Will Spain become the first team to win the European Championship 4 times or will England have their first time, also the story of "bringing football home" as they have long said? Beauty in simplicity Spain has won the European Championship 3 times and if you cannot remember the first time in 1964, their 2 most recent victories in 2008 and 2012, it is the sublimation of the beautiful, graceful features, based on the personnel foundation of the Barcelona club and the legendary tiqui-taka style of play. But in the period when Barca and that style of play declined, the achievements of Spanish football also declined. Coach Luis Enrique brought a little hope, but it was not enough - Spain reached the semi-finals of EURO 2020. Until Luis de la Fuentes - a not-so-famous figure at the national team level, took over, La Roja stood up and stepped up with a different image. Much simpler, more direct and also much more realistic. But that does not mean it is not beautiful. They are beautiful in their simplicity, because in the hands of coach De la Fuente there are still highly technical factors. The most important thing is that the 63-year-old coach has combined excellently, creating a team that performs an impressive style of play. On their journey, Spain is the only team in EURO history to beat all three big names: Italy, Germany and France. They are also the only team to win all 6 matches on the way to the final. There is no reason not to put them in the position of a more promising candidate. Spain have won the European Championship three times, while this is England's second time in the EURO final.

But does that matter when, together with Spain, they have gone further than all the other teams in the tournament in Germany? No matter what they do, no matter how they do it, England still trudge forward, and that very stuttering is becoming a weapon to believe that they are capable of defeating Spain. Coach Gareth Southgate commented that England must have a "perfect" strategy to be able to overcome the simplicity of Spain. When Southgate talks about tactics, many people will... smile, because for a long time, they still do not understand what England's real strategy is under his hands. But at least Southgate is showing a shift in the way he uses people, a boldness in making substitutions, so that England can score points at important moments. It will be a game of "breaking the situation" between each other, in which the less patient side may have to pay the price. Interestingly, Spain has more achievements but worse head-to-head statistics than England - won 10, drew 3, lost 14, most recently a 2-3 loss in the 2018 Nations League. But 6 years have passed and La Roja have changed a lot, if England are not as strong as the nickname "Three Lions", they will hardly be able to bring football home. Expected lineupSpain : Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Olmo, Rodri, Ruiz; Yamal, Morata, Williams England : Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Shaw; Foden, Bellingham; Kane.
