Since Vicente Del Bosque will be facing a lot of difficulties, let’s see what might be his favourite possible line-up when Spain play their first game in Euro 2012
The Spanish national side are not only the European, but also the world champions at the moment.
La Furia Roja won Euro back in 2008 when a goal by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 helped the Spaniards take the trophy home.
Two years into the future, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757.
The Spanish national team, full of star players, was favourite to win the international tournament taking place in Africa, and they made sure that they do justice to their favourites tag as they found the right form at the right time and a goal for Andres
Iniesta, against Netherlands, was enough to seal a victory in the final.
The Spanish national team took a slow start in the FIFA World Cup 201’s campaign. The European champions were to play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 as their first opponents and despite being favourites to win the World Cup, the Spanish national side slumped to a defeat and
the whole world was left shocked.
However, after that loss, the Spanish national side did just enough to stay into the tournament and even though the rest of the games won by Vicente Del Bosque’s men ended in quite a narrow score-line, including the matches against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 and
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753.
While the Spanish national team found it hard to score goals with David Villa on song, the absence of the attacking maestro will be gravely missed. Moreover, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 out, Del Bosque is not only going to face selection crises in the final third;
in fact, it will be hard for him to find a prolific goal scorer like the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 man.
Moreover, this year, the Spanish national side will also be without the services of their first-choice centre-back, Carles Puyol. The Catalan captain suffered an injury towards the end of the season and with his knee problems reignited, it is going to be
hard for the defender to play in this year’s edition of international European competition.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque is going to go through a few selection crises.
Other problems for the Spanish coach will include the over-crowded midfield. The Spaniard is accustomed to playing a 4-2-3-1 formation which helped them win the FIFA World Cup 2010. However, this time it is not going to be easy for Del Bosque to form a similar
formation as he has a lot of other players at his disposal and the squad has changed in a lot of ways.
Therefore, it is going to be hard for the Spanish mentor to play a side with a perfect 4-2-3-1. That is going to mean that he will have to play two players who can play in an attacking-wing position; somewhat like Andres Iniesta. And he is going to try and
play one attacking midfielder behind the striker.
However, the Spanish national team’s game-play revolves around the midfield and their passing game; therefore, keeping Xavi Hernandez out of the equation is going to be almost impossible.
Even with Xavi playing in the first team, inclusion of Andres Iniesta and Busquets will also be very vital.
