The real truth is. Is that the barca philosophy of tiki taka is massively overrated. Only thing tiki taka produces is possession it doesn't solve creativity or aggression in the final third its a very safe style of play. Messi made barca relevant by carrying them all these years. Spain needs an unbiased coach too. As soon as I heard de gea, ramos, thaigo & brahim diaz not being selected I knew the coach was a moron just like xavi.
We are happy
OH GOD. MIGHT AS WELL JUST APPOINT TITO SANTANA FOR THAT MATTER. DIDN'T EXPECT IT COULD GET WORSE. REALLY DE LA FUENTE WHO ??!
He did such a great job that he could only manage to beat one team at the World Cup but if Spain want to win again they need an unbiased coach & a new style of play & you are nuts if you think this generation is so ahead of that generation that won everything that's not true at all none of these player's come close to that squad
As a fan of real Madrid Spain should change their game, they play a lot of boring football
Rafa Benitez should be the next Spain manager. I think he provides a far more balanced approach to football with a more direct, high energy football style.
He always had an eye for good strikers like Mista, Miguel Angulo, Vicente for the legendary Valencia team. He poached Djibril Cisse, Dirk Kuyt, Morientes, Fernando Torres and even Peter Crouch for Liverpool. He utilizes the number 9 forwards really well and as you can see from his purchases he needed a striker to be fast and pacy and also be able to command aerial ability to head in goals.
Bring Ernesto Valverde.
Where is Marcelino ???
Barcelona will hire him
They should appoint Pep but he's a Catalan and he probably hates Spain too. That's a nice scenario though.
There was a glaring lack of attacking creativity in the Maroc match—which can happen. But losing to Japan, drawing w/ a fading Germany, then the damp squib penalties against Maroc. It’s hard to make a case for Enrique 🤷🏾♂️
Spain biggest mistake was to sack julen lopetegui Before the last world cup because he was going to madrid after… That team was flying at that point.
Peccato
Torres game gone 😂
Why not bring in the Italian coach to Spain and see what happens?
Good. This is the most deserving dismissal of a coach/manager since Urban Meyer. I've never seen a worse in-game performance from a manager in terms of just plain disengagement. He essentially left his post. Having the players choose who is taking penalties and then going and sitting all by himself, not even really watching what was happening- unbelievable. He apparently did not want to be there, let alone manage, and now he's not there.
Imagine if Pep was Spains Manager…
Stop comparing Pedri and Gavi and such kids to legendary Iniesta and Xavi etc. These are no way like them. This only puts younger players under pressure.
Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Casillas, Villa etc. were once in a lifetime players, and no such generation is coming…get over it already.
they won’t appreciate luis until late
He didn't get fired noob
Ancelotti would be a good fit for Spain
Espn fc please fire this guy with all due respect hes a liability he looks uninterested hes face is always in a bad mood maybe thats the way he looks bring someone else he don’t deserve being out there honestly 🥱
Luis Enrique said he trusted Barca Players 😼
TBF Luis de la Fuente has coached and won trophies with Spanish youth teams. Spain U19
UEFA European Under-19 Championship: 2015[15]
Spain U21
UEFA European Under-21 Championship: 2019[17]
Spain U23
Summer Olympics silver medal: 2020
He has worked with the likes of Gavi and Pedri on youth level already.
Emery would have been interesting option.
He's an organizational placeholder
Not surprising at all. Poor player selection, old outdated style of play.
Tiki taka TKO
With Luis Enrique, it was bad from the start. I would give Luis de la Fuente the benefit of the doubt. Let's results speak for themselves.
Pep is the only person that could make difference. He supported Catalan independence from Spain, but at this point who cares. He's achieved IMMENSE success in different periods of time with different teams at the most elite levels … But yeah, let's go with de la fuente bc he coached the junior kids and has zero world cup or elite experience
The best decision that rubiales has made for the first time in his presidency . Luis Enrique for some reason had totally disenengaged with the team he was live streaming every night from qatar during the tournament instead of viewing his opponents or other teams , during training he would sometimes just sit there and let his assistants give instructions . During the Morocco game he made some strange decisions taking off williams who came on as a sub in the 2nd half and was the only spanish player offering great oportunities to score gets replaced by sarabia the other glaring thing from LE during that match was he half writes a list with 3 names only tosses the list to captain busquets and says here you lot can decide
the other 2 walks back to his dugout and sits there during the shoot out plus he had divided many fans with his selection for this WC leaving out 5 in form players who i feel would have offered something different to spain so his sacking or leaving has made a lot of fans relieved
Luis Enrique mistaken Spain for Barcelona.
