[edit This paragraph]Team Profile

With such a perfect opportunity for the Spaniards to not become the favorite to win the championship are difficult, although the 2009 Confederations Cup lost to the United States team did not qualify for the final, but an unexpected loss will not affect the morale of the Spanish team, in the top 32 odds to win the championship, they are tied for first with Brazil, became the biggest favorite to win the Cup. The current Spanish team has formed a system with goalkeeper Casillas, midfielder Harvey and striker Villa as the central axis. Defense Spain will basically follow the same staff configuration when they won the European Championship two years ago, only Barcelona's new star Piqué rose quickly and gradually replaced the main Marchena. Midfield Barcelona's two stars Harvey and Iniesta will continue to sit, Villarreal star Sena, Real Madrid back Alonso will occupy the back position, playing in the Arsenal team's core Cesc Fabregas fear will continue to serve as the main replacement, the staffing is reasonable, there is almost no weakness. Front line main force will also be Valencia shooting king Villa and Liverpool striker Torres, qualifiers, Villa played 7 times scored 7 goals, the king of the shooter's true colors. And Real Madrid captain Raúl in has been a long time no national team, two years ago the success of the European Cup also proved that the Spanish team really no longer need him, Raúl will be the same as the Brazilian team's Ronaldo, down to South Africa's World Cup spectators.

[edit]World Cup history

What's the best record in World Cup history for today's hugely popular matadors? You may find it hard to believe, but Spain's tournament weakness was on full display at the World Cup, where their best result on this stage was only the last eight. Spain has reached the last 8 of the World Cup four times, in 1934, 1986, 1994 and 2002. Leaving aside the first World Cup which was a long time ago, in the last two decades, the Spanish team has always given people the impression of being the "king of qualifiers", and they have not missed a World Cup since 1962, but they have never reached the semi-finals. In 1986, Spain swept Denmark, who had an excellent group stage record, 5-1 in the 1/8 finals, but in the subsequent quarter-finals, they fell to the red devil Belgium on penalties; in the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the classic battle between Spain and Italy remains fresh in our minds, with Dino Baggio's goal giving the Blueshirts the lead. Although Caminero's goal once helped the Matildas to equalize the score, but unfortunately Italy also has Robert Baggio, the Prince of Apennine melancholy in the final moments of the game broke the goal, once again the Spaniards blocked out of the quarterfinals; 2002 is the most unfortunate time for the Spanish team, they are in the quarterfinals of the 120 minutes with the hosts of South Korea into a 0-0 draw, penalty shootout in the 3-5 loss to help the Asian The 3-5 loss on penalties helped the Asians pull off the miracle of reaching the quarterfinals of the World Cup. In the 2006 World Cup, Spain sailed through the group stage winning all their matches, but in the 1/8 finals they ran into France, who barely made it out of the group, and although Villa's penalty kick helped Spain take the lead, the French then scored three goals to put Spain outside the last eight.

[Edit]History

The core of the classical era--Luis Suarez

A talented player from Galicia, the core of Spain's offense in the three tournaments of 62-64-66. Suarez achieved great success and dazzling results in both club and national teams. During the period of Barcelona and Inter Milan, he was the core of the team's attack, helping Barcelona to win the league title twice and enter the final of the Champions League in '61, and then transferring to Inter Milan to become a representative of the big international era, winning the Serie A title three times and the Champions League title twice. In the national team he helped Spain win the Euro 64, when his arm was injured and bandaged, so his running and balance were affected, but still showed great skill in ball control and precise delivery. He was at the center of the team's attacking system, and his dribbling and passing pulled Amancio, Marcelino, and Pereda to help Spain win the tournament. In the chaos and lack of organization of the game at the time, he showed a sense of awareness and skill that gave a feeling of being ahead of his time. To this day he remains the only Hispanic player to have won the Ballon d'Or. Zamora Vazquez-Caminero-Veleron were all key figures in a period of Spanish soccer history, but Suarez's influence as Spain's only homegrown Ballon d'Or winner is something they have struggled to match.

The 'Pirri' who saved Spain - Jose Sanchez

During the ice age between '66 and '78, when Spain missed five consecutive major tournaments, Pirri was a glimmer of light in the midst of the bleakness of the team. In 15 years with Real Madrid, he won an incredible 10 La Liga titles. He was the only world-class player in Spain in that era. The man from the Mediterranean throat Ceuta has a kind of innate superhuman consciousness and leadership temperament, 65 years just started his career in Real Madrid was soon entrusted with the responsibility of the team's free man, he soon showed its commander-in-chief talent, to become the pivot of the team's attack and defense, guiding the team's attack at the same time, he occasionally inserted the attack is also frequently harvested goals, defense, his interceptions are also excellent, relying on excellent positional sense, he can always anticipate the danger of the team. He was always able to anticipate danger and clear it in time, and in 66 he was selected for his first World Cup and immediately became the centerpiece of the team, which went on to play in the '66 World Cup. Subsequently, Spain has not been able to get out of the tournament, as a defender, he scored an incredible 16 goals in 41 games, but in the historical low point of Spain, a shock to the end of regret, the most unfortunate is the Euro 76 play-offs, facing the legendary West German freelancer Beckenbauer, Pirie's performance is no less than the performance of the West Germany, but Spain was still eliminated by the West Germany out of the tournament, finally, in the final phase of career, Pirie led the team to the final in the World Cup in '66, he was always able to anticipate the presence of danger and clear. In the final stage, Piri led his team to beat Yugoslavia away in the 78 World Cup qualifier, after 12 years, he once again led the team to the World Cup, after this World Cup he finally said goodbye to the national team without regret.

Five major tournaments main--Jose Camacho

75 years out of the beginning of the young Camacho immediately occupy the left side of the national team, in 76 years against West Germany in the Euro Cup play-offs, the young man is not afraid, every time with the ball all the way to the opposing side of the hinterland, to become the team's attack initiated source One of them. Body - technology - awareness, are impeccable, and can even become the world's best left back, but 78 years of serious injury changed his development trajectory, after the comeback of his speed and impact can no longer be restored to the best state, but nevertheless, he still relies on superb technology and awareness, support the team's left attack and defense, become the team's left choice. At the same time, Camacho is also a versatile player, 82 World Cup he once served as a right back and back waist, 84 European Cup final, he also played center back. Camacho's significance in Spain, not only lies in the technical and tactical level, but also in the spiritual level, every minute of every game, his attitude towards the game are meticulous, silent, he is always slightly frowning, never let himself relax and slack down, and never maliciously hurt or and the referee catty, he has always been the team's model on the field, from this point of view, he deserves the Spanish! One of the best players in the history of Spain.

Vulture - Emilio Butragueno

Born in Madrid on July 22, 1963, Emilio Butragueno was told by his club that he was unfit to play when he was in Real Madrid's youth team and was sent down to Castilla (Real Madrid's relations team), but there he grew into an outstanding goal scorer. In 1984, Real Madrid called Butrague?o back into the team, where he played until 1995. Butrague?o At Real Madrid, Butrague?o and Mexican shot-stopper Hugo Sánchez formed a fearsome front line that helped the team win five consecutive La Liga titles from 1986 to 1990. Butrague?o was one of those thinking players, "How does he always show up there?!" That's what people marveled about Butragueno. In his Real Madrid career, **** gave 124 league goals. His judgment of the line and sharp tackling made him the most dangerous box-killer. In October 1984, Butrague?o broke through in his national team debut with Wales. 1986 World Cup was the stage for Butrague?o to show himself to the world, Spain easily passed through from the group, and in the match with Northern Ireland, Butrague?o broke through the door of the famous keeper Jennings in the opening just 65 seconds, which became the fastest goal of that World Cup, for which Butrague?o was also rewarded with a gold watch as a reward.
