So, with the squads all announced how do you think the team will line up? 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 and 4-diamond-2 have all been spoken about but which do you think will incorporate as much talent as possible while still providing versatility?
Here's my opinion, feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong.
jeb_springfield,
It's a pleasure to me to discuss the tactics of the enourmous team SPAIN.
In my opinion your vision is very close to the "real" one. For me the real tactic is the one that really matters. Looking at your scheme, Puyol and Pique will change their positions and will play most of the time as in Barça: Puyol, centre-left and Pique, centre-right. I don't be surprised if Del Bosque will prefer the marking and contention skills of Arbeloa instead of the uncover risk produced by a more offensive Capdvilla. In the midfield, there is only a place to Alonso: the holding zone, a defensive midfielder, according to his positional style, never as centre-left(or right) midfielder, where he has to exhibit more tilt actions. Fabregas is a good choice to play on the same line of Xavi, interchanging their positions, even with Iniesta too. What a fabulous midfield! In attack I'm with you. Any doubt? Of Course not. Torres and Villa will break the oponent defensive lines. I'm expecting POETRY FOOTBALL!
Spain started against Poland exactly like this and trashed them 6-0. It's almost scary to watch them, they look like they have capability to beat anyone single handedly.
