In a concentration there are many dead times. The days are getting longer and the internationals are getting the chance to entertain themselves with various pastimes. In the Der Oschberghof complex, La Roja’s base camp, footballers have a wide range of games available in a large common room where, it is believed, there is more competition than on the pitch.
In the gym tent, for example, there is a basket and a teqball table, a type of ping-pong played in pairs, with feet and a soccer ball. The two brothers-in-law of the national team, Carvajal and Joseluare the ones who challenge themselves the most under the hoop, although great reluctance comes from the culés Fermín, Ferran, Pedri or Lamineto join Baena or Nicowho prefers teqball.
The Canarian midfielder, for example, has left the Play Station a bit. He is from FIFA and during this competition, the youngest members of the group play more ‘Call of Duty’, with El Tiburón winning. And they took it professionally, because they even put some gamer chairs in the games room.
Peter He switched to table tennis, where he fought for the throne. There is competition there. Cucurella and Grimaldo They are also good – many years at La Masia – and they are lucky not to have Gavi, another star of the so-called ping-pong. Although it seems that the best of the choice is Rodriwhich continues without finding a rival.
Zubimendi and his chess past
There are more classics. Le NormandFor example, it’s Parcheesi, another game that sparks heated disputes, always good, and that’s also taken on trips. Another board that did not fail Spain’s concentration was chess. The games in between are epic Dani Olmo and Unai Simónthough now a fierce rival joins them: Zubimendi, who became the Guipúzcoa chess champion when he was 11 years old. Of course, the cards are kept too. There is a good game of poker between a band led by Carvajal, Joselu, Ayoze or Unai Simónwhere others join.
In addition, it is worth remembering that the team remains in a historic golf club with three courses and 45 holes. That’s territory Álvaro Morata and Álex Remirowho take clubs and relax showing their ‘swing’.
You see: this bad team doesn’t have a good time, and it doesn’t get bored either. They form a group although here everyone always wants to win. And not just on the field. Even in Parcheesi
