Better performance in Spanish history (from the relatively high level of World Cup and European Cup)
1984 European cup runner-up 1950 world cup runner-up
Spain's performance in the competition has always been unsatisfactory, and it is often regarded as a favorite to win the championship. The group stage is invincible, and the knockout stage will be defeated.
Although La Liga has been the first league in Europe since the end of 1990s, the rise of the national team is still a matter of nearly two years.
After aragones became the head coach of the Spanish national team, he made a great transformation of Spain, boldly used new players, learned from Barcelona's successful model, and created a tactic of not fighting with opponents and controlling both rigidity and flexibility with the ball through delicate techniques, that is, emphasizing short pass cooperation, patience and possession of the ball. After drastic reforms, Spain finally defeated the hero in the 2008 European Cup.
His contribution is to create a successful model for Spain, just as total football's tactics are for Holland and defensive counter-attack tactics are for Italy. This is an eternal and successful tactical model.
Even if Spain changes coaches in the future, aragones's thoughts will be deeply branded in the Spanish national team.
On a whim, I said a little too much. What you see in Spain now is a period of great victory, from 2008 to the present.
