Luis Enrique favors De la Fuente in one of the National Team’s lost causes

The Spanish team has a big challenge this summer of returning to the level where it should not leave Euro 2024 in Germany.

This will be the first major tournament of Luis de la Fuente as a coach, after he lifted the first Nations League just a few months ago. The Spanish coach stayed with solid ideas, he trusted the players he knew well and gave opportunities to other youngsters, such as Lamine Yamal or Bryan Zaragozathat can make the difference in tight matches.

The final list remains to be worked out, but in recent months hints have been given as to where the names of the called-up players will go. In that sense, one of the ones that looks certain to be in Germany, unless prevented by an unfortunate injury, is Fabian Ruiz.

It seems that the best time of the Spanish midfielder in the national team has passed, but nothing could be further from the truth. De la Fuente has already shown in calls this season that he relies on him and on top of that he received the cape of Luis Enrique to once again find the best version of the Andalusian in Paris Saint Germain since his arrival at the Parc des Princes.

There are doubts about what will happen Fabian when Struggled arrived in France. Suspicions due to his absence at Qatar World Cup 2022 It seems an indication that the Spaniard is not well liked by the current coach, but nothing could be further from the truth. It became clear that if Fabián does not count more for Luis Enrique’s National Team, the reason is not the coach, but because of his fit in the system Christophe Galtiercoach last season at PSG, is not right.

The former Napoli has merit, that continues. Because he has to work for it. Luis Enrique he was shown at the beginning of the season that that version of Fabian It wasn’t enough for PSG, who also strengthened themselves in the middle of the field Ugartea 60 million euro signing that could occupy his position.

This is how the story begins. In Fabian being substituted in 5 of the first 7 games in Ligue 1, and was not called up even against Nice, which further raised rumors about Luis Enrique. But what happened was the ‘Lucho’ shape Fabianwhich he knows very well, to find his best version, seen in the Real Sociedad tie, playing a role similar to that of Rakitic in his time at Barça, helping the shortcomings of Mbappe and Dembele in defense.

Now, anyone who thinks about PSG’s midfield knows that there are two main players. Zaire-Emery, with Luis Enrique in love, and Fabian Ruizwho at 27 years old has regained his best version and is ready to show it in the Euro Cup.
