After the World Cup hangover, can we, Catalans, draw any useful lessons from this happy outcome in the most important sporting competition on the planet?Spain's victory has pleased me. Nine Catalan players and eight from Barça would be reason enough to support the national team. But the main reason is another: a way of understanding competition has prevailed that also applies to politics.It has been said that the red team won because it was, above all, a team. Faced with teams full of stars – Brazil, England, Portugal or France – Spain did not depend on a single name. Its strength has not been isolated talent, but cohesion. The whole has weighed more than the sum of its parts.It is true. But it is not enough to be a pineapple. It is not enough to have a locker room, nor to invoke great words, nor to confuse intensity with intelligence.Besides a team, to win you need something more prosaic and more decisive: a plan.
