Marcos Llorente, who had always been a starter in the national team as a right back, made his debut as an interior in the eleven in the game against Georgia. And his performance did not go unnoticed. The rojiblanco delivered the goal passes in the second and third goals for Spain, and finished as one of the most outstanding of the team. At the end, Llorente reaffirmed before the Spanish Television cameras how comfortable he feels playing in an advanced position: «Inside is where last year I gave my best version, I did the best season of my career and it is where I feel best. The coaches know it, but maybe they have other thoughts and I can only do where they put me. I played there and I think I had a great game.
As was logical, one of the main questions asked to Luis Enrique after the win had to do with Llorente’s new role. It is not the first time that the colchonero plays in the center of the field, but until now he had always done it as a revulsive. “When you have a player with that versatility and that ability to play in different positions, it would be unfair for a player to appear in only one position. He knows that he can help us in different positions.
Luis Enrique admitted that the player may have a “favorite” position, but hinted that he will continue to use him where he deems most convenient, whatever the player’s desire: “I listen to all the players and they should listen to me. Llorente adds in any position, like Azpilicueta or Rodri. They adapt and are delighted.
The coach acknowledged, about the game, that it left him better sensations than the one he experienced in Solna last Thursday. “We professionals are used to this roller coaster. You have to go through the duel after a defeat, but bite the bullet and think about the next game Now it’s time to focus on Kosovo.
