With Del Bosque following the teachings of Josep Guardiola in the Spanish national team, the former Barcelona coach came out in the open to defend the Spanish coach’s tactics.
Spain were crowned as champions of Europe back in 2008, then they managed to win the FIFA World Cup in 2010 and now they have yet again won another Euro, carving their names in the history books and becoming the only team managing to accomplish such a feat.
Vicente Del Bosque’s men were expected to do wonders during this European campaign and they lived up to their expectations after they won the final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, and won the tournament.
Throughout the competition, Spain were criticized for their tactics as they were not scoring a lot of goals, passed the ball around a little too much and also they played without a striker.
Spain played mostly like Josep Guardiola’s Barcelona, who believed in the passing philosophy knows as the tiki-taka style-of-play.
Del Bosque also introduced the ‘false 9’ role given to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 team. However, in Spain, Cesc Fabregas was the player who was following the role of the Argentinean star.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 facing heavy criticism throughout the competition, Josep Guardiola came out in the open to defend Vicente Del Bosque as the Spanish coach was mostly implying the former Barcelona manager’s tactics.
Guardiola backed Del Bosque by stating how he has helped Spain reach three major finals, and the former Barcelona man believes that is a feat which is extremely hard to accomplish.
Speaking about Spain’s achievements, Guardiola said:
"Reaching three major finals in four years is an achievement that will not be matched."
Josep Guardiola also spoke about the ‘false 9’ role, and said:
''Playing with or without a centre forward will be the same for Spain."
While defending http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque, Josep Guardiola said:
"The team is in good hands and Vicente del Bosque is the best coach possible for the Spanish team. Other players can score goals from deep."
Spain are now the only team in history who have managed to win two consecutive European titles.
