Luis Enrique not looking to experiment in Spain's new era

Luis Enrique has vowed to stick with his preferred 4-3-3 system in Spain's upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers as he looks to replicate the success of the last great La Roja side.

Spain, winners of the European Championship in 2008 and 2012 and the World Cup in-between, face Norway and Malta in their first two fixtures in a group that also includes Sweden, Romania and Faroe Islands.

There are only a handful of players left in this squad that were part of their previous triumphs and current coach Enrique acknowledged it will take time to build a team capable of emulating the side of a decade ago.
