Sid Lowe in Spain

Thursday night at Las Rozas, the Spanish Football Federation's headquarters 25km north-west of Madrid. Training has finished and it's gone dark but a gaggle of fans still gathers behind the metal fence overlooking the car park, waiting for a glimpse of the players, an autograph, a hand to shake, a cheek to kiss, or a photo. Through the bars, Luis Aragonés appears. A few fans wish him good luck, then one shouts something about Raúl and the Spain coach does his nut. In the presence of a cameraman from La Sexta.
