Maybe the semis
Their high position game means just one bad game in the knock out they are out
Nico Williams had me clasping my frontal cortex in astoundment.
frontal lobe
Barca, after his performance: Oh, God! Get Olmo right now!!
Spainâs ability to win the ball back so quickly was impressive
his adaptation and biceps are top notch spain are huge favourites now
And he is 63 years old. đ
yeah, Fuente's biceps do look amazing
surely key to the side's performance, singlehandedly lifting the squad to new heights
Spain has been a very refreshing squad to watch. I didn't think they would be this good, because on paper the squad wasn't on the level of the other candidates (France, Germany, England), but these two matches have shown that they are serious contenders to win the tournament.
Great managing does make a difference, just ask England.
but never count germany out tho especially when Nagelsmann is in there
@@Browne7100 the reality is it wasn't
the English tend to overrate the heck out of their players just like they do with the prem, its not just the manager.
@@johnlau6749 I'm not. Nagelsmann IS the best manager in this tournament, if mid game changes need to be done, he will provide the best changes. Germany is one of the biggest candidates to win, along with France and now you can add Spain to the top three
England should fire that useless coach immediately and bring in Thomas Tuchel to finish the EUROS otherwise England is going nowhere. I don't know why they're have held on to that coach for so long after so many humiliations.
Fabian Ruiz was a joy in this match as an upcoming midfielder i learnt alot from him in this match
He is so tidy on the ball and has a brillaint left foot aswell
Not many enthusiastically put Spain up there as pre tournament favourites.
The way this Spain side is setup provides multiple threats for an opponent to think about. If it's not the left flank with Williams, it's the right side with Yamal. Not to mention both Cucurella and Carvajal comfortable putting in crosses like wingbacks as well.
If it's not the wide areas, the first goal against Croatia demonstrated the threat of through passes from any one of Rodri, Ruiz and Pedri to the striker. All three can score from long shots as well.
It's like having a computer with multiple problem solving solutions.
no wonder, people make opinions outside Real Madrid and Barça without really any knowledge, just as they make opinion on the other two based on what they hear rather than what they observe
Spain has been super impressive, what is crazy is that I donât feel like their opposition played poorly, they just arenât good enough as a team to compete with Spain. Obviously you never know whatâll happen but from the first two games they look amazing
We played very, very poorly. It's ok to suffer against Spain but Spalletti just failed to see what was predictable, leaving Di Marco and Di Lorenzo helpless against two rapid wingers was idiotic. They're just not quick enough and he should have protected them with a three men defence, giving them freedom to attack the sides and offer the midfield some choice other than trying to link up vertically in the middle, wich they failed to do because of easy pressing. Moreover, a lot of our players just are better suited to a back three defence since they play like that in clubs. I think Spain looked better because of us, they're already so good and we didn't have any plan to counter them.
Yamal and Nico are going to become a force to be reckoned with in the near future for Spain.
williams and yamal gave me lowkey some robben Ribéry vibes
Because you don't know more wingers than those 2 đ€Š
They're definitely the closest duo of wings we have right now to them
Spains tactics against croatia were also spot on ..nullified the midfield and a high press caught Croatia off guard, cracked us, the second half Croatia had more posseti n and shors, but too lateSpainnadapted again and defended brilliant... they will go far in this tournament, we had the misfortune of drawing the current, .... and future.... euro champs in our group.... đđđ
As I see in the thumbnail, The triangle is an element of the now-obsolete Tiki-taka, positioning and spacing are also still there. But the only element of Tiki-taka that we no longer see is the short and quick passing which is the most notable element of it. Spain now adapts the long ball while maintaining the spacing and positioning elements of the Tiki taka
A few short passes, then a longer one onto the striker or wingers.
@@jonatanolsen37 Now it's reverse Longer passes then short passes
Tbh I really wanted to see how Spain would play when they had the ball compared to the Croatia game where Croatia had the ball, and yes they blew me away, they played with purpose and moved the ball quickly to their wingers to cause havoc which they did. They are flexible in the middle, monsters on the flanks and good at the back coz they dealt well with Italy's counter. I see them having a great tournament if they keep playing like this.
But am scared in the next game they won't be having rodri, I don't know how they will handle that coz he got a yellow card, the good thing is that they have already went to next level so it won't be a too much needed game
Spain is my favourite team in this competition. Only they play the football which is enjoyable and they create a lot of possession.
Germany is better than them
3:32 - ads done correctly. Good job, mate, with the video as well!
It's clear that the two strongest contenders are Germany and Spain
This Spain is fun to watch.. Better than the old tiki taka passing till death Spain..
This Spain is a lot more direct..
Fun game to watch. Lots of fouls looked soft in terms of physical plays, but Referees had whistles stuck on their mouths as well.
Spain playing free flow football â€
England meanwhile⊠đđ
We are not surprised South Gate is very tactically inept for that England team
Ruiz, player of the tournament so far maybe. Been so good
Spain was so good, they could have demolished Italy at least 4 or 5-0, Germany and Spain has been the most impressive sides in my opinion, heavy favourites to win this Euros by now.
They only had 1.6 xg they wouldve done well to score 4 goals from that
@@TheRealPingu that don't tell all the story, they had very good goalscoring opportunities and played much better, their goal even came from a 0 xg so I believe they could score more.
What I find interesting about this Spain is how relatively few players from Barcelona and Real are in the Squad compared to the Golden Era
And that there are so many players from the Basque clubs
The side may be dominated by Barca players soon; they are trying to sign Nico Williams, two of Barca's young players are injured, and Pau Cubarsi looks like he'll be ready to challenge for a starting spot. That's potentially six out of ten outfield players by 2026.
Oh yeah I remember the days when David Silva was the only non Real/Barca player in the eleven.
â@abhijiththampi Spain won the first Eurocup with 3 Barcelona players only (David Villa Stiller was a Valencia player)
Casillas, Capdevilla, Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Silva, Cazorla, Juan Mata etc
You have no idea what are you speaking about.
@@LLULL-yn1rrJuan Mata was not in that squad mate
@@Youafool500 It doesn't matter, he did it later.
Germany v Spain is gonna be top notch
so this is what a tactically adept manger (bonus points for the biceps) can achieve with quality players. what a dream for all us English fans.
With these truly elite sides you don't remember how much they actually lost the ball as they win it back instantly 70% of the time. A good rest defense means you can be much braver on the ball
Spalletti made lots (and I mean lots) of wrong decisions:
1) Playing with 4-men defence line: (i) Di Lorenzo had a terrible season and his strenghts are more offensive than defensive; (ii) Darmian, Bastoni and Buongiorno are used to play in 3-men lines, so it takes less time to adjust the mechanisms; (iii) Di Marco playing as full back instead of wing back takes a lot out of his game and exposes his defensive frailities
2) Midfield selection was also terrible: (i) Pellegrini has no work rate, so Rodri was almost always free to dictate play; (ii) Frattesi is a box to box, not a playmaker. Thus, his skills were not required for this game, which required composure on the ball to defuse spanish excellent pressing off the ball; (iii) Cristante's best season was at Atalanta, playing as a box to box midfielder. I never understood why he is often deployed deep back, even as a centre back. Barella is a great all around midfielder but cant assume all the build up; he needs Jorginho and Verratti.
Italy need a Gattuso to release the more technical midfielders and shield the defence, or yet another Verratti who can complete a technical line along with Jorginho and Barella.
It was both a perfect game from Spain and a terrible game from Italy. A perfect storm
Most creative Ad right theređ
Italy wasnât bad,Spain was just too good.The fluidity of their game was unreal.
i think that more than spain adaptability, the issue has been italy's lack of ability to do so.
counteracting spain was gonna be difficult, but spalletti didn't even try at the start, putting the same exact team with the same exact formation..like he was sure that spain would have to fear italy and not viceversa
You're just getting better and better at thumbnails, love it
Everyone saw the potential of de la Fuente at the Olympics, but I didn't expect the bomb that dropped when he played Nations. That's where I realised Spain had upgraded from Luis Enrique, who did a good job btw, semis in Euro and final in Nations.
De la Fuente is basically Enrique with more effective penetration.
correction: De la Fuente is Enrique with big biceps
SAME this is what I thought too. I'm so happy they sacked Enrique
de la fuente is Enrique, but doesnt mind if he doesnt have 60% possession lol
As an italian i needed to shower after that game and I'm still scared to leave the house. It's much better now after the Croatia game but i'm still traumatized
Portugal analysis please ?
Noooooo
I see Spain in the final
This year is Spain, Germany, or France đ
Could you do a series on how the best players in every position (first video on goalkeepers, second on central defenders ecc.) play differently and the systems they are most suited to?
The ad break was really good
I think spain is gonna win the euro
Great idea on how to add the ad on the the video
Classy introđ
Thank you for what you do! You make watching and coaching football better đđ»
Congrats on a new sponsor
Surprised England v Denmark not mentioned in your videos was looking forward to it
Instead of trying to play like Spain, Italy should've been more direct, playing runs in behind, trying to take more shots from outside the box and play more crosses into the box. To cause aerial threats. Which would've caused damage. Chiesa has the pace and Scamacca has the height. Pellegrini, Cristante, Jorginho have the ablity to shoot from far. Instead of thinking about being patient with the ball. Italy should have been more direct and opportunistic like classic italian teams.
Kindly make video about Portugal tactics too for this euros
Yamal, Williams, Doku, Bakayoko... Traditional Wingers are making a comeback! đđż
Why de la Fuente built like that đđ
I read that as "Adoption is king"
Adaptation is probably less controversial
Just noticed de la Fuente's huge guns, wish we got him at Barca
Spain and Germany are the most fun teams to watch rn.
Amongst the teams who have won the WC, Spain and Germany are doing well
Hi men thanks for your great work and I have questions do you think this Spanish team can beat Didier Deschamps France as we all know dechemps is one of the best international coachs in last 12 years?
see who play the cards right
@@Browne7100 the question was clearly dedicated to the video creator which I assume is a man based on the voice. Obviously he made a mistake with the plural but not too much problem there Iâd say
I loved Spain but I could tell Italy had one of the worst days when it comes to offensive plays and this Italian team can pass. So I'm not sure what happened. They could barely get 3 passes in a row right, multiple times the second pass was garbage. The first touch was in most occasions awful, a lot worst than it usually is, etc. I know Spain has the better side but hopefully this is not the Italy we'll see against Croacia or they will be out. I hope they make it to the knockout stages where Italy usually performs better than expected...and again, loved this Spain!
Bro what's up with these botsđ
I love this channel ahhhh
Here's a manager who actually knows a thing or two about tactics, and how to play to his players' strengths! *Cough* England *cough* . Ahem, excuse me.
you forgot to add Italyâs in possession
Italys back 3 got pressed by spain's front 3 and they hoofed it long. That's all
What is the best position for Dani olmo he's really good
Can you make these videos on every matchday, please?
call yourself a tactics channel and not talking about Germany and Austria is a crime. Need videos on these teams.
hindsight makes everything simple.
if you have better players, you can win. In coaching style there are coaches who give responsibility to players (Ancellotti and apparently the Spain coach) and system coaching (Pep, Arteta) who give players little responsibility. Kudus to Spain, the team and the staff.
The Athletic said it âlooked like Man City at home v. Burnleyâ.
Spain will win the tournament, but it will be another thrilling final with France
What about England?
Nico Williams & Yamine Lamal thatâs all I have to say. Lamal is just 16, a high ceiling. Very good the both of them yesterday. Plus 50 million release clause for Williams btw. Teams should be all over it.
Vasque player are vasque players he might not leave his team.
@@Tinoyevski weâll see money talks in football. đđŸ
â@@nathanbrownornbthe guy even rejected real Madrid when they wanted him
@@edsonmawalla4203 things can change in football
España es la belleza del fĂștbol en estado puro. Italia se salvĂł literalmente de una goleada de escĂĄndalo. De momento España ha demostrado ser la mejor selecciĂłn, con mucha diferencia, de la Eurocopa. âïžđȘđžđȘđžđȘđžđȘđžđȘđžđ
Gracias. Saludos.
can we get austria team anayalis
Only Two games of the Euro so far, come now man.
Iâm impressed with the VPN shutout, didnât expect it
Spain đȘđž đ€đŸđ€đŸđŻ
It's important to get Cucurella's name right. He is SpanishđȘđž, not Italian, so his name is pronounced CUCURE âLLAâ and NOT CUCURE âLAâ. It's not that difficult to get it right!
can u pls make an mbappe vid
This is pbb the first time this channel outright spread misinformation. Fuenteâs biceps are fu***king impressive. Spain would have lost without them.
You can put a crippled as the sole centre-back if you have Nico Williams and Amin Yamal as wingers.
What a brilliant advertisement đ
Its tactical loss for spalleti. he played cristante and di lorenzo thats bad at man mark
Romania vs ukraine next video
Fms
De la Fuente and Spalleti, separated at birthđ
Croatia on the other hand exposed all the weaknesses of the spanish team. They were only wasteful in front of goal. Ironic: Italy should have lost 3-0 and Croatia deserved much better than what they git
Spalletti was krezi to put dilorenzo there..
đđ„
all these analysis made it seem like spain won the game 6-0. they won by 1-0 bcoz of an own goal. thats how close the game actually was bcoz of donnaruma. but yeah italy were outclassed. like utd against barca
Warra introđ
đ lmaooo
What ?
This is how Barcelona would be playing Next season
Spain will Win Euro24
Del la Fuente ten out of ten
Spalletti Zero
Germany đ©đȘ is winning đđđ
Spain needs to work on their finishingâŠ
Only if they could finish chances, they would be real contender.
And this is the real problem with Germany as well, they are not lethal. Possession wise they are all brilliant teams
3 goals to Croatia
They wont make it past quaterfinals
this not italy at all spaghetti failed to counteract
I wouldn't praise Spain after this game, if you actually look at the game right, Spain should realize they have lots of problems, they won cause Italy played horribly, and I mean it was amateur hour, yet they struggle to find target and spaces, at this stage of the game legs and minds are fresh, it only gets worse, and I suspect if they would play against Germany or even the Netherlands tomorrow they would lose by 2-3 goals. Again they struggled to get an (og) goal from a team of players that are not really the high stars Italy was know for
â@@Browne7100 Man looked at the score sheet and called it a day
@@Browne7100 scoring opportunities means nothing, it counts also against whom you are playing, if you play against kids, do you get excited to win..no insane possession and 0 conversion...yeah amazing, maybe you should take the fun-boy glasses off and see without the hype
â@@GoingGaming86 Spain beats Croatia ,then Croatia is finished wait till they play Italy, Spain plays Italy ohh Italy played a bad game. When are you going to realise how good Spain is đ đ
ââ@@GoingGaming86Croatia and Italy are both kids?? U really are a dumbass. U say netherlands will beat spain. Wake up dude.
You're so delusional It's not funny
For a relatively good coach, Spalletti got completely outclassed. Italy definitely doesnât have the same caliber of players as this Spain side, but they shot themselves in the foot by trying to play their game instead of planning to counter Spainâs tactical setup. A three man backline wouldâve been a better setup with a false 9 in Chiesa to try to compete and close spaces in the midfield wouldâve been a better setup (if Italy had the technical know how to play like that, of course). Leave Scamacca out, Play Bastoni, Calafiori and Darmian (or Mancini but I think Damianâs experience and intelligence would be an asset) as a back three. Then bellanova and Dimarco on the wings, and a diamond in the middle of Cristante and Barella playing box to box and supporting the width if the wingbacks get wide, Jorginho sitting back in front of the defenders cutting passing lanes, and throw in Pellegrini at the top with Chiesa having room to roam. Definitely not the best offensive setup, but will 100% be able to thrive on the counters and have enough juice defensively to shut down Spain.
