Alvaro Morata already exercises as captain from Spanish selection. The Atlético de Madrid striker offered his first words as La Roja’s highest hierarchy on the pitch during a presentation ceremony as the new sponsor of the team for the technology company TCL. Along with Morata, players such as Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernández and Real Madrid winger Dani Carvajal also appear in the group of captains.

Morata, 60 caps

Álvaro Morata is the new captain after the international withdrawal of Sergio Busquets and the absence from the first list of Luis de la Fuente of Jordi Alba and Koke Resurrección. Morata, who has 60 caps, which gives him that bracelet, stated when asked about his new sensations: “It’s incredible to be a captain. With Dani (Carvajal) I’ve been in the national team since we were two kids and it’s a tremendous joy not only to be captain, but to be here again and defend my country’s shirt.”

Asked about his new role, the Atlético striker limited himself to warning: “Our role now is to help people who are new or who have been there for less time, to make them feel as they have made us feel since we came to the national team very young. There is a fantastic group, you don’t need a lot of help but people can count on us if they need anything.”

From the Source, satisfied

De la Fuente was not concerned about the departure of the previous captains, Sergio Ramos and Busquets, and is convinced that the time has come for other footballers to take the step. “Surely leaders will continue to appear. I want a positive leadership that joins other leadership that will come out in the locker room, that will appear. I know the potential of this group, the players for a long time and there was never a lack of a leader”, he sentenced.
