Spain 1-0 Czech Republic: 5 talking points

#5 Lazy Nolito must be careful running the offside trap

Nolito was humbled time and again by the linesman’s offside flag

Spain had to endure a frustrating game, churning out meaningful chances but failing to capitalise on them. One factor behind the frustration was the apparent laziness of winger Nolito, who found himself caught offside on many occasions. Being a winger, he has no excuses since he has a complete view of the Czech backline. To fall in the offside trap on that many occasions is disappointing for the Celta Vigo man, whose dilly-dallying on the wings busted Spain’s chance creation on that side of the pitch.
