Another Spaniard who can feel proud of his efforts this season is Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez who has been courted by many clubs; namely Liverpool after steering his Latics side clear of relegation despite working with one of the Premier League’s tightest budgets. The former Swansea manager believes defending the European crown will be the toughest agenda yet for La Roja, and contends that Group B possesses some dangerous challengers who may well threaten the dominance of Vicente Del Bosque’s side.
“I wouldn’t say it’s for Spain to lose; it is probably the hardest out of the last three tournaments, firstly because anyone that plays against Spain knows it’s acceptable to do whatever they want to get a result and that’s a big advantage. As we have seen before in examples from this season, when it is acceptable for you to do that; be very defensively minded and negative with your play just because you are playing against Spain. Therefore it will be very difficult for Spain to find a way to win games and playing in a European competition you know all the teams will be very strong defensively and focused on stopping Spain. This is something we didn’t see in South Africa, there were the South American teams which are completely different to the Europeans and we saw Spain struggle with teams like Switzerland and Germany. For me Group B has the finalists; they may not win the tournament but you are looking at Holland, Germany, Denmark and Portugal so I think that group will set the standard. I think the nations with the best opportunity are Germany and Holland but I do feel Spain needs to find a solution for who will put the ball in the back of the net. It’s as simple as finding someone who can convert those chances and if they can they are the team to beat.”
