Luis de la Fuente has made a pre-list with more than 50 players in which two prominent names appear that have given a lot to talk about in recent games: the Madrid player Nacho and the Betic player Isco. The coach will have a list of 26 players, which opens the range of possibilities and allows names to be considered that have not appeared regularly on the list, such as these two players, who had not been in the coach’s previous calls. Haro.
Nacho, at 34 years old, is being an important player for Real Madrid and everything indicates that he will start in the Wembley final, as he was in Manchester and Munich. The white captain is having more minutes than in past seasons, due to the injuries of Alaba and Militao, and after an irregular first part of the season he has improved his performance, once again being a guarantee center back for Ancelotti. The youth player, who has spent 13 seasons at Real Madrid, has announced to the club that his idea is leave the club at the end of the season and everything indicates that he will go to the American MLS, where he wants to start a new stage with his family. He has offers in Europe from Italian teams, such as Inter, from German teams, such as Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, and there is interest from several Premier League teams. Nacho has 24 caps for Spain, with which he played in the World Cup in Russia and became champion in the last Nations League with De la Fuente as coach.
In case of Isco is more unique because the man from Malaga has not been part of a coach’s plans for years. His last game with his national team was a qualifying match for Euro 2020 that he played on June 10, 2019 against Sweden. Before that he had already worn the Spain shirt in 38 times, scoring 12 goals. The man from Malaga has been reborn after leaving Sevilla for Betis, where Manuel Pellegrini has given him minutes and stripes. Isco is, without a doubt, the best Verdiblanco player this season and has received the Best Player of the Match (MVP) trophy in 19 of the 28 League games in which he has participated. This has led him to be named best player in the League in the month of April. The 31-year-old from Malaga seems to have regained his passion for football and is enjoying a Betis team that he wants to keep in Europe, fighting with Real Sociedad for a place in the Europa League.
Isco had not entered Luis de la Fuente’s plans until now, but his great performance has ended up knocking down the door and the coach has surrendered to the evidence of his great moment of form. The Betic player would fit perfectly in the midfield position of De la Fuente’s 4-2-3-1, behind the striker. His ability to generate play, filter last passes and even shoot, make him a more than reliable alternative to Dani Olmo who has not finished the season at his peak. The 9 goals and 7 assists of the green and white player improve the 5 goals and 5 assists of the Leipzig player.
Barça and Basque majority
In addition to these, in De la Fuente’s prelist Barça names like Fermín appearwho until now counted more in the U-21 than in the senior team, el de Gaviwho continues his recovery and will not be ready for Germany, or Bucket’s, in a similar situation. Added to them are those of Cubarsí, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Iñigo Martínez and Ferran Torres to reach eight Barça players, the club with the most players on that first roster, even though the two injured players have a testimonial presence.
He Real Madrid has three on the pre-list, which could also be on the final list: Carvajal, Joselu and Nacho. While at Atlético de Madrid, represented by Morata, Azpilicueta, Koke, Marcos Llorente and Riquelme, it seems that only the captain will be on the final list. Athletic has five footballers Unai Simón, Vivian, Aitor Paredes, Sancet and Nico Williams, the same as Real Sociedad, which has Remiro, Le Normand, Mikel Merino, Zubimendi and Oyarzabal, with the doubt of a Zubimendi who is lost the end of the season due to an injury that it is not known if it will allow him to go to Germany.
And finally, among the names that have not yet debuted with De la Fuente’s Spain and are on that first pre-list are the Valencian Pepelu, the Beticos Ayoze and Fornals and the Braga winger Álvaro Djaló.
