Rodri!
Ayberix!
They are able to dominate possession in such a way that they almost keep it away from the other team long enough for them to almost have their brains fried.
And I think that's what happened to France.
This is a process from the Spanish Soccer Federation that runs through schools, that runs through academies for a very young age, that everyone plays this way of playing, which is ball possession first, this kind of hypnotic passing system.
You just kind of boom, boom, boom, the ball being passed from player to player.
keeping the opposition away and getting your objective that way.
There was a famous soccer manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
His team, Manchester United, played in the Champions League final against Barcelona, the birthplace of this modern style of play the Spanish are showing.
And he said after his team lost, once you get on that carousel, it's hard to get off, i.e.
his team were being led a merry dance.
Yeah, and sometimes I would subscribe to that school of thought.
It's not particularly thrilling to watch.
And for Spain, it's interesting.
They've had two periods.
They had this early period where this was on the ascendancy, where they wowed the world with this.
What I'm talking about is when they won the European Championship in 2008, then their first World Cup in 2010, and then the European Championship again in 2012.
They were the supreme team, the dominant team of world football about a generation ago.
Yeah, and then they hit a lull because it ended up with them just passing the ball around, the other teams defending deep, and kind of nothing happening because they couldn't actually find a way to make all those passes, those metronomic passes, turn into capital, into goals.
Well, yeah.
