De Gea and Aspas, Luis Enrique’s two ‘X-files’

There should not be a selector with a notebook as specific as the one in Luis Enrique, a way of working that usually works for him, based on the intangible code of honor that leads him to surround himself with people he trusts and perfectly fits the dynamics of the group he creates. That doesn’t mean that some of his decisions make a difference to the environment, although what has become clear is that they often end up being for him. Two of those ‘X-files’ of the coach are back in the present due to the fact that his performance at the time did not find a reward in the form of a call-up for the Spanish team for the games of League of Nations of the month of June. The ‘unsolved mysteries’ are David De Gea and of Iago Aspas.

And what now to talk about these two absentees? Well, mainly and in the case of the goalkeeper, because just this past Friday his teammates Man Utd They chose him as the best player of the season, showing that he is in top form and that he is recognized by the people who work with him every day.

For his career and the team locker room, Luis Enrique he had the strange kindness to talk to her to explain that he was no longer in the previous tie. He doesn’t do it now because it’s not necessary. Your bets are now Unai Simón, Rober Ibáñez and David Raya, and out of respect for them, ‘Lucho’ does not speak about the absentees. Of course, he left the door open for his return.

Quite far is what Bladessince he finished the League as the top national scorer with 17 goals and an absence due to injury as in Gerard Moreno, Oyarzabal or Yeremi Pino They pointed him out as a candidate along Borja Iglesias. It’s not like that and Luis Enrique bet on others. “The facts speak louder than words, they are more real,” said the coach when asked for an explanation. And at the moment his method of management works for him.
