Throughout many years the Spanish selection suffered of having forwards of real level. In those years in which the cocktail could have big doormen like Arconada or Zubizarreta, defenses of the height of Gordillo, Camacho, Iron or Christmas and creative players as Míchel, Martin Vazquez, Butragueño or Guardiola, it(he,she) was conforming to forwards who in the circumstances of the moment were doing good seasons as Manolo, Salt mines, Kiko, and even it(he,she) managed to nationalize(naturalize) Pizzi.
In the years of change of century the Spanish entrusted his(her,your) offensive reference to a capable forward but without importance as Raul and a scorer as Morientes that always had difficulties to be a holder in his(her,your) respective equipments(teams). It(he,she) is not of surprising that even it(he,she) makes small the third maximum historical scorer was a defender: Fernando Hierro.
Equal to the explosion of the qualit mid-field players there took place(was produced) also the arrival to the selection of two forwards whose characteristics supposed a break as for quality and qualities, the Asturian David Villa, an attacker of great mobility and voracity, and Fernando Torres, "9" classic that was combining speed, height and facility to look for spaces. It(he,she) is not of surprising that the best sports epoch of Spain has coincided with the appearance(blossoming) of these two attackers.
In the present the selection faces the problem of having one of them in very under condition(state) of form and to other one in half of a struck injury, precisely, in his(her,your) worse season of last years. Nobody doubts that the second Spanish line, shaped by authentic world stars like Forest, Bush or Cesc it(he,she) can compensate for the absence of not having the best possible forwards, but there exists the problem of which none of the principal alternatives that they handle are pieces consolidated.
There is outlined like preferred by the fans an attacker who is completing his(her,your) better season, (to see EVERYTHING WHAT VILLA DID TO GO TO THE EURO 2008 AND WHAT SOLDADO ALREADY IT(HE,SHE) HAS DONE Http: // futbolisticametrica.blogspot.com/2011/11/lo-que-villa-hizo-para-ir-la-euro2008-y.htmL )
But it does not solve a problem that spreads to the need to occupy one or two more squares(seats) in the top of assault and to be here where it(he,she) gains(earns) advantage to be summoned Fernando Weep For You.
His(Her,Your) ascent begins with the obtecnión of the boot of silver in same World Sub-20 in that an Argentine end became famous very desequilibrante so called Lionel Messi. Nevertheless the years of instability in the Athletic pre-Caparrós he(she) condemned him to the ostracism. With the arrival of the technician utrerano Fernando turned(became) the forward of reference, is here his(her,your) evolution from those years till now:

This one was his(her,your) first season in which it was titular most of the meetings. His(her,your) contribution scorer was modest in a club which little volume of game seemed him(her) to lead to the decrease. With everything, almost the fourth part(report) of so many people with his(her,your) equipment(team) they were marked By Fernando who was showing good numbers with a view to door.

At the end of the previous season his(her,your) position(place) like forward I centre already indisputable age and the equipment(team) of Caparrós started abusing the facility with which the physicist of Weep For You way was made between(among) the defenders. It carried a major dependence of a player who for his(her,your) characteristics was necessary still(yet) very much learning in the area and the result was that the increase of prodigality of the forward carried a decrease of his(her,your) aim. With everything, the total number(figure) of goals of the equipment(team) and that of the own(proper) player, they rose lightly.

With a few almost traced numbers it(he,she) ended Weep for the following season. The great difference was the increase of competitiveness of a set square very rejuvenated with Lezama's new values, the increase of defensive safety(security) that the Sevillian technician is in the habit of stamping on his(her,your) equipments(teams). The Athletic had happened(passed) of being a candidate for the decrease for a finalist of Glass who was appearing to Europa League's positions(places).

In spite of that the best results of the recent history of the Athletic had come from Caparrós's hand between(among) the interest and the candidates for the presidency the idea spread of that was possible to extract a major performance(yield) to an equipment that it(he,she) seemed not to evolve. The certain thing is that in this season, in which the Athletic would qualify for European competition route sixth position(place) in the League, it(he,she) had started extracting an increasing performance(yield) of new young persons values like Javi Martínez or Muniaín. The increase of power of the second from Bilbao line feeds with more profusion a Fernando Weep that it(he,she) disputes almost all the parties(games) of league, which scorer raises his(her,your) average of goals for party(game) and his(her,your) efficiency simultaneously. Is(belongs,performs) as if an invisible barrier was penetrated.

Bielsa's arrival has supposed a radical draft in the style of game of the Athletic Club. With mid-field players playing as head offices(plants), with ends re-turned into wings, with pivots I extracted of mid-field players of touch and making play in a simultaneous way players like Susaeta, Muniaín or Ander Herrera that seemed to be doomed(condemned) to be in the way. Fernando's protagonism Weep For You, the dependence towards his(her,your) appearances cause it(he,she) has diminished drásticvamente, but not this way his(her,your) averages that have continued improving up to reaching them of "9" quoted worldwide. One of every 4 shots finishes in goal and his(her,your) average of so many people for party(game) goes way of taking him beyond 23 goals.

MORE YEARS, FEWER SHOTS, MORE GOALS

An aspect to stand out of his(her,your) evolution has been the way of assuming the protagonism inside the field. In last three years of Caparrós, when the player already had turned into the "King León", his(her,your) average of shots for party(game) spent(passed) from 3.11 to 3.23 and to 3.27 but parallel the average of shots of his(her,your) companions also rose from 8.9 to 9.7 and, that is to say that being increasingly in touch with the ball it(he,she) was achieving 10.6 to finish more plays and was allowing more shots of the second line.
In the present season his(her,your) average of shots has diminished sensitively up to 2.83 shots for party(game), in spite of which it(he,she) has improved in the choice(election) at the moment of finishing since(as,like) demonstrates it to have duplicated his(her,your) precision with a view to goal. Nevertheless, this decrease of shots does not come from that the player plays more for the group, since his(her,your) companions shoot now 9.85 shots for party(game), but rather of the difficulties that the equipment(team) of Bielsa has had, specially to beginnings of season, to apply his(her,your) creed first of all type of rivals. Parallel to the increase of efficiency of Weep For You the decrease has gone in the efficiency of his(her,your) companions that has happened from 10.13 % last year to 9.85 % this one.
Despite everything, the total efficiency of the equipment(team) has improved in 3 tenths for what it is necessary to hope that an improvement in the aim of his(her,your) accompanists will produce a sensitive improvement in the offensive value of the equipment(team).
Apart from these considerations on his(her,your) statistics of shot the attention calls that his(her,your) average, which was courting 0.38-0.40 in the first three years of Caparrós rose up to 0.48 last year and courts 0.68 in the present. It is necessary to attribute this substantial improvement to the curve of learning, in spite of the fact that the player already counts with 27 years of age. One gives the circumstance of which this climbed over the curve it(he,she) is in the habit of being in the first years of the score for those players who are in the habit of depending on the speed or on the technical improvement. But for those players who depend on a tactical long learning (specially head offices(plants), creative and front mid-field players of great importance), the increase of wisdom inside the area of game recovers from his(her,your) virtues more related to the youth.
Let's see this table:


GOLES/

0.50
15.6
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC
0.74
18.9
FREDÈRIC KANOUTE

14.6

In her(it) there are three circumstances that make her(it) comparable to the information of Fernando Weep for this season:
1-They are forwards I centre of great importance and specialists in the game of backs
2-They are attackers whose better numbers(figures) scorers come with the treintena
3-The numbers(figures) correspond(fit) to the season in which they expire 27 years.

Since we can see, the present numbers of Weep For You they invite to the hope. The tactical learning of a positional forward, who has to attend contínuamente to the helps of head offices(plants) to be stopped, that has difficulties to play with spaces, which it(he,she) has to fix defenders to favor his(her,your) companions, that it(he,she) has to learn to survive in different defensive systems but always near the desk, is a long and complicated process that is established in a wealth-producing and long experience. For against, the great stature, the corpulence, the muscular development of the top train, are not physical factors that suffer wastages along the youth, for what it is logical that the forwards of these characteristics give his(her,your) better performance(yield) in advanced ages.


TO TITLE WITH THE SELECTION?

We do not know if any day Fernando Torres will return to give his(her,your) better version or if the inexorable career(race) against the years will catch a certainly devaluated Villa. Soldier looks like a forward in progression which higher level still(yet) we do not know it and under Álvaro Negredo's irregular print they hide a few soccer qualities beyond the common.
On the other hand it would be a sinsentido that a seleccionador capable of choosing between Forest, Iniesta, Bush, Cesc, Plain amid mountains, Cazorla, Xavi ... refuse to align a forward as Fernando, accustomed to playing surrounded with several players of similar pérfil and whose(which) performance(yield) scorer improves the numbers(figures) of many consecrated forwards and that in addition already has been summoned in 19 occasions.
His(Her,Your) goal before Scotland in Hampden Park, with a Spain clogged before a low rival, should to him(her) have stopped convincing.
