The Spanish selection it’s back. He does so after an unusual break of almost ten months without competing and with Luis Enrique back on the bench, in what is expected to be the epilogue of a too unstable period, with up to four different selectors and as many changes in just two years. In a still diffuse horizon appears the Eurocup which should have been played this summer. And thinking about that tournament, the Asturian has designed this first list full of novelties and newcomers, a young and talented framework on which to start working.
Although it may not seem like it, the game against Germany is official, not a friendly. The problem is that this incipient Nations League, or League of Nations, devised by UEFA to fill in the odd-numbered years, has not yet had too much impact on the average fan. We will not go out to speculate. We will try again to generate more danger than the rival and have more of the ball than the rival. I’m not going to change. It is an idea with which we have achieved results and I think I have the right players for it, “said Luis Enrique in the preview.
Hence, the coach is not concerned that the average age of his team is surprisingly low, or that many of his boys barely have first-rate international experience: “I have to go looking for solutions, because there are players who retire or who they go to less competitive leagues. We have won everything in lower categories and I must benefit from it.
Outside that range is Sergio Ramos, on whom rests almost the entire weight of responsibility. If it was not for BusquetsThe Andalusian alone would add almost as many caps as the rest of his teammates. “The fusion of young and old has always existed. It is true that in the years that we were champions we were almost always the same ones and now we are in a different situation. Little by little we will have the same game identity, although there are not many opportunities to do tests, “said the captain.
Germany, which is missing several of the European champions with the Bayern, walk in a similar process. Although to gauge where Spain really is, it presents itself as an ideal touchstone.
