At the heart of success

Friday, August 4, 2023. The clock reads 9:15 PM, local time in Auckland. After the team dinner, eight people gather in a separate room from the rest of the group.

Jorge, Montse, Lerga, Kenio, Carlos, Blanca, Rubén, and the psychologist Javier López Vallejo begin to reach a consensus on decisions that could lead to a historic achievement: Spain is one match away from breaking its World Cup barrier and reaching the quarter-finals for the first time.

Eight professionals with tons of experience and dedication, less than twenty hours away from the decisive moment, where success will largely depend on the accuracy of their analysis and the appropriateness of their decisions.

Providing the players with the best tools and helping them unravel the keys to the game is the main objective of this multidisciplinary team, which as of this Saturday, can proudly claim the honor of being the first to lead Spain into the select group formed by the eight best teams on the planet.
