They don't quite as much much competition for places either however. It's not a hard and fast rule anyway. Spain don't have many players who play outside Spain, although quite a few did previously, but it's more about the drive and ambition to play football. If you can't play football then go where you can play football at the highest level possible. It's indicative of an attitude that is only part of what is costing us.

Club level is a fine place for players to learn. I don't really see the need to increase the internationals, we know the quality of the players as they play every week.

We need better players. Everything else will have only a minor impact at best.
