Why Spain Have The PERFECT System To Win The Euros

- Despite being largely unfancied before the tournament, Spain have swept all aside on their march to the Quarter-Finals, and now face Germany with the winner almost certain to be favourites.
But how, without their usual array of big-name stars, have they looked like Euro 2024's most accomplished team? Adam Clery looks at both the personnel and the system to show why they could go all the way.

10 England players have played more minutes than the first Spanish player in the list of ‘minutes played’ which I guess reflects the manager’s inability to properly use substitutions.
They substituted a lot in the last group match with nothing to gain or to lose…
Wow😮
@@Blckjack18could have been us too had we played attacking football
Southgate: What's meaningful substitution?
Or England are trying to find form and build cohesion which will pay off in the pressure moments
Love that you have Fabian Ruiz on the thumbnail. He's been one the best center mids in the toutnament.
Fabián Ruiz os the Best player of the tournament!
I honestly wasn’t familiar with his game
He's part of the "best player of the tournament" discussion which is heavily Spanish in orientation thus far.
10/10 for analysis.... 1//10 for pronunciation ;)
FR, as a Spaniard I was about to drop off at the beginning of the video 😂
The 'joder todo' really takes the cake.
yeah when he said “hi friends I lick myself”, lol.
@@ExitStrategy1609 British people have atrocious pronunciation of Spanish words and names in general. I'm not sure this guy is doing any better if he skips the humour.
Ajora te quehas?

Please retire this phrase
I'm now thankful to all english people that come to Spain in the holidays year after year but refuse to speak the language at all. Please keep doing that, everybody wins.
Pues la verdad es que sí, me sangró el oído con ese “joder todo”, prounciando la J como si fuese una “y”
Jajajajajaj a mi no me molesta me hace gracia y aprecio el gesto de acercarse a otra cultura
@@muysabroson Spanish chad
Williams is such an exciting player.
Spain v Germany is basically the final - they are by the far the best two teams in the tournament, and it's a real shame they have to play each other so early. I'm not sure that home advantage is quite such a big thing for the Germans; but Nagelsmann (possibly the most tactically astute coach in the tournament) and Musiala (the one player who regularly looks like he could conjure a goal from nothing) might be the difference makers. Let's hope for a great game anyway.
Germany aren't by far the best, they probably wouldn't make it out the other side of the draw
Don't sleep on France
@@mehmetvursavas5922 France have been lacking a bit
@@grimaffiliations3671 Yeah, Turkey might give them a tough time.
If England don't win (we won't), I hope Spain wins. I hoped they would win in 2010 for the same reasons I do now. They play football how I think it should be played. None of this robotic pepball, or Southgate terroristball. Just attractive, fearless, attacking football.
Sorry for this old guy question but... do all young people now refer to teams in the singular? (Eg "I hope Spain wins")
In British English, we say "I hope Spain win"
When did this change? Why? To sound more American?
Old man rant over...
@@taiko666EU English, you know
@@taiko666 Spain is singular, how many Spains do you suppose there are in the world?
Spain in 2010 were one of the worst teams to watch in World Cup history. Scored 8 goals all tournament and won every knockout game 1:0. Germany were a lot better to watch in 2010.
Couldn’t be a more deserving team to win it than Spain this Euros. Hate to see them play Germany so early cause it should really be a final. But right now I’m thinking I’d be gutted to see Spain go out.
I really hate it that they are going to face Germany. Having only one of these two (form me, thus far most interesting teams to watch) continue with the tournament is such a shame.
germany not on spains level and probably wouldn't make it out of the other side of the draw
Far too early for that.
@@grimaffiliations3671 might as well be so, but they still showed much more then most of the other teams from the other draws
@@S0L12D3 you were saying?
@@S0L12D3 👋😁 🔴🟡🔴
Spain have been by far the best team at Euro 24. Hope they win it.
Gracias , un saludo .
I think that the person who loves football sees clearly that the Spanish team is the one that currently plays the best. Logically, Spain should win, but logic in single matches does not decide, the luck factor is very important. That is, I think Spain will play better than Germany, but I don't know who will win.
spain will play better and win
Love the nonsensical literal translations to Spanish and the great football analysis.
Keep it up ❤
Le Normand has been an unsung hero, underrated
No he isn't, Pau Torres deserves it more but he's a leftie like Laporte
They're like the antithesis to England.
England's strategy is no strategy. Sit and wait for the opponent to make a mistake and crash in with Kane and Bellingham.
...and France!
Yeah but problem is, France did that yesterday with Portugal and they just weren't scoring LOL. If they play like that against Spain, we'll crush them. They need to better themselves if they want to see the finals
Laughs (nervously) in German
with reason
Spain is the best team for sure, but as you said KO tournaments are unpredictable... But they should win this
If Spain win its Rodri for Balon d’Or
If only the euro was last year
Rodri, N. Williams....
Yes to all you said in the video, and on top of all of that, Spain play fun, entertaining football that is pleasing to the eye
Viva España hostia ❤💛
Not only Adam Clery and his 442 team have excellent analytical skill but what set him apart is his presentation skills.. the script is layered brilliantly and plenty of references interlinked forth and back. The speech itself every pause every strong notes really captivates the audience. Most impressive how he delivers. Best in business bar none.
If the game was played on a neutral ground, I would favor Spain beating Germany. However being the host and always being great in penalty shootout, I’d say die Mannschaft has at least a 60% winning possibility. Good luck to both teams though!
The last time germany beat spain it was like the 80s. 太难了，我觉得无法德国打败西班牙
@@skydragon5555 Maybe this time the streak will be broken. 主場優勢不可忽略啊
I get where you are coming from but honestly I just thibk Spain are a better side at this point. I won't write Germany out but I'm going 65-35 for Spain.
Spain is not losing that game
@@thebiglebrowski3695 Yeah I’m leaning towards the Spanish side (55-45) if the match is played in France or UK. Now the Germans could (probably won’t) bet on their luck in penalty shootout (Neuer is 10 years older than their counterpart and their players are overall more seasoned)
Adam genuinely explains the details of football I don’t know how to articulate(or even see). I love these videos
He used to do the same with Game of Thrones episodes I couldn't get my head around.
The exact same thing England seem to lack. Our forwards seem terrified to take their man on
Do you even know how to read?
England is 3rd or 4th on that table, even higher than Germany.
@@Karozy4869Inglaterra no es rival para España ni para Alemania (y tampoco tiene títulos importantes como sí tienen España y Alemania)
Almost none of which was done by the front free. Saka got a few in the first game but has been quiet since. Almost all have come from rice and Bellingham just dribbling around in the middle@@Karozy4869
Foden attempted 2 take ons all last game and failed both. Kane had 0. Saka actually tried a fair few (9) but their positions where mostly no where near the opponents final third.
England just seem timid
Definitely favourites at this point!
Fantastic analysis! Very compressed and insightful! Even more excited to watch them tomorrow against the hosts!
FourFourTwo has just given Spain the kiss of death...
😂😂Hope not
Pues no😂 gano
what
really?
Laughed at the subtle Morata shade at the beginning, cos it's so true.
Whatever evolution Spain go through it always ends with "...and also Morata is there" lmao
Part of that is a lack of super amazing Spanish strikers, but he'll do a job for the team. Not a shining star in this team, but has actually also done some good link up play when Spain decide to skip an opponents press and just play directly to Morata. But yeah it feels like he's been there since forever.
How is Spain playing excellent football and reaching the quarters „shocking everyone“ ? And stylistically we’ve seen them play in this modified system for a good amount of time now
They hadn't been as convincing imo. But also, it is "shocking" to mainstream fans because spanish players are overall underrated when you compare them to german or english, for instance. Now everyone can see it and it's undeniable, since it's a big tournament, and they feel tactically more consistent than any previous NT coach has been able to deliver, which is to me the surprise as I had just the right amount of faith in this manager.
Y cómo es que todos vosotros os sorprendéis de ESPAÑA?
Dónde coño estabais en 2021 cuando quedó finalista en la UEFA Nations Ligue. O el año pasado 2023 cuando España la GANÓ.
No podéis admitir que España lleva ya algunos años siendo de las mejores sino la mejor.Otra cosa es que el futbol sea matemática y gane esta EURO, pero que es magnífica sólo los estúpidos, los ignorantes o los envidiosos dicen desconocer.
No me quiero imaginar que gane la UEFA N.L. de 2023 Y la EURO 24 ......... JAJAJAJAJAJA

running is the new passing bang on!!!! mañana ganamos a alemania seguro...¡vamos españa!
Please don't beat Germany... 🥲
But it probably will happen, I predict 3-2 to Spain
The difference from the past is that this time we have actual wingers
BEST breakdown I've seen so far. Thanx, man.
Wow! Great analysis. As for Germany vs Spain is going to be epic! Tough call. 50/50.
"Joder todo" **has** to become this year's Time Word of the Year. 😻🥳
Thank you ❤🎉🎉 I was really waiting for this
Even asked in other videos why not talk about spain 😂
Thr best analysis 🎉
Great analysis! keep up the good work! :-)
Super interesting. Thanks for making a video other than for England. Would love to know what you think of the Dutch system!
Analysis on the Netherlands? They seem pretty strong to me and actually have a lot of interesting players.
We will see the two best teams go head-to-head on friday.
In an ideal world, Spain and Germany whould meet in the final.
Now, the winner of that game will be considered the clear favourite to win the tournament.

"Me llamo Adam" - "llamo" should be pronounced like "jamo".
"Ahora" is "Aora" - never pronounce the "h".

Uuuh... Nope. Me llamo is pronounced "yamo", not "jamo", unless you are an argentinian.
@@Nifava In most of Spain, "y" and "ll" are indistinguishable. Same sound (the hard "Jam" one).

Spain play anti Southgate
I'm a Spanish fan, so can you please make a video ASAP predicting that Germany are guaranteed to win the quarterfinal? I LOVE this channel and I've seen your previous videos on US and Scotland teams. Thanks!

You just said “hi friends I lick myself: Adam Clery” at the beginning 🤣
Thank you man looking for more😅
this guy is the goat
Surprised to see Portugal so up in the stats
Adam, send me a DM and I'll teach you some Spanish phrases for talking about football.
The amount of money I would have paid to see a Spain v Austria final.
The " dream" of the frustated painter the Eurocup😂
Austria went out too soon, they were nice to watch
Couldn’t care less about austria
Events like that are rarely won by exciting teams - England then has a chance
Spain is a pain to rivals.
Have you ever done a poor video, another master class of analysis😎
Vamos España 🇪🇸
Vamos España!
I have worked in data and analytics for well over a decade and this is some of the best storytelling from data I have seen. You make this effortless. Well played sir.
Spain is gonna win the Euros in convincing fashion.
Any idea if the Spanish manager had this style when he managed the younger teams or has he only done it with the first team?
Hi mate, greetings from Spain. 100% De la Fuente PLAYED WITH FAST WINGERS since the beginning with the young players. He was able to use a 4-3-3 Or a 4-2-3-1. In my opinion his style is a Tiki-Taka 2.0 because he still wants the possesion at any price. The classic tiki taka style needed a "doble pivote", a couple of deffensive midfielders as Xabi Alonso and Busquets to concentrate a vastly number of midfielders in the centre but without pure and vertical wingers and a false nine(4-5-1) De la fuente has sacrified this "doble pivote" in order to add two fast wingers(4-3-3). I am not an expert, ok? But more or less that's the big change!!!
De la Fuente It sacrifices the full-backs to be able to include two classic wingers but needs the full-backs to also be classic, Carvajal and Cucurella instead of Navas and Grimaldo who are more offensive, 2 centers instead of 3
@@javierluissantosrubio6603 Muy bien explicado!!!

Final netherlands vs spain
Brilliant
Rodrii is the deference
🇪🇸💪
Another great video
Tell me what you think: 4-2-3-1 :
-Same Def (Gomes over Guehi but Konsa is fine too)
-MF Pivot is Rice and JUDE but Rice more CDM and Rice free to roam forward/box to box
-3 attacking wingers, Palmer on LW, Saka or Gordon at RW and Foden FINALLY in his proper #10 spot with Kane up top but to drop back and lay off to faster players then follow up with his great positioning to find the net/header on crosses etc
Finally. My long waited analysis of yours on Spain.
You've done more on both Scotland and England, two average teams but nevertheless 😊
Bummer. Hoped that you'd try to predict how the spanish and german systems would work out against each other.
Jo Dare Toe Dough?
Not too bad I suppose, but Ho Dare Toe Dough would have got the extra marks.
**It's clear that England's status as tournament favourites is a ruse by the bookies to get gullible England fans to lump on with their entire salaries. Any football fan worth his salt is going to pick Spain, Germany or the Netherlands, or maybe France, or Portugal, or even Switzerland or Turkey before England.
**hoping very much to be proven wrong
Somos muy buenos
Y corremos
German here - looking forward to tonight's game against Spain, and even though I only estimate our chances to beat them at ~20 percent or so, I'm expecting a great game from both sides! If we can beat Spain, I'd say Germany will win the tourney. If (as seems likely) Spain wins, I'm calling it: they're the best team at Euro24, they're going to take the trophy.
Spanish here, I think Germany has more chances than Spain but hope you are right
If you beat us hope you crush any other team.
@@sergiofernandez4566 That was heartrending... I'd say Germany played better overall, but Spain was just ruthless on conversion. Nothing to be done except wish Espana the best of luck!

Adama traorefication of spain
He is actually Spanish, and from Barcelona's youth system.
He did a few exciting things when he went back to Barça and yet he's never really been able to stay at the top level. Too bad because he's so exciting to watch. I hope he finds a way to make it big.
Why did this guy make a video on Spain, any time he makes a video on a team at the Euros they either lose their next game or they go out of the competition, Georgia, Scotland and even Germany played averagely against Switzerland when he made a second video about Germany. Even at the Copa America it happened, USA went out when he dropped a video. I pray it doesn't happen to Spain cox they've been brilliant. No disrespect but I think his tactical analysis on teams in both Euros and Copa America has lead to the teams going out or playing badly in their next game.
anyhow its over for spain its just the wrong time to meet germany
@@joachimluft4501Germany have no one to mark yamal or nico in the wings, Germany midfield is not physical nor as fast as Spain's midfield, Germany's wingers are average at best.
If you think about it logically and rationally, you will see that not only will Spain win but if Germany are not careful they could face the same embarrassment as Brazil in 2014.
@@joachimluft4501 I believe deep down in everyone’s heart, it’s unsettled who’s going to win because it’s a really close heavyweight match. I doubt anyone would dare to bet even 10% of their fortunes on either side. I am not confident to throw in more than €100 tbf

@@joachimluft4501 you said? 😁
Why doesn’t Grimaldo play?
Coach prefers a more defensive left back so that Nico W can be free to mostly attack. Grimaldo is a more offensive option and so far Cucu+Nico seems to be working.
Cucurella is doing a fine job so far. If it's working, why change?
cucurella is magnifique
A POR LOS ALEMANEEEEES🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
Be interesting to see if they do beat Germany they might come unstuck against their bogey team: France.
Germany should not be a push-over with more control in midfield and strong runners at their defence.
I was most impressed with The Netherlands/Holland in recent match: They seem to have it all: Defence and Attack and, tactics and dynamism and good enough subs.
England should be in the above conversation but one wonders if there's method behind Southgate's madness and QFs onwards he's going to produce Plan B: A totally different formation and line-up that was the plan from the very beginning...
In Chinese we have a saying that goes “even a powerful arrow at the end of its flight cannot pierce the silk”. They may be exhausted after playing Germany and France/Portugal in the final. It’s not really surprising if the Dutch beats them then.
the Dutch, the English or the Swiss
Germany's Andrich is missing the match though, he has been key (which Adam briefly mentioned earlier) and could be hard to replace.
@@Cancun771 how?
@@Cancun771 He is not missing, just look for the guy with the pink hair 😂

I wish southgate could borrow from you 😂
But imagine outcry at not picking Jude the golden boy who we should be thankful for breathing the same air as.
Eh honestly I get why you would pick Foden there but just from the performances this tournament i'd put Bellingham there instead. Otherwise looks like a dream team that. Watkins for Kane is a brilliant change.
Spain is gonna Pilas Mila all over Germany! whatever that means 🤣

Both Germany and Spain would definitely beat them, perhaps Switzerland as well.
In crunch situations they assign cucurella as extra goalie. Genious.
We only use it when the forward (Fullkrug) who gives the pass to the finisher is offside and controls the ball with his hand before passing it 😁
On the other hand, I had never seen Kroos kick so many times in my life, he looked like Van Bommel from 2010. That man should have been sent off before the 60th minute and several times ha!
