Pepelu, on the Spanish preliminary list | Relief
Pepelu is on Luis de la Fuente’s provisional list for the next international break, where Spain will play friendlies against Colombia and Brazil. The Valencia player is thus rewarded for a fantastic season in which he has become one of the great leaders of a team that is already aiming to compete for European competition. The coach will announce the final list next Friday, March 15th..
The midfielder was already a pupil of Luis de la Fuente. In particular, in October 2019, in the first game of now a Valencia player for the U-21 national team against Germany. The coach placed him in midfield next to Fran Beltrán, in an eleven with familiar players such as Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres.. He also played two more matches against Macedonia and Israel.
He hasn’t had the chance to wear the Absoluta shirt until now, but his excellent work at the Mestalla has landed him on the provisional list. This really only means that he is on the manager’s radar, but is not a guarantee that he will be called up. For now, Being last on the list before the EuroCup, the most natural thing for De la Fuente would be to try the more conventional men.. However, his name is listed both in this call and in subsequent ones.
And there are not enough advantages. Pepelu, who arrived on the market last summer, has five goals and one assist and is the undisputed player for Baraja.. He showed a hierarchy in midfield and a charisma that quickly impressed the fans, who had already clamored for his presence in Spain’s national teams in recent months. Now all I have to do is finish my last call.
Meanwhile, he is considered one of the greatest discoveries of EA Sports’ La Liga, in which he starts every match day. Actually, He is the outfield player who has played the most minutes this season. and, if no sanctions are applied or damage is caused, will continue the plenary session. A resounding success for Valencia, which celebrates this event. He signed him for five million euros from the Second Division. and it became the real deal.
Hugo Duro variants
Another big name that Valencia fans are clamoring for is Hugo Duro, who This season he has eleven goals and two assists. and that he could well have competed for the title of top scorer in the country if he had converted the penalty. It is a priori more difficult for the forward, although injuries open up opportunities for him.
Despite this, Baraja’s work and Valencia’s superb performance in what has looked like a difficult year may have the ultimate prize of retaining a place in the national team. A place that José Luis Gaya already treasures for its merits and honors and which he will soon be able to share. Pepelo on Luis de la Fuente’s preliminary list.
