Spain won comprehensively, in a rare way

The Spanish team ended the EURO perfectly with 7 wins. Of these, coach Fuente and his team only had to play extra time in 1 match, and all 6 remaining matches were settled within 90 official minutes.

" Spain won the EURO with confidence growing with each game. This is the kind of victory I have rarely seen in history. A complete victory.

The players played tirelessly. I know they will train even harder as European champions. They should feel proud of themselves, proud of the generation of players who have just made history with Spain. My students still have a long way to go," the 60-year-old coach proudly said.

Coach de la Fuente congratulates Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal on the podium.

The first goal against England is a representative image of the future generation of the Spanish national team. Lamine Yamal (17 years old) passed the ball to Nico Williams (22 years old) who finished past Jordan Pickford. The most satisfied person was probably coach Luis de la Fuente.

He has been coaching Spain’s youth teams since 2013 and knows every player in his squad well. At the time, Yamal was just six years old, while Nico Williams was 11.

Once considered an unknown coach, Luis de la Fuente left a clear tactical mark at his first EURO. He used young, enthusiastic players as the core, pursuing a style of play rich in speed and physicality. Short passes following the "Tiki-Taka" philosophy were almost absent in Germany.

"I tried to present my ideas. The players also found them reasonable and applied them on the pitch. We were more unpredictable. Spain still controlled, but in a multi-dimensional way. We also changed states quickly thanks to our fast players .

"My players did almost nothing wrong during the tournament. They brought values ​​beyond the victories on the pitch. Each player played well together, played a different role, like a miniature society," said coach Luis de la Fuente.

Spain 2-1 England.

Spain defeated many "tough" opponents on the way to the title. They beat Croatia and Italy in the group stage, keeping a clean sheet. In the knockout stage, "The Bulls" defeated hosts Germany in the quarter-finals, France in the semi-finals and England in the final.

These are all opponents in the top 15 of the FIFA rankings. Spain also became the greatest team in EURO history with 4 championships, surpassing Germany (3 EUROs) right on Die Mannschaft's home field.
