\u201cHe was immense and his big frame \u2013 which is like that of two goalkeepers in the goalpost \u2013 made it difficult [for Spain].<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looked solid and convincing and deservingly, he made a save and gave [his team] the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
