Spain has the opportunity to take revenge for the final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, a match in which it lost (2-1 in extra time) against Brazil. Many of the players who played in that match will play at the Bernabéu, in addition to Luis de la Fuente who was the coach on that occasion. For this reason, the Rioja coach will be able to compete for the best of all the good things he has. The following lineup is expected: Unai Simón; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Grimaldo; Rodri, Fabián, Dani Olmo; Lamine Yamal, Morata and Nico Williams. The only doubt is whether Cucurella, who was one of those who was in that Olympic final, will start or will do so throughout the game, which is more likely.
Rodrigo, who has not been able to train for the last three days due to the serious illness of a family member, will be in the game. The Manchester City midfielder, fifth in the voting for the last Ballon d’Or, wants to play against Brazil and will make an effort (he is physically at his best) to get into the team. His presence is very important since the lineup that Luis de la Fuente has arranged is very, very offensive. And Rodrigo will be needed to give balance to the team.
The presence of Fabián and Dani Olmo in the midfield is more to look at Brazil’s goal than ours. They are two ‘mid-forwards’ more than two midfielders. Olmo has also just caused a sensation at the Bernabéu with his team, Leipzig, in the Champions League. And there is a desire to see him again in Madrid… As for Fabián, purged by Luis Enrique, he is a player who always surprises with his vision of the game and his creativity. Up front are two wingers, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, who could play for Brazil. A great Spain on a great stage, the monumental Bernabéu.
