Toni Kroos’s Germany vs Rodri’s Spain Rodri is often the busiest man on the pitch; yet he has the calmest pair of eyes. He is always dispensing instructions, exhorting his men to keep the shape and order, urging them to keep calm and ride the storm, sniffing out a potentially dangerous move, filling up the space left behind by those deputed to attack or spotting an unspotted path to attack. But his eyes remain quiet, serenely scanning the field, processing the next move, and the next, comprehending the thrust of the narrative and seizing it before the adversaries do.

And the Frenchman isn’t the only European who believes this. Messi wouldn’t even need to dig too far. His own former teammate Xavi believes that the Euros are a...
