The newspaper <strong>Mundo Deportivo<\/strong> welcomes him at their Barcelona newsroom for an in-depth\n        conversation lasting over an hour.

A philosophy that took him from grassroots football in Catalonia to the bench of the\n            Spanish National Team.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__quote\">\n        &laquo;I&rsquo;m not obsessed with the result, I&rsquo;m obsessed with the process. If you do things well, the\n        results will come. If you only look at the scoreboard, you lose focus on what you can actually control.&raquo;\n        <span>&mdash; Robert Moreno<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__content\">\n        <h3>The National Team: total commitment<\/h3>\n        <p>In the central part of the interview, Moreno talks about what it means to manage the Spanish National Team:\n            the responsibility of representing an entire country, managing a dressing room full of the world&rsquo;s\n            best\n            players, and the importance of having a clear project that transcends individual names.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__quote\">\n        &laquo;Coaching the National Team means feeling that every day you are working for millions of people. That\n        responsibility doesn&rsquo;t weigh you down &mdash; it motivates you. It is the greatest honour of my\n        career.&raquo;\n        <span>&mdash; Robert Moreno<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__content\">\n        <h3>Tactics, analysis and the use of technology<\/h3>\n        <p>Moreno explains in detail his working methodology: the importance of video analysis, the meticulous\n            preparation for each opponent, and the use of data and technology as tools at the coach&rsquo;s disposal. A\n            modern vision that, as early as 2019, anticipated many of the current debates about innovation in\n            football.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__quote\">\n        &laquo;Technology is a tool, not a substitute. In the end, football is played by people. But if you have the\n        tools to understand the game better, it would be irresponsible not to use them.&raquo;\n        <span>&mdash; Robert Moreno<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__content\">\n        <h3>Leadership and dressing-room management<\/h3>\n        <p>The conversation delves into the human management of the dressing room: how to communicate with players who\n            are global stars, how to maintain group cohesion, and how to earn respect through approachability and\n            competence rather than imposition.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__quote\">\n        &laquo;The best players in the world want to be better than they already are. They don&rsquo;t arrive as\n        finished products &mdash; they come eager to keep growing. And that is the beauty of working at the\n        elite level.&raquo;\n        <span>&mdash; Robert Moreno<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__content\">\n        <h3>Every coach&rsquo;s dream<\/h3>\n        <p>In the closing section, Moreno reflects on what it means to have reached the highest position in Spanish\n            football: from his first steps at Hospitalet to sitting on the bench at the Bernab&eacute;u. A story of\n            hard work, perseverance and conviction that proves there are no shortcuts in football.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"rm-video-entry__quote\">\n        &laquo;I&rsquo;m the same person who used to coach youth teams. With more experience, with more tools, but with\n        the same passion. The day I lose that, I&rsquo;ll stop coaching.&raquo;\n        <span>&mdash; Robert Moreno<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <p style=\"margin-top:48px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/robert-moreno.es\/en\/press-room\/\"\n            style=\"color:#c9a962;text-decoration:none;\">&larr; Back to Press Room<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#127909; Interview &middot; Sports press In-depth interview with Mundo Deportivo The first major interview as Spain&rsquo;s national team head coach &#127908; Mundo Deportivo August 2019 1h 23min 5,600+ views Context: August 2019.
