In-Depth Interview with Mundo Deportivo
In-depth interview with Mundo Deportivo
The first major interview as Spain’s national team head coach
Early career and coaching philosophy
Robert Moreno looks back on his development from his earliest years as an analyst and assistant coach, explaining how he built his tactical vision from the ground up: observing, analysing and systematising every aspect of the game. A philosophy that took him from grassroots football in Catalonia to the bench of the Spanish National Team.
The National Team: total commitment
In the central part of the interview, Moreno talks about what it means to manage the Spanish National Team: the responsibility of representing an entire country, managing a dressing room full of the world’s best players, and the importance of having a clear project that transcends individual names.
Tactics, analysis and the use of technology
Moreno explains in detail his working methodology: the importance of video analysis, the meticulous preparation for each opponent, and the use of data and technology as tools at the coach’s disposal. A modern vision that, as early as 2019, anticipated many of the current debates about innovation in football.
Leadership and dressing-room management
The conversation delves into the human management of the dressing room: how to communicate with players who are global stars, how to maintain group cohesion, and how to earn respect through approachability and competence rather than imposition.
Every coach’s dream
In the closing section, Moreno reflects on what it means to have reached the highest position in Spanish football: from his first steps at Hospitalet to sitting on the bench at the Bernabéu. A story of hard work, perseverance and conviction that proves there are no shortcuts in football.
