【無敵艦隊スペイン】ラ・ロハによる時代を象徴づける勝利

Footage 0:00〜1:35

 

Balague: 2010 was a group of events and that’s a lesson to anybody who wants to make a team. Led by somebody with a calm head and the right values, not just in football, but in life. So the Spanish Federation decided maybe two decades ago to win, to get better, to actually maximise the potential of a group of players who were very good. Every generation, we have great players, but it was not happening. There were always obstacles. To actually manage to get the best of them was to make the Federation almost like a club with a director of football, with an idea that had to be applied every age group with a style as well that would determine which kind of players you bring into the national team. So, it was all done with the idea that once they get into the first team, they would have had the experience of playing international football. Yes, it’s a mixture of that, a philosophy if you like.
