Spain are perhaps not yet reached its peak bright, but remain in good shape and will take some stopping if they are to defend the title he won four years ago.
Spain has been impressive so far expected, if not spectacular, putting in a particularly striking display against the Republic of Ireland before seen outside of France, so comfortable in the quarterfinals. They intend to keep playing football, a style that is becoming ever closer to becoming the first team to win an international tournament for the third consecutive major.
Tactics: Spain have started every game in a 4-3-3, with both sides regularly pushed further up the pitch and one of the key midfielders Sergio Busquets or Xabi Alonso, falling in the middle of Gerard Pique and Sergio The Red Ramos play with a 3-4-3 attacking when possible. The debate has never been about how tactics, but rather whether a traditional center-forward floating or "false n ° 9 'represented by Cesc Fabregas is more beneficial.
Key man: Andres Iniesta, so essential to Spain for years, has raised the bar again - and stand out in this remarkable group of players has something very special. Almost without exception, has the final or penultimate touch before scoring a goal and twice lifted the Carlsberg of the match award. "Years go by, to learn, accept more responsibility and now I'm in a good time when I feel good about the team in Spain - I hope it lasts a long time," Iniesta told.
EURO semi-final record:
17/06/1964 Spain 2-1 Hungary (Madrid)
24/06/1984 Denmark 1-1 Spain (aet, Spain win 5-4 on pens) (Lyon)
26/06/2008 Russia 0-3 Spain (Vienna)
Basecamp: This is predominantly the same group of players who won the 2010 FIFA World Cup and not only are used to living together for four or five weeks, enjoying each other's company. Cards, table tennis, darts, remote control cars, swimming, laughter, music and regular days off granted by coach Vicente del Bosque is a recipe for time not dragging. Xavi Hernández, Iker Casillas and sat Forest to ensure that no problems weighing on the domestic season and have clearly done a good job.
Joined Donetsk: Donetsk visiting Spain is the second time after Saturday's quarter-final. However, its contingent of FC Barcelona know the city pretty well - Victor Valdes, Gerard Pique, Xavi and Busquets won 1-0 against FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the Donbass Arena in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, with Valdes, Pique, Xavi and Iniesta have also found in the 2-1 win against the miners in their earlier stage in stage 2008/09 the group.
However, Valdes, Iniesta and Xavi prefer not to remember your visit 2004/05 group stage, when a 2-0 defeat to Barcelona become the only Spanish team that has lost a match in Donetsk. The overall results of the Spanish clubs in the city is W3 D3 L1, other current players who have played Red in there, including David Silva and Raul Albiol, who appears in a 2-2 draw against Shakhtar with Valencia CF in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage.
Room for improvement: The loss of David Villa and Carles Puyol has stripped Spain of men who scored six of his eight goals to win the World Cup and, sometimes, the most likely conversion has been a problem for this tournament. When Silva and Cesc play from the start together, there is a lack of searing pace.
The view of the house: "Xabi Ooh la la" is one of the best titles to date, celebrating the fact that Xabi Alonso scored his 100th game with two goals in the 2-0 to Spain in the quarter- Final victory against France. "We have the normal, abnormal, winning both," Iniesta was the way to summarize the extent of Spain's achievements to date.
Mission Statement: "Losing is not a disaster, which would be a disaster is the abandonment of our football philosophy - that we will never do." Iniesta, Xavi, Del Bosque and many, many others on the team.
