Spain 2012 team formation

Spain produced their best their performance in euro 2012 and win the final with ease after they beat prandelli italy 4-0.Coached by vicente del bosque who was opted to play without a striker and choose cesc fabregas as a false number nine instead.And with their intricate tiki taka passing style and ball possesion play,the opponent really had tough times against spain.With 'Saint' iker guarding the post,pique and ramos in the centerback,jordi alba who could play like a striker in a left back position,busquets and alonso' carrying the piano' in the center of midfield,xavi as a playmaker,iniesta,silva and fabregas in attack,these player could exchange their positions at will during game and that was the concept of total football created by johan cruyff.

Vicente del Bosque

A dutch maestro cruyff was a manager at barcelona and he has an idea how the football should be played.Barcelona adopt a cruyff total football playing style during his time until this day.And with a barca player like pique,alba,busquets,xavi,iniesta and fabregas in the starting eleven,coach del bosque didn't change much and spain played exactly like barcelona did.Cruyff philosophy that opponent couldn't score if we have the ball thing certainly on this spanish players mind because they played possesion football throughout the tournament.Spain had owing much to cruyff for his revolutionary ideas that bring benefit to the national side.Don't forget that they still have great talents like pedro,juan mata,jesus navas,santi cazorla,fernando torres and fernando llorente who was sitting on the bench and that they could come out anytime and change the game.They also have two great goalie in victor valdes and pepe reina.

THE FINAL VERDICT

Football had come a long way since 1970,back then,it was different era with different generation of players,and we are now in the millenium age and football had really evolved technically and tactically.But we can make a comparison between brazil 1970 and spain 2012.My verdict is Spain 2012 should come out on top of brazil 1970.These spanish side is much much superior than the brazillians side.Pele and brazil 1970 certainly didn't have any chance at all.It's time to move on,football has move on and we had to move on.We can't stuck in the past anymore.Time for the old man pele to finally accept the fact that, actually spain 2012 team that should be carrying the greatest ever team title.R.I.P Brazil 1970.
