INTRODUCTION
This technical report sets out to provide a permanent record, from a
coaching standpoint, of the 31 matches played during a UEFA EURO 2012
won by a Spanish squad which set benchmarks with its clearly defined playing
philosophy and made history by becoming the first to successfully defend
the UEFA European Football Championship title and achieve a unique hat-trick
of European and world trophies.
In addition to recording factual and statistical information about the
tournament, this report seeks to offer analysis, reflections and debating
points which, it is hoped, will give technicians food for thought. By highlighting
tendencies in European national team football and relating them to the trends
which have become visible in the UEFA Champions League, the objective is
also to provide coaches active in the development levels of the game with
information to help them develop the qualities that will be needed by the
elite performers of the future.

GROUP A
STING IN THE TAIL
platform, took the lead with 18 minutes
remaining. Although they had an effort
spectacularly cleared off the line in the
last minute, the Poles were defeated
and eliminated.
Simultaneously, a storm was brewing in
Warsaw, where the Russians needed only
a point to qualify. The wind seemed to be
blowing in favour of the favourites as they
dominated ball possession and carved clear
chances during the opening exchanges. But
one critical moment in added time before the
break turned the group upside down. Sergei
Ignashevich got his head to a seemingly
innocuous throw-in on the Greek right and
lofted the ball over Zhirkov into the path of
Giorgos Karagounis, who drove the ball into
the Russian net. That ‘accident’ proved to be
decisive. During the second half, Advocaat
dropped Roman Shirokov into a screening role
alongside Igor Denisov, withdrew a midfielder
and, for a final onslaught, added Pavel
Pogrebnyak and Marat Izmailov to the front
men in a 4-4-2 formation. However, the
Russians failed to pierce the massed Greek
defence – and one of the pre-tournament
favourites was out.

Resilience and stout defending emerged as
key elements in a group from which the Polish
co-hosts were disappointed to make an early
exit along with Russia, semi-finalists in 2008
and group leaders until the final matchday.
Dick Advocaat’s side had convincingly beaten
the Czechs on the opening day, but Michal
Bílek’s team ultimately took top place, while
the Russians were eliminated by a Greek side
that had had its back to the wall throughout
the group stage.
For the Czechs, the three points were manna
after an initial mauling by Russia in a game
that produced 33 goal attempts. At 2-0 down,
Bílek modified his 4-2-3-1 into a 4-1-4-1
formation which laid the foundations for a
comeback to 2-1, only for powerful Russian
counters to provide two more goals. Dick
Advocaat’s side continued to impress during
the second match against Poland, with Andrey
Arshavin playing a free-spirit role and opening
spaces for team-mates, notably the exuberant
left-back Yuri Zhirkov. Franciszek Smuda
switched to a more classical 4-3-3 shape with
Dariusz Dudka coming in as single screening
midfielder and a spectacular equaliser by
Jakub Błaszczykowski was a reward for better
possession play, character and fighting spirit.
The Greeks had seemed to be slithering onto
a downward slope when, just before half-time
in the opening game, defender Sokratis
Papastathopoulos was red-carded with his side
1-0 down to the rampant hosts. But Fernando
Santos regrouped his team into a compact
4-4-1 formation and, against ten, the Poles
lost their impetus to the extent that the
first action by second-choice goalkeeper
Przemysław Tytoń, replacing red-carded
Wojciech Szczęsny, was to save a penalty
from Giorgos Karagounis.
The Greeks’ 4-3-3 formation evolved into a
4-2-3-1 (Giorgos Samaras moving from the left
into a central target role) after going 2-0 down
inside six minutes against the Czechs. Again,
they reacted with extraordinary resilience and
reduced arrears. But a 2-1 defeat seemed
to spell elimination.
This left everything to be decided on the final
matchday. After two 1-1 draws, Poland needed
to beat the Czechs in Wroclaw to survive.
They started strongly, with midfielders Eugen
Polanski and Rafał Murawski pushing forward
to support a three-pronged attack, while the
Czechs defended in depth and waited for
opportunities to counter. After the break,
Smuda took off the two advanced midfielders
and switched to a 4-4-2, which, as urgencies
increased, evolved into a 4-2-4. The Czechs,
however, gradually took control and, using
numerical advantage in midfield as a launching

GROUP B
GERMANY DOMINATE
A group containing three previous winners
was predictably difficult. But few would have
predicted that Bert van Marwijk’s Dutch team
would travel home without winning a point.
The scene was set by an opening match
in Kharkiv, where the Dutch dominated
Morten Olsen’s Danish team 53-47% in ball
possession, 28-8 on goal attempts and 11-4 on
corners – but were defeated 1-0. For the last
20 minutes, Van Marwijk replaced one of his
screening midfielders (Mark van Bommel) with
the creative Rafael van der Vaart, moved
Wesley Sneijder to the left flank to replace
Ibrahim Afellay, and sent on Klaas-Jan
Huntelaar as main striker, with Robin van
Persie operating in his slipstream. It was a
formula that he was to repeat in the final
must-win game against Portugal.
Against Germany, the Dutch fielded the same
starters. But when 2-0 down at the break (both
goals stemming from the German right, where
Thomas Müller’s in-depth running and passing
were thorns in the Dutch side), Van Marwijk
repeated his tactical adjustments at half-time.
The German full-backs, however, effectively
pre-empted penetrations on the flanks and
when the Dutch found a reply, it came from an
infield run by Arjen Robben and a central finish
by Van Persie. The results meant that no one
was mathematically qualified or eliminated,
with the Germans needing a point and the
others a win.
Injury to Dennis Rommedahl forced Morten
Olsen to bring Jakob Poulsen into an otherwise
unchanged lineup for the final game against
Germany, with Christian Eriksen moving to the
right from his more central role. Müller, also on
the right, was again the provider for Germany’s
opener, with the Danish equaliser stemming
from an aerial combination between Bendtner
and top scorer Michael Krohn-Dehli. However,
Lars Bender, stepping in at right-back for
the suspended Jérôme Boateng, ran onto
an inspired assist from Mesut Özil to clinch
a 2-1 scoreline that sent the Danes home.

Against Portugal, the Dutch started with their
more offensive lineup and gained an early
reward when Van der Vaart pushed forward
to receive from Robben on the right and score
with a left-footed shot from the edge of the
box. Paulo Bento’s team (unchanged over the
three matches) remained unfazed, with Nani
and Cristiano Ronaldo using their pace and
skills in dangerous counterattacks. Outdoing
the Dutch 22 to 13 in scoring attempts, they
were rewarded with two goals. Although Van
Marwijk switched to three at the back for the
final 25 minutes (sending on Afellay to add
attacking personnel on the right), the
Portuguese, injecting Rolando as a fifth
defender for the closing minutes, played
out the 90 minutes without conceding again,
clinching second place behind Germany and
sending the Dutch to the airport along with
the Danes.

a shock defeat for the Netherlands on their opening day
Joachim Löw’s team traded punches with
Portugal during an opening match that was
an exhibition of technical and athletic qualities
– Germany playing their usual 4-2-3-1 system
and Portugal opting for a 4-3-3 with Miguel
Veloso as the screening midfielder. The contest
was decided by a Mario Gomez header from
a Sami Khedira cross 18 minutes from time.
The results sent the Dutch and Portuguese into
their second games needing to win – and the
latter achieved that objective. An unchanged
team went 2-0 ahead, only for two headers by
Nicklas Bendtner to bring Denmark back to
level terms with ten minutes to play. As it had
done in Group A, an ‘accident’ then proved
decisive, substitute Silvestre Varela failing to
make contact with his attempted shot at goal,
only to react swiftly enough to hammer the ball
inside the near post.
