Paolo Baresi: "My World Championship final"

What to say about this World Championship final? In my opinion it was a disappointment...Luckily the crowd showed plenty of enthusiasm which indeed pushed the Spanish team to win the world title. The match was already over after 15 minutes!Denmark looked overwhelmed by a pregame tension with plenty of mistakes in their game play.The Danes were indeed the shadow of the team which according to many analysts was the favourite to win the world title. Instead it was Spain which built up its victory on his super defense: Canellas,Morros,Guardiola Maqueda were unbreakable...Denmark was unable to find any tactical solutions to beat the Spaniards'defence.The few times they did succeed it was up to Sterbik to stop the Danish attacks! Spain broke away in the beginning of the game and without any doubt the gold medal was assigned after 20 minutes of the first half!The second half was meaningless and boring. The Spanish crowd puts up a show!What a great feeling! What are my thoughts about Hansen being chosen as MVP? Well, it is likely a reward to a player who is an icon for handball around the world. On the other hand, I was greatly impressed by Canellas who during the three days'finals had shown to be: a great leader,an awesome defender and a super playmaker who took Maqueda to play an awesome final match...Anyhow, as a former goalkeeper myself, I can not forget to mention Sterbik.This guy has shown again on to be the one who can make a difference in a game...a terrific goalkeeper.. Denmark again failed to win..great skills,great players!What's wrong with the Danes?What are this team's limitations?I believe it is about time for the Danish to sit and find out what is going on...
