Gary Lineker is joined by Spanish football expert Sid Lowe to give us the inside track on players such as Dani Olmo, Nico Williams, Rodri and Lamine Yamal.
In particular, Sid tells us the extraordinary family story of Nico Williams, whose brother Iñaki plays for Ghana. Plus how has national coach Luis de la Fuente changed Spain from a team obsessed with possession to a team with flying wingers?

By "Spanish football expert" if you mean a person who never fails to push Franco FC/VARdrid's agenda, being biased against teams of the autonomous regions, being harsh on Athletic Bilbao even though he is well aware of its uniqueness given the Basque club was bigger than VARdrid until fascist Franco and King's patronage, being very careful and not uttering a word on the soft loans by Spanish banks and bail out money from Spanish Royal family to VARdrid to keep the overspending club afloat as it has keep buying stars given its academy isnt that good?? yes then you can call him that lol

The Youth Development System in Spain is second to none, Spanish Coaches are tactical and in LaLiga teams are comfortable in possession, they pride in technical ability, and it is one of the leagues that still promote a lot of player expression. The scary thing about this Spanish Team is that I have no doubt between now and World Cup 2016 they'll find some new Spanish Talent. Their Youth System is unbelievable. I always say that a league plays a part in how the national team plays. You can literally dip your hand in every LaLiga Club and Find a proper midfielder. It is just their style, their way, it is how they do things. Great from Sid on Spain.

The first Spain game I watched all year was the win against Italy in the group stage. What I found most striking wasn't the quality with the ball (was never lost since the mid 2000s), and the newfound tactical variety that has proven so difficult to defend against It was the attitude. Here there were, a team full of little known players, some really young as discussed, playing the finals of a major tournament, and they had *zero* respect to show for this Italy that were title defenders. That pattern would repeat itself in the other games, except perhaps that second half against Germany. That lack of self-awareness, and blatant disregard for the ghosts of the past, was what told me then that they well may make it big this time. I wasn't disappointed.

England has never won the euros and only has a growing distant memory of the 1966 world cup to look back on. We are a footballing nation and our country would be so emphatically happy to win this tournament especially after coming so close in the 2020/1 final. Spain of course has been the dominant team in this tournament and if they win they deserve it but from a fans perspective i hope it comes to England because Spain has already had more than it’s fair share to celebrate.

I’ll explain. My comment was not meant for your post but for the previous one.

It’s the performance in the second half and crucial subs from Gareth if England are to have any chance. Oh and for Harry Kane to magically get on form.

But there’s also a hell lot of belief and anything can happen on the pitch 🙌 Hope it’s a cracking game and not a 4-1 thrashing from Spain 😅

Finally football and strategics is played by the players so a team has to adapt the strategic to the players that you have on every moment... having posession worked for the 2008 generation because we had the best midfielders in the world (iniesta, xavi, silva, cesc, Busquet, Xabi Alonso, Cazorla...) but once they were gone it is impossible to intend playing in the same way, this is why HIerro and Luis Enrique failed as managers, they tried to play in the same way with not so talented players. For Spain possesion is important still but they have been able to adapt this philosophy to the most talented players in the country.
