Similarly, the Spanish players also fell into despair and regret.
If in the first half they hadn't been overly attached to their own playing style and could have sacrificed and changed more for the other players, would the outcome have been completely different?
If Hernandez hadn't been injured in the second half, might they have further breached Italy's defense and scored more goals?
The Spanish midfielders deeply regretted it.
Though they grasped the truth, they hadn't learned to "join forces" with those who hadn't.
They thought of themselves as the only sober ones among the drunk.
Now, retribution has come.
All the Spanish players became dispirited.
They lost!
Lost to a not particularly strong Italy!
Lost to a newcomer who hasn't yet officially entered the top league and is "known more outside the circle"!
