Reflecting on his success, Del Bosque revealed that he believes in three P’s of success, that centres around pressing for the ball, hogging possession and being profound when going forward.
"We believe in what are called the "three P's": pressing (of the opposition to recover the ball), possession (of the ball) and profundity (in attack)," Del Bosque said while in conversation with Madrid based sports daily, AS.
"This is what we try to do in every game.”
"Luckily, this approach worked well in the final.”
"We never stop believing in our style, because it is this style which has given us success."

"The debates within football are healthy and do not bother me.”
"Amongst ourselves, the coaching staff, we also had doubts and a few arguments about this. But a decision had to be taken ... Luckily, everything turned out well."
