How Spain Abandoned Tiki-Taka to Dominate Football Again

Spain's National Team once dominated world football between 2008 and 2012, riding the wave of a Golden Generation that brought home two Euros and a World Cup in stunning back-to-back-to-back victories. However, after this unprecedented success, things started to decline for the Spanish National Team. Tiki-taka, their famed tactical style, was exposed, key players aged, and Spain faced embarrassing exits at the 2014, 2018, and 2022 World Cups. Fast forward to 2024, and Spain has reinvented itself with a more direct tactical approach and a fresh pool of players like Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal, and Rodri, leading them to win the 2024 Euros and regain their place at the top of world football. But it’s not just the men's team-Spain is also excelling in women's football, youth football, and club football (thanks to the successes of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona). So now, in this video, we’ll go over everything that has led to Spain’s resurgence on the global stage. 🇪🇸
This definitely took a while to make, so I'd appreciate if you guys could share, like, and subscribe :).

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1100">18:20</a> I feel like everyone talks about how Spain's golden generation is the best international generation of players this century, but you have to consider Brazil's golden generation that lasted 13 years from 1994 - 2007, a true footballing dynasty. In just this century alone, they have won 1 World Cup, 3 Copa Americas, 3 Confederation Cups, and technically 2 Olympic Gold Medals since 3 national team players can play with the U23s. Though Spain for me is the best European side of this century so far, I would say they're probably 3rd best this century, behind Argentina and Brazil. Great video btw

[@mateousax2]

Rinus michel created total football, then evolve into a proto tiki taka with cruyff, then evolve into tiki taka with pep and luis enrique, and now tiki taka is evolving into more vertical, direct and more intense style of play. It’s not dying, just evolving.

People made fun of Spain saying tiki Taka was dead yet they won the euros playing by far the best football and leaving pragmatic masters like France and England in their wake. Spain only had to wait 12 years to win another tournament. Which is only 5 tournaments. While other nations like Germany, Italy. France had to wait longer. They rebuilt their team faster than anyone. 2018 World Cup was the last tournament with the old generation and two tournaments later they’re champions again.

[@86Fallowcp]

Even Argentina, that's winning it all since 2021, took almost 30 years of pure nothing to finally become the number 1 again. As an argie, really looking forward to any eventual Finalissima, especially since Spain's coach was Argentina's coach's teacher (De la Fuente and Scaloni)

[@nxyn9209]

@@86Fallowcp I think Argentina will easily cruise through. I understand that spain is a very strong side but Argentina has probably the best GK in the world right now and arguably the best striker in the world right now.

[@arsenalfan5366]

Hey Nabhuto. I just want to say that you make amazing videos. Keep up the good work. By the way I have a video idea if you don't mind. The downfall of the Norway Football Team. It's been 24 years since Norway have qualified for a major tournament. Right now they have a talented and a great squad where this is probably Norway's best ever squad in a long time. They have the potential to make an underdog run at the Euros or even at the World Cup. I think that Norway needs a better manager. For the Nations League Norway are in a difficult group alongside Austria, Slovenia and Kazakhstan. Norway should aim to get 1st place in that group but just like the last Euro Qualifiers which was a doable group for Norway they were a huge disappointment. They should make it to the next World Cup and the next Euros given how stacked their squad looks. I appreciate it if you look at my video idea. Many thanks
