42 touches<br \/>7 shots<br \/>4 shots on target<br \/>3 goals<br \/>2 take-ons completed<br \/>2 chances created<\/p>\n<p>Career-defining performance. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NEju6fYnu3\">pic.twitter.com\/NEju6fYnu3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1328816332910039053?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Germany looking Low<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Joachim &#8220;Jogi&#8221; Low has struggled a bit lately. As good as Germany are, and as much as they came into tonight&#8217;s game unbeaten in 12 and needing just a point to make the Nations League final four, things weren&#8217;t exactly going well.<\/p>\n<p>The recent 3-3 draws against Turkey and Switzerland betrayed that this was a German side that wasn&#8217;t quite as solid as it often appeared to be. And given that their best player Joshua Kimmich won&#8217;t play until at least January, there was a sense of worry that some weaknesses could be exposed against Spain &#8211; but that the attack would have enough to get the win.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Germany have suffered their heaviest defeat in 89 years.<\/p>\n<p>Joachim Low&#39;s days are numbered. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ygG8Kyrujo\">pic.twitter.com\/ygG8Kyrujo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1328814517233606658?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>But what Spain did was expose the huge weakness in Germany&#8217;s side. Jogi Low&#8217;s side look dangerous in a 3-4-3, but when in a 4-3-3 as they were tonight the midfield is simply too vulnerable to being pressed. Leon Goretzka, Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gundogan were terrible, completely devoured by the Spanish mid-block press and Low waited until the hour mark to make changes when it was obviously 30 minutes in that things were not working.<\/p>\n<p>Losing is bad, but losing in the way Germany lost, looking devoid of ideas, intention and intensity, is very troubling. Obviously Kimmich will return, and a switch to 3-4-3 should help restore some sort of intensity and order, but Low has been in charge of the side for 14 years now. Maybe he&#8217;s just finally run out of ideas? Maybe now Germany should move on?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Fabian Ruiz is the key to everything<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No one likes to see anyone get injured, especially if that player has had fitness concerns dog them their whole career. So when Sergio Canales left the field with a hamstring problem before the 10 minute mark, Spain would have been crestfallen as well as worried.<\/p>\n<p>However much as we extend sympathies to Canales, the injury was a blessing in disguise because it meant that Spain brought Fabian Ruiz onto the field. And once the 24-year-old came onto the field, the performance kicked up several gears.<\/p>\n<p>Fabian is, like most Spanish midfielders, an exemplary technician blessed with a silky touch and lovely range of passing. However what he also has is an incredible engine, a physical capacity to hurtle up and down the field.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is the first time Manuel Neuer has conceded 6+ goals in a competitive game in his professional career.<\/p>\n<p>Who had this in 2020 bingo? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/l5E8zFpWz3\">pic.twitter.com\/l5E8zFpWz3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1328818277762609152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>With Fabian on the field, Spain&#8217;s midfield was full of energy and that was the core of the pressing game that suffocated Germany. Fabian&#8217;s driving runs with and without the ball also added a verticality that Spain have too often lacked. These runs nearly always led to shots, and also Spain&#8217;s fifth goal when he surged forward and laid the ball off for Ferran&#8217;s finish.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s his corners, ferocious bending arcs whose trajectory left the German defence with no chance. Spain scored two of their four goals directly from Fabian&#8217;s corners, scoring with an almost insulting ease against a gigantic German side.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true that everyone in Spain red played well against Germany, but no one played as well as Fabian Ruiz. Passing and penetration and pace as well? This man is a different kind of Spanish midfield maestro.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spain U23 Squad Depth Analysis | Ansu, Ferran, Oyarzabal &amp; More\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XRxDyJo8G7Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4.
