00:12Asalaamu alaykum hallo and welcome to sports room, I am Najeeb al-Asnain, 48 teams, 39 days, 16 venues and
00:211 champion.
00:22What an unbelievable world cup and what a great final, deserving champions.
00:27A team that made a build-up in the final, there was a one-sided match, which didn't have match,
00:36they thought that score line 1-0, but the match was completely one-sided.
00:44He dominated Spain for 16 years, again champion.
00:50A team that made a star-studded team, when the team looked at 2010, was a superstar.
01:00But it didn't happen, it wasn't all.
01:02It was a dedication, and a tremendous performance.
01:07They named it the title.
01:09As far as it is, we are in the studio in this season.
01:13One last time, Ali Tayyab. Asalaamu alaykum, welcome to the show.
01:16Wa alaykum asalaam.
01:18Zabardas performance, right?
01:19Deserved winners, I will tell you.
01:21The way they build up.
01:24You say that you mature into the tournament.
01:27And in this team, there is no such a superstar.
01:30If we talk about strikers, Mbappe, Vinicius Jury, Haaland,
01:35they have no world-class certified strikers.
01:40Look, Lamil Yamal is now, he is just 19 years old.
01:44You can show that stuff.
01:45And they play in the right hand.
01:47If you see Arsible, he is not in the bracket of elite strikers.
01:52But this team, as a team, has played.
01:55It's a team sport.
01:56The way they have met, as we have seen in the package,
02:00Argentina was nowhere in the game.
02:03One-nil does not tell the whole story.
02:05It was full domination.
02:07And then demolition was demolished.
02:10The score of two or three-nil should be done.
02:12It's only about this.
02:15During these 90 minutes,
02:18and then the first half of the extra time,
02:20there was no attempt on goal.
02:23There was no shot on target.
02:24There was no attempt at all.
02:26Basically, the question is, Ali,
02:28and many people want to know,
02:29what was the game plan in Argentina?
02:31What did we think about 90 minutes,
02:33extra time,
02:35and we will talk about penalties?
02:36Because they didn't look at it.
02:38Now let's break down this.
02:39When we were reviewing this match,
02:41I told you that Spain will play counter-press
02:44and play their possession-based football.
02:46They will lose possession,
02:48they will win possession,
02:49recycle the ball and come back.
02:50Now let's talk about Argentina.
02:52Argentina's performance and tactics,
02:56we need to see Argentina's pattern
02:57that in the past games,
02:59England's match,
03:01Switzerland's match,
03:03and Kobo Verde's match,
03:05Egypt's match,
03:07what are they doing?
03:08They were trailing almost all of those matches.
03:11They had to come from behind.
03:13You said that most of them
03:15were late on goals scored.
03:17we were saying that
03:18they didn't think
03:20that 80 minutes of the game
03:21could even be a goal.
03:22At that time,
03:22they were doing it.
03:23Because some of them
03:24had their teams against superiority.
03:26Against England,
03:27England had to capitulate and
03:28nervous because of the occasion.
03:31But Spain knew that
03:33there was a lot of quality opposition.
03:35tactics in their own place.
03:36They had the tactics
03:37that they had to do
03:39man-to-man,
03:39pound-for-pound,
03:40team-cheat,
03:41we couldn't compete on the team.
03:42We won't counter press,
03:43so what would we do?
03:45We will play low block.
03:46We will sit back,
03:47pressure invite.
03:48If we get the spaces,
03:49then Messi has a goal.
03:51Julian Alvarez has a goal.
03:52We can do a goal on the counter-attack.
03:55But Spain
03:56had a crowd in midfield.
03:59You can see,
04:00Mark Cucuraya
04:01from the right
04:02and
04:03from the left.
04:05They had their wingers
04:07together.
04:08They had two centre-backs
04:09like Laporte
04:10and Kobasi
04:10with them.
04:12Basically,
04:12three-man
04:14centre defenders
04:15and the rest
04:16didn't have space.
04:18I said that
04:19that England
04:19had to lose
04:20because they gave Messi
04:21space.
04:22When Messi didn't get space,
04:23then Messi didn't do anything.
04:24How did they do?
04:25Total 15 touches
04:26for their entire 120 minutes.
04:28The thing is,
04:29when we are sitting here
04:30talking about
04:31Argentina
04:32thinking about it,
04:33they didn't have this
04:33idea.
04:34I was talking about it.
04:35Their defense
04:37has been treated
04:38like a wall.
04:40One goal
04:41in the World Cup
04:42right from
04:43game one
04:43until the final.
04:45There is only one goal
04:45against them.
04:46This shows how strong
04:47their defense is.
04:48Very strong.
04:49They had no option
04:50but to play for penalties.
04:52They played low block
04:52and if it doesn't happen,
04:54what we have to do
04:54is we have to drag
04:55penalties.
04:55In penalties
04:56anybody's game
04:57for them.
04:57This is very big
04:58that we have to do
04:58with Spain's team.
05:00They have to do it
05:01too.
05:01You can see,
05:03this match will be
05:03very early.
05:04If Emiliano
05:05and Martinez
05:05have no heroics
05:06in the goal.
05:07If there is one player
05:08who played football
05:09on the pitch,
05:11Argentina's goalkeeper.
05:12Ten attempts.
05:13It's a record.
05:14Credit to him.
05:15What saves.
05:16Especially,
05:16Lamil Yemal
05:17got a free kick
05:18that was bang on target.
05:21Goalkeeping
05:22is very important.
05:23Even when Ferran Torres
05:24and Mikel Marino
05:25came as a substitute
05:26then we thought
05:27that Spain turned
05:28up to school.
05:28Game changed.
05:29After that,
05:31we have also seen
05:32that Debo Martinez
05:32has a very
05:33save.
05:35Then a goal
05:36that Nico Williams
05:37has done.
05:38The goal
05:38has done.
05:39He was giving his all.
05:41But Messi
05:42again,
05:43disappointment.
05:43I am now
05:44from the Argentinian
05:44players' attitude
05:45and his approach
05:46towards him.
05:47We are talking about
05:47the fight.
05:49But before,
05:50we talked about
05:52Michael Marino
05:53and Ferran Torres.
05:55I would say
05:56that you have to
05:57give the manager
05:57credit to you
05:59because
06:00the thing
06:00that happened
06:02yesterday.
06:03In fact,
06:04this happened later
06:06that they
06:07say that
06:07they are not
06:09substitutes.
06:10They are my finishers.
06:11This is right.
06:12the game
06:14changes.
06:15Mikel Marino
06:19and Ferran Torres
06:21and Nico Williams.
06:23Of course.
06:23They have
06:24disallowed goals.
06:25This goal line
06:26would have been
06:26fair reflection
06:27that it was
06:282-0 or 3-0.
06:29One goal
06:29was disallowed,
06:30one one
06:30did
06:31and the other
06:32saved.
06:33But
06:34the tactics
06:35was
06:36Argentina
06:37didn't have
06:37no answer.
06:39In the first half
06:40you can see
06:41Deva Chase
06:41and Shadows.
06:43Messi
06:43was preserving
06:46himself.
06:46He did not
06:47track back.
06:48He was in his position.
06:50That's why
06:50he had so many
06:51minimal touches.
06:51the impact
06:52of them.
06:53Until
06:55Spain
06:56approached
06:56there was only one
06:57team in the match
06:58that was playing
06:59football
07:00and wanted to win.
07:02Attack
07:02and attack
07:03and attack
07:03and attack
07:04and attack
07:04and attack
07:04and attack
07:05and attack
07:05in the second half
07:06had so many
07:07that Argentina
07:08could not
07:09understand
07:09what to do.
07:10It was inevitable
07:11that the goal
07:12had to happen
07:12because as many
07:13attacks
07:13and as many
07:18every metric
07:19of the game
07:19dominated Spain
07:21has been dominated.
07:21In England
07:23and Argentina
07:23in the match
07:24Thomas Tuchel
07:25has a plan B.
07:26Lionel Scaloni
07:26is a World Cup
07:27winning coach.
07:29Argentina
07:29has a plan B.
07:32One,
07:32your tactics
07:33won't happen.
07:34So what do
07:35you do?
07:36If you do
07:37counter press
07:37and commit
07:39their players
07:39then Spain
07:41has so much
07:41quality
07:42and pace
07:42that they knew
07:44that we had
07:44goals.
07:46That's why
07:46they were defensive
07:47and their only chance
07:49because the quality
07:50of the teams
07:51I'm sorry
07:52I'm going to say
07:53but it's the
07:53ground.
07:55No doubt about it.
07:56I've said
07:58that if they play
07:58man-to-man
07:59if they play
08:00open style
08:00of football
08:01this could have been
08:02a four or five
08:02thing.
08:04They were playing
08:05for penalties.
08:06They were playing
08:06for penalties.
08:07No doubt about it.
08:08We were talking
08:08about a good final
08:10that was
08:11France
08:12and Spain
08:13because
08:14it was a team
08:15that could have
08:16fought
08:17against them.
08:18That's it.
08:19Otherwise,
08:20if England
08:20has been here,
08:21I think
08:22there was no match.
08:24I think
08:24you didn't have
08:25said that
08:26the final
08:27of France
08:28and Spain
08:28that was the final
08:29basically.
08:32England
08:32if it comes
08:33probably
08:34they play
08:35open football
08:36but then
08:37the goal line
08:37is emphatic.
08:381-0
08:392-3-4-0
08:40but the outcome
08:41is this.
08:42The quality
08:43of England
08:43composure.
08:45Spain
08:452nd World Cup
08:46in 16 years
08:47has a maturity
08:48mentality
08:48that they have
08:50done that.
08:51England
08:51has a composure.
08:53This is the
08:53defending champion
08:54Ali.
08:55We were expecting better
08:56football from this.
08:57If you look at
08:58the final last
08:59was an ideal situation.
09:01There is a Copa America
09:02winner and a Euro
09:03champion.
09:04We wanted
09:05a rivalry.
09:07If you look at
09:09the balance of
09:09play,
09:10this is my opinion
09:11again.
09:12I was looking at
09:12a critical eye
09:14from the tournament
09:15in my opinion.
09:16Argentina
09:16did not deserve
09:18to be in the final.
09:19There were better
09:20teams.
09:21Agreed.
09:21Agreed.
09:22No doubt about it.
09:23Those controversies
09:24and favourable
09:24decisions.
09:25I think
09:26Kobo Verde
09:26at least
09:27in Egypt
09:29or in Switzerland
09:30they should have
09:31been out
09:31from the tournament.
09:32But
09:3625 fouls.
09:38It's an embarrassment
09:39for a former
09:40champion,
09:41three times
09:42as Argentina
09:43that
09:43you have
09:4590 minutes
09:46in the first
09:47half of extra
09:48time
09:48you have
09:48registered
09:49your first attempt
09:51on goal
09:51is 170
09:52minutes
09:52which is
09:533 minutes
09:54from extra
09:55time
09:55from extra
09:55time.
09:56So I mean
09:57approach
09:58so negative
09:59and anti-football
10:01played
10:01Argentina
10:02as a World Cup
10:04final
10:05spectacle
10:05what
10:06was
10:06better than
10:07third and fourth
10:08place
10:08play-off match
10:09has been
10:10in the last
10:11Let's talk about
10:12Ferrin Torres.
10:13I mean
10:14his life
10:14will be the highlight
10:17that he scored
10:18the goal
10:19from Barca
10:19who has been
10:2026 years old.
10:22In this team
10:22there are 8
10:23Barcelona players.
10:242010
10:25he was 8
10:26when he became
10:27champion.
10:28How big role
10:29in Barca
10:29is
10:29this
10:30we know
10:30about Ferrin Torres
10:32and his goals
10:34tell us
10:35what kind of performance
10:37has been
10:38The biggest thing
10:39is
10:40they are playing
10:41with Lamine Yamal
10:42in Barcelona.
10:44At this time
10:44Barcelona team units
10:45are in transition
10:46and they are allowing
10:47young talent to flourish.
10:49It's not the same
10:49as it happened
10:50in the past.
10:51It's not the same.
10:52You don't have the Ronaldinho's
10:54and the Messi's
10:54and the Puyol's
10:55that team
10:56is not the same.
10:58Chavis
10:58but it's a development team.
11:00Now they have La Liga
11:00and they have
11:02Spanish champions
11:03and they have
11:04World Champions
11:04but Ferrin Torres is
11:06a very good striker.
11:07He has been playing
11:07many years in Barcelona
11:09and Lamine Yamal
11:10is a academy
11:11from Lamisi
11:12academy.
11:13He is a very good
11:14World Cup
11:15final
11:16Mokka
11:16composure
11:17how did you feel?
11:18You have
11:19nervousness
11:20or sometimes
11:21the occasion
11:22that you have
11:22nervous
11:23but you have
11:24never seen anything
11:24in Spanish players.
11:27No.
11:28It's very frustrating
11:29that you are
11:30attempting so much
11:31and you are giving
11:32your 100%
11:33and you are not
11:34giving your goal.
11:34There is no panic
11:36set in.
11:38I have been
11:38with the Spanish team
11:40Mikel Marino
11:41he did it against
11:42Portugal
11:42he did it against
11:43Belgium.
11:43continuously
11:44you are saying
11:45that the job
11:46and task
11:47you have given
11:48at a small time period
11:50like 10 minutes
11:50or 12 minutes
11:51and it is not
11:52that he did not know
11:53that he did not know
11:54that he did not know
11:54that he did not know
11:55but he did not stop.
11:57Ferrin Torres came
11:58in the Argentinian defense
11:59and he said
12:01this is what you call
12:02plan B
12:03which we have seen
12:04from Spain.
12:05Argentina
12:05I am sorry for all
12:06that they have been
12:07and Messi obviously
12:08he is one of the greatest
12:10of all time
12:11but they did not have
12:12a plan B
12:13and they were playing
12:13for penalties.
12:14It was very, very
12:16disappointing
12:16in negative football.
12:17I am glad to have you back once again
12:25to sports room
12:26and Spanish team
12:27the world champion Spain
12:29is reached again
12:30from Spain.
12:30I am sure
12:30you will see
12:31that this team
12:33is reached again
12:35and obviously
12:36they will be a great
12:38and the winners of the world cup
12:41in 2026
12:46We have told you
12:49that there are no superstars
12:52in this team
12:52but what they did
12:54what they have achieved
12:55is just unbelievable
12:56which the players
12:58which has seen
12:59Wo-O.
13:02Here,
13:03it took most awards
13:04even
13:05from Spain
13:06as well
13:07as you've said
13:08that I have said
13:10that you have never
13:10very much superstar
13:10plus that
13:11you have to say
13:11Roger
13:12has a team
13:14from his team
13:17which is not a great
13:18quite a fun
13:18in his team
13:23which is
13:24even
13:24He has a very brilliant performance. Obviously, he also has the defence support.
13:30Record number of clean cheats by Unai Simon.
13:33And you can see that the best player in the Golden Ball is a rotary midfield engine.
13:38He was the captain.
13:39And Saraj is a general in the midfield and orchestrator.
13:44He has to sit in front of the defence.
13:48The record number of clean cheats from Unai Simon in World Cup was unique.
13:52The record number of clean cheats from Manchester City,
13:57which has won the treble winning season.
13:59Or Spain won the Euro in 2014.
14:01In that year, in 2014, he won the best player of the year.
14:06After that, he has injured ACL.
14:09And this is almost a whole year.
14:11And his last season is not good for Man City.
14:14But it looks like he is back.
14:16And he is probably moving to Real Madrid.
14:22He is one of the best players in the world.
14:24Now, we will see that this year,
14:26the winner of Spain will be the Ballon d'Or of Spain.
14:29It looks like that.
14:30And when we talk about awards,
14:33Koubasi is the best young player.
14:36Only 19 years.
14:37So mature of his age.
14:39So mature of his age.
14:39So mature of his age.
14:39You have been in Barcelona.
14:41And that has been replicated.
14:43But we have talked about this team as a team.
14:47It's a young team.
14:48It's a young team.
14:49It's a young art players in Barcelona.
14:50It's a young Barcelona team.
14:51But you have got certain elements.
14:53who are very mature.
14:55We have talked about Roddy.
14:56We have talked about Niko Williams.
14:57We have talked about Mikael Marino.
14:59They are mature.
15:00But the flair of Yamal.
15:02Or the flair of Koubasi.
15:05These young players.
15:06They have played Peddery.
15:09Peddery is also in Barcelona.
15:11So, I mean, it's a very good mix.
15:13With the team sport.
15:15And we have predicted that
15:16at the beginning,
15:18that Spain is going to be one of the semi-finalists.
15:22But,
15:24it's a clinical performance.
15:25Look at that.
15:26How do you grow in the tournament?
15:28They peaked at the right time.
15:31And that peak,
15:32we have seen the evidence against France.
15:36How did France take place?
15:38How did they make it?
15:39How did they make it?
15:41How did they make it?
15:42How did they make it?
15:43How did they make it?
15:44How did they make it?
15:45How did they make it?
15:45That Spain made them look very average.
15:48That's right.
15:50And the fair play award
15:51also got the same team of Spain.
15:54In the last match,
15:55we saw that Argentina
15:56showed a lot of aggression.
15:59In the game,
16:00during the game
16:00and after the game
16:01the same things were happening.
16:04They didn't suit.
16:05In the third position,
16:07we saw hurdles
16:09and everyone had a lot of handshake.
16:13But in the final,
16:14after the game,
16:15there were no good sights.
16:17Ali?
16:18No, no.
16:19I think that FIFA
16:19in retrospect
16:21should be able to take action
16:22because
16:22look,
16:23there were some extreme actions
16:25that we have never seen
16:26in any football match
16:27after the game.
16:29And look,
16:30Najib,
16:30this is a sportsman spirit.
16:32There is no team
16:33become a champion.
16:34This is not a football team.
16:35It's not a cricket sport.
16:36It's very natural
16:37that Saares,
16:38coaching staff,
16:39substitute players
16:40and they're doing a pitch
16:41invasion.
16:42So,
16:42you give them
16:42to celebrate them.
16:45They won the World Cup.
16:46Fair and square.
16:47Deserved winners.
16:48After that,
16:49we saw the antics
16:52against the spirit
16:53of the sport,
16:54against the sportsman spirit.
16:56It's very disappointing.
16:57It was a performance
16:58disappointing.
16:59It was more
17:00than the Argentinian
17:02attitude
17:02and actions
17:03disappointing.
17:04And I'm very disappointed
17:05in Lionel Messi
17:06also,
17:06by the way.
17:07It was a scene
17:08that he had
17:10seen.
17:10In this match,
17:12obviously,
17:13we need to talk
17:14about the golden boot
17:14winner.
17:15Mbappe,
17:17France's captain,
17:1810 goals
17:19and back-to-back
17:20two times
17:21in the last World Cup
17:22and the golden boot
17:24winner.
17:24Messi
17:25has no goal
17:27in the final
17:27so he has been
17:28behind.
17:29And Mbappe
17:30came in the World Cup
17:31with the goals
17:32from this world cup.
17:33You can see
17:34that Kylian Mbappe
17:35has no goal
17:37against the team.
17:37Sinigal,
17:38Norway,
17:39England.
17:40I mean,
17:41look at the teams
17:41he has been dispatching.
17:43Paraguay has been
17:43very tough opposition.
17:44As compared to
17:45Messi's 8 goals,
17:46the team was only
17:47against Algeria,
17:48Jordan,
17:50Kobo Verde,
17:52Egypt,
17:53so you can see
17:54the quality of opposition
17:55too.
17:56Mbappe showed
17:57that he scored
17:58against the big teams
17:59and back-to-back
18:00World Cup.
18:01And I think
18:01another thing
18:02comes from
18:03that you have
18:05told me
18:06that Messi
18:06had the most goals
18:07in the world cup.
18:09I think you said
18:09that Mbappe
18:10is the record
18:10in the world cup.
18:12Because he was
18:12looking at his
18:14ability.
18:16So he is now
18:18the record
18:19goal scorer
18:20in world cup history.
18:22and the first man
18:24to win back-to-back
18:25golden boots as well.
18:27So that tells a lot.
18:28here,
18:29here,
18:29here,
18:30here,
18:31Lainal Messi
18:32and the third world cup
18:35final
18:35Lainal Messi
18:36was the third world cup
18:36In 2014,
18:37he won the world cup
18:38in Germany.
18:39He won the world cup
18:40and now he won.
18:41So one world cup
18:42and two losses
18:43for Lional Messi.
19:12So,
19:14deserving champion Spain
19:15I hope
19:16I hope you enjoy
19:17it.
19:17I hope you enjoy
19:32your joy.
19:33doesn't do it all.
19:33and that's the top
19:33Here,
19:33All right.
19:33Here,
19:34Here,
