Spain National Team EURO 2021 – All Important Information

Spain is looking forward to, once again, repeating their major success when they won 2 European championships, in 2008 and 2012. They’ll have a difficult task overcoming all the obstacles of Group E, which is considered to be one of the most difficult groups in the EURO 2021 championship. The National Team of Spain will fight against Sweden, Poland, and Slovakia at home, in Seville. Their camp will be located in Las Rozas de Madrid. 

This time, they’re attacking under the guidance of the famous football manager Luis Enrique who was responsible for the Champions League title of Barcelona. He’ll definitely know how to help his team reclaim the crown that eluded them in 2016. The team is confident enough to win this year’s title. 

Football Manager of the Spain National Team

Luis Enrique, known as one of the most successful Spanish football managers in history, is currently coaching the Spain National Team. He has gained rich experience and expertise while representing both Real Madrid and Barcelona Football Clubs in the period between 1991 and 2004.

Enrique has spent successful years in coaching two major Spanish football clubs, alongside Roma and Celta de Vigo, and Barcelona’s senior side. Barcelona has managed to win UEFA Champions League, La Liga, Copa Del Rey, Domestic league and Cup Double titles under his command. 

Even though he resigned from the job in June 2019, he was re-appointed later that year, which was the best thing for the Spain National Team, since he’ll definitely know what to do with the squad in order to triumph once again, after their last success at Euro 2021. 

Spain Possible Lineup for the European Championship

When it comes to the possible lineup of the Spain National Team for the EURO 2021 Championship, we can probably expect to see the famous, flat 4-3-3 formation in the tournament. Predicting the Spain lineup is almost a mission impossible, since there are a lot of quality players and numerous options for Luis Enrique to pick from. 

Despite the fact that it’s not easy to predict all the names of the final squad, there are some obvious guesses, starting with the goalkeeper De Gea. In defence, we can expect to see Pau Torres, Azpilicueta, Laporte and Gaya. 

Rodri, Pderi, Koke might be the final choice of the midfielders, while Oyarzabal, Alvaro Morata and Ferran Torres could be in the front lines. 

The Key Player of the Spain National Team

It’s hard to point out which player of the Spanish National Team is the best one so far. But, if we need to pick the best of the best. We could all agree that the captain Sergio Ramos is the best one. He is a Real Madrid legend. Nevertheless, since he is suffering an injury, he will be out of the squad. Laporte is going to replace him.

We can expect to see amazing performance on the field by the talented Rodri who could bring his team huge success in the upcoming clashes. 

The Full Squad of the Spain National Team

Goalkeepers: Unai Simón (Athletic), Robert Sánchez (Brighton & Hove Albion), David de Gea (Manchester United)

Defenders: Pau Torres (Villarreal), Diego Llorente (Leeds United), José Gayà (Valencia), Eric García (Manchester City), Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City), César Azpilicueta (Chelsea)

Midfielders: Ferran Torres (Manchester City), Thiago Alcántara (Liverpool), Rodri (Manchester City), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Koke (Atlético), Marcos Llorente (Atlético), Adama Traoré (Wolves), Dani Olmo (Leipzig), Fabián Ruiz (Napoli), Pablo Sarabia (Paris)

Forwards: Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad), Gerard Moreno (Villarreal), Álvaro Morata (Juventus), Pedir (Barcelona)

Tactics & Form of the Spain National Team for the EURO 2021

We can expect to see midfielders dominating the ball and driving it forward to the wingers who have been playing under the command of Luis Enrique for a long period of time so far. Enrique advocates an uncomplicated style of play. He puts his hopes in his wingers who are unpredictable and hard to stop against almost any team they encounter on the field. 

The form of the team has been very good from the start, since they’ve managed to achieve an astonishing record through the qualifying group. The team has managed to score 31 goals, and concede 5. Even though they’ve lost against Ukraine, they ended 2020 with the amazing win against Germany with the result of Spain 6-0 Germany. They kicked off WC qualifying with a draw with Greece, and then managed to win against Georgia and Kosovo, which gave them more confidence for the upcoming matches in EURO 2021.

Despite the fact that Spain’s National Team isn’t among the favorites, they still have a chance to prove their amazing tactics and performance on the field. Perhaps the best thing we can expect is that Spanish players will be fighting like lions and giving their best to regain the admiration of the whole world as they once had more than decade ago.
