Luís Aragonés: Spain mourns the loss of "tiki taka" master


Summary:
Luís Aragonés died the last Saturday on 2nd February at the age of 75. He retired the last year due to the health problems which have led him to his death.
Called “the wise of Hortaleza”, Luís Aragonés was player and then he was coach from a lot of teams during almost 30 years. In his last career he was Spanish national team’s coach and won the 2008 European Championship title leaving them the legacy of the “tiki taka” passing style which he established  by making a brilliant breakthrough changing the national team’s style and discarding several “untouchable” players.
All the Spanish team have mourn the loss of Luís by making “silence minutes” and a lot of players and presidents have shown the sorrow they feel.

Opinion:
In my opinion he was a great player, a great coach and seemed a very great and close person. He was a wise in football and he achieved to excite a lot of people in this country by showing them that there’s nothing impossible. He showed to the entire world that without world class stars but a good team work and commitment a lot of things can be achieved.
It’s a tragic loss but the Spanish team’s mourning has been touching.
