There are some realists who are disappointed when Luis Enrique He offered the squad list for the World Cup in Qatar a month ago without a representative of the txuri urdin squad. Especially the five footballers present in the shortlist –remiro, zubimendi, Merino, Brace Y oyarzabal– They kept a thread of hope related to their contest in the planetary event until the end, even if the man from Eibar, a fixture for the coach, knows that it will be more difficult for him because of his injury, from which he did not but fully recover to play in the semifinals of the World Cup. However, another door is open for Real players to be eligible for Spain due to the change in the coaching staff and the appointment of a Luis de la Fuente who is very inclined to look at the txuri urdin squad when designing his calls for in the U-21 team, last season.
And it is that there is a whopping 14 txuri urdin who played at least one match in the Spanish U-21 team under the orders of Louis of Origin. Actually, there are 15 realists who were made to play in the lower category of the Hispanic team, but Alex Remiro He did it only in the U-19 team. footballers like oyarzabal They went through some of the teams for which the coach from La Rioja was responsible, including the Under-23, where they were Olympic runners-up in Tokyo last year. Merino Y zubimendi they also participated in that tournament, where Spain fell to Brazil.
Oyarzabal played 13 games with him
Certainly Real’s ’10’ has worn the so-called ‘rojita’ shirt on the most occasions with Louis of Origin (13). they follow him turrientes (Eleven), Merino (8), zubimendi (7), Pacheco (7), barrenetxea (5), zubeldia (4), Roberto Lopez (3), Navarrese (3), Carlos Fernandez (two), Brace (two), Karrikaburu (two), olasagasti (19) and Gonzalez de Zarate (1). For all of them, especially those who are now standing in the first team, the horizon of hope opens for the next championships that will be decided by the selection, the 2023 Nations League in the Netherlands (against the hosts, Croatia and Italy ) and Euro 2024 in Germany.
Before Sorloth’s Norway
However, Spain’s new coach will reveal his intentions and ideas for the matches against Norway Sorloth and Scotland in March, which coincides with the qualifying phase for the Eurocup.
In his first appearance, Louis of Origin He promised to maintain the style typical of the absolute, albeit with nuances, and of the Under-21s, which would suit Real perfectly.
“I don’t close the doors to anyone,” said the man from La Rioja, who was happy to be able to pick footballers without age limits until now. “Our job is to bring the best players for every game”, he believes. In this approach, he should have brought some realists, especially those in the midfield, if he was on the bench of Spain during the World Cup in Qatar.
