The first list of Luis de la Fuente as coach of Spain was made public this Friday and left several aspects to comment. On the one hand, there is a circumstance that out of the 26 mentioned only two can debut (david garcia and Joselu) while many missed the call and will continue to fight to appear in the next ones.
1
David Garcia (Osasuna)
At 29 years old, he received the call from the National Team. Their good work over the past few seasons is well deserved. Very complete central will seek to gain a foothold.
2
Joselu Mato (Spanish)
With 12 goals, he is the leading national scorer so far in LaLiga. At the age of 32, he received the award for a career in which he scored many goals. A very complete ‘9’ will give the team a lot.
3
Gabri Veiga (Celtic)
He was in all the pools to debut with absolute, but finally it didn’t slip in the list. He is one of the fittest midfielders in LaLiga, he is 20 years old and he will definitely get the opportunity.
4
Stefan Bajcetic (Liverpool)
His disruption in Liverpool’s midfield gave him options, but an untimely injury left him without them. He is 18 years old and has a lot to say in the future.
5
Robin Le Normand (Royal Society)
There has been a lot of talk about his possible inclusion, refusing to play one day in France, but the Real Sociedad central defender has not yet entered in the end. We will see in the following lists.
6
Marc Cucurella (Chelsea)
He was offering good performances at Chelsea and De la Fuente knew him from the Under-21s, but he was unable to dislodge Gayà and Balde. He made his debut in the day in the coronavirus friendly against Lithuania having played in the Under-21s even though he was fit that day.
7
Chimy Avila (Osasuna)
He has yet to gain a foothold in Argentina and the possibility of him being called up to Spain is being considered. He appreciated it himself, but in the end it didn’t make the list.
8
Sergi Darder (Spanish)
At 29 years old, he is in the prime of his career. The midfielder from the Balearic Islands is everything for the Spaniard, but at the moment it is not enough for him to get a foothold in a position that is so expensive.
9
Alex Remiro (Royal Society)
Real Sociedad’s goalkeeper could make the list. More if possible considering the absence of Unai Simón. But they chose continuity and the return of Kepa.
10
Arnau Martinez (Girona)
The emerging right-back from Girona was on the shortlist and there were options to break through, but in the end it was Pedro Porro and Carvajal. The opportunity will come one day.
Eleven
Marc Roca (Leeds United)
The departure of Sergio Busquets gave him options for the pivot position as an alternative to Rodrigo Hernández, but at that moment the role was covered by Zubimendi.
12
Fran Garcia (Rayo Vallecano)
He is having a good season, but it is not easy to appear on the list as a left back. You have to wait.
