They say, it is easier to reach the top than to maintain it. What can be the possible reasons for that? Well, there can be numerous starting from lack of ambition to tiredness to lack of zeal or enthusiasm to self-contentment to hubris. So what can be done about it? More specifically, what should Spanish football team do to maintain their football dominance after holding aloft European Cup and now World Cup?
Without going into the philosophical solutions, I would say that they should do the following:
a) Make Cecs Fabregas regular in the starting line-up.
b) Encourage their forwards to play like mid-fielders. With players like Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas who needs forwards anyway?
c) Get rid of Ramos.
d) Send Cruyff or somebody from his line of school to Real Madrid's academy to coach youngsters
Bingo. It wouldn't be far-fetched to see Spain repeating the feat of European Cup & World Cup in the coming four years. Wouldn't that be a fitting end to the careers of gems like Xavi & Iniesta?
