Spain has won four major trophies in the 21st century, with the most recent in England on Euro 2024 last summer in Germany. Despite success in the minor groups at various European competitions, the Luis de la Fuente manager has catapulted in a level of national fame and signed his name in the history books of football. Now it has been revealed how he did it.
He recently signed a new deal with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) that kept him in the work until 2028, including the coming World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the US, and the next euros in the United Kingdom and Ireland. De La Fuente continued with Luis Enrique's introduction of new talent, while it adds a little more directness and some muscle in midfield. Despite the losing of Rodri Hernandez the final in Berlin, his way stood up against Gareth Southgate's England, with Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams that all cause different points.
The key to the game in the eyes of the La Fuente was maintaining the calmness in the face of the English pressure, building the back and focusing on the space to the right of Manchester United -Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The night before the final, a sheet full of notes was about what a tactical reading seems to be for the match, picked up by the Spanish press after they had trained in the Olympiastadion, but was only released this Monday evening. With the La Fuente on Onda Cero to discuss his new deal, the instructions were read to him.
“In capitals, with two exclamation drawings, calm.”
“2nd: Work the game.”
“Start Unai (calm).”
“4th: Druklamine, there was concern about the pressure that the English could put on Lamine.”
“Olmo Side Mainoo. On the left bad, right, good. '
“Depth of the full-backs, carvajal and cucurella.”
“Points to shoot.”
As it was, Kyle Walker right-back was often dragged in to treat Dani Olmo, who was not attracted by the midfield of England, which allowed space for Nico Williams on the left, which was given the opening goal. Marc Cucurella who plundered on the left was also the provider of the winner of Mikel Oyarzabal.
After the instructions were read back to the La Fuente, he laughed and noticed that they should have seen those they had not picked up. He will undoubtedly be grateful that they were not on the front page of each paper the next day.
