The 26 football players called up by Luis Enrique for the great planetary event are already concentrated in the Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas
The 26 footballers that Luis Enrique summoned last Friday to represent Spain at the World Cup in Qatar are already on the Ciudad del Fútbol in La Rozas. Happy with the chance the coach has given them, excited to dress La Roja in the great planetary event and above all hopeful to play a prominent role in the event they dreamed of since childhood, the centurions of Lucho arrived this Monday in what will be the base camp of the national team until Tuesday afternoon when they will take the plane that will take them to the Jordanian city of Amman to play on Thursday the only preparatory game scheduled for the exotic World Cup that will be held in the small emirate and on atypical dates from Sunday.
The eighteen footballers belonging to teams from the League, five from the Premier, two from Ligue 1 and one from the Bundesliga who embody the desire for greatness of the Spanish parish paraded with smiling faces all morning before entering the facilities and were received by Luis Enrique, architect and undisputed figure of a team of authors that once again scores highly.
After reaching the semi-finals of the multi-location Euro Cup last year, declaring themselves runners-up in the third edition of the League of Nations and once again qualifying for the Final Four of the lively UEFA tournament that saw the unimportant friendly has displaced matches from another era, the Spanish team sets no limits in a World Cup where Spain strives to make amends for the troubles in Brazil ’14 and Russia ’18. “My ribbon is infinite,” said the Asturian coach.
All 26 internationals are united to achieve this ambitious goal. Only six of them have previous experience in a World Cup, so for the remaining 20 it will be their debut in the typical national team competition. But the extraordinary motivation and formidable unity of the locker room more than compensate for the inexperience of a troop running alongside Luis Enrique. “Besides being young, the team also really wants to do well, win and you can see that on the field,” said Pedri, one of the axes on which the national team’s game will revolve.
The Spanish team plans to train on Monday afternoon from 6.30 pm, in which the physical condition of the internationals can be checked. Morata, who missed Atlético’s Cup tie against Almazán, arrives in awe and Laporte still bears the war wounds he suffered from the violent collision of his head with Ben Mee’s elbow during last weekend’s game against Manchester City with Brentford mate.
On Tuesday at 11:00 they will train again in the Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas before having dinner and heading to Amán. There, in the Jordanian capital, they train at the Amman International Stadium on Wednesday, the friendly match between Spain and Jordan on Thursday at 7 p.m. Once the process is complete, the Spanish internationals will fly to Qatar, where they will arrive after midnight on Thursday. From then on, his base camp is Qatar University in Doha. Spain will make their debut at the World Cup on Wednesday the 23rd and will face Costa Rica at 5 p.m. On Sunday 27, at 8 p.m., they will take on Germany and close the group stage against Japan on December 1, also at 8 p.m.
