Why Spain Have The PERFECT System To Win The Euros

Рет қаралды 78,352

21 күн бұрын

Despite being largely unfancied before the tournament, Spain have swept all aside on their march to the Quarter-Finals, and now face Germany with the winner almost certain to be favourites.
But how, without their usual array of big-name stars, have they looked like Euro 2024's most accomplished team? Adam Clery looks at both the personnel and the system to show why they could go all the way.

Spain v Germany is basically the final - they are by the far the best two teams in the tournament, and it's a real shame they have to play each other so early. I'm not sure that home advantage is quite such a big thing for the Germans; but Nagelsmann (possibly the most tactically astute coach in the tournament) and Musiala (the one player who regularly looks like he could conjure a goal from nothing) might be the difference makers. Let's hope for a great game anyway.

I think that the person who loves football sees clearly that the Spanish team is the one that currently plays the best.

Hi mate, greetings from Spain. 100% De la Fuente PLAYED WITH FAST WINGERS since the beginning with the young players. He was able to use a 4-3-3 Or a 4-2-3-1. In my opinion his style is a Tiki-Taka 2.0 because he still wants the possesion at any price. The classic tiki taka style needed a "doble pivote", a couple of deffensive midfielders as Xabi Alonso and Busquets to concentrate a vastly number of midfielders in the centre but without pure and vertical wingers and a false nine(4-5-1) De la fuente has sacrified this "doble pivote" in order to add two fast wingers(4-3-3). I am not an expert, ok? But more or less that's the big change!!!

@javierluissantosrubio6603 19 күн бұрын

De la Fuente It sacrifices the full-backs to be able to include two classic wingers but needs the full-backs to also be classic, Carvajal and Cucurella instead of Navas and Grimaldo who are more offensive, 2 centers instead of 3

Spain-Netherlands finals, repeat of the 2010, in which Spain will crush, once again, the hopes and dreams of the Dutch "golden generation".
