When we think of Spanish football, we always think of the Spanish bullfighters in the period from 08 to 12 years, they won all the championships with a near-invincible posture, whether it is the European Cup or the World Cup, Spain is included, in these years, Spain has won one victory after another to let people know the pass control football, but also let people know the name of tiki-taka.
The three consecutive championships of the big tournament are the pinnacle of Spanish football, many people remember Villa, remember Iniesta, remember Torres, but behind them there is an Aragonese silently paying, many people do not know Aragonnes, just know that he is a head coach, and the impression of him is not very good, because he gave up Raul, but it is Aragonés who makes Spain stand on the top of the world, it is Aragonés who makes tiki-taka the trend, he is the founder of the Spanish Dynasty, He is also a witness to the glory of Spanish football and the father of tiki-taka.
Aragonés did not coach Spain for a long time, after the 2004 European Championship out, Aragonés resulted in a coaching whip, when Spain did not show a strong demeanor, on the contrary, there is a little bit of up and down, Aragonés wants to make Spain stronger in a short period of time, so it must be fast-paced reform, must let the team as a whole change, Spain's previous tactics mostly rely on the winger to open the situation, winger tactics are also Spain's favorite tactics, However, this tactical system is no longer suitable for today's football. Aragonés reinvented the Spanish national team with more advanced tactical concepts, seeking a more exquisite passing combination, seeking an absolute grasp of the ball, and he firmly believes that having possession is the magic weapon to have victory. This bold innovation was the key to Spain's rise and the reason why Spain was able to stand on top of the world.
In the 2006 World Cup, Spain had already shown some signs of strength, although the loss to France, but it was not a failure, on the contrary, Spain from top to bottom was very supportive of Aragonés's tiki-taka tactical system. Fast forward to 2008, that year's European Championship, Aragonés gave up many players, gave up the winger tactics, it is this abandonment, so that Iniesta and David Silva can be known to the world, but also let Aragonés stand in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.
Because he gave up Raul, it takes courage to abandon the Lord of the Rings, but Aragonese fought back against the doubts of others with one victory after another, especially after winning the championship, the praise for Aragonese was overwhelming, completely forgetting the previous taunts and forgetting the previous doubts. Unfortunately, Aragonés could not coach Spain for too long, he died many years ago, and Harvey always burst into tears when he mentioned his mentor, although the legend is gone, but tiki-taka is eternal.
