“I am strong as an analyst” — Interview in El País
«I’m strong as an analyst»
In-depth interview in El País on methodology, analysis and the vision of modern football
Analysis as identity
In this interview, Robert Moreno defines himself through his essence: tactical analysis. Unlike many coaches who reached the profession from a playing career, Moreno forged his path through the exhaustive study of the game. Thousands of hours of video, opposition analysis, playing models broken down to the finest detail.
It is a statement of principles: you don’t need to have been an elite footballer to manage at the elite level. You need knowledge, dedication and a power of observation honed over years. Moreno is the living proof of this alternative path.
A methodology built from the ground up
Moreno explains how his methodology starts from the deep analysis of every match: from off-the-ball movements to the opposition’s pressing patterns. He was a pioneer in Spain in the application of professional scouting and video analysis, tools that are now standard in any top-level coaching staff.
The interview also covers his vision of football as Granada’s manager: tactical demands combined with squad management in LaLiga, the complexity of competing every week against Champions League-level opponents and the need to extract the maximum performance from every player.
The seal of approval from a reference newspaper
El País is Spain’s most widely read newspaper and one of the most influential in the Spanish-speaking world. The fact that it devoted an in-depth interview to Robert Moreno during his time at Granada reflects the recognition of his career and his voice as a tactical reference in Spanish football.
