Desk note: Monexus frames this as a structural story about squad construction rather than as a tactical curiosity. The 2026 Spain team is being built around its defenders because its midfield no longer dictates games the way the 2010 version did; that is a longer-running trend inside Spanish football that the World Cup has only made visible.
