De la Fuente reveals part of his plans for the Euros, with Pedri in the spotlight

Luis de la Fuente He sits in the living room for several hours Luis Aragones reveal a list that will not be final of 26 Euro players. The process, which began in March 2023 with the victory over Norway V Rose garden This culminates in this election. But not completely. At the event where the list will be announced, three European champions will be next to De la Fuente. Iribar (1964), Capdevila (2008) and Fernando Torres (2008 and 2012) They will represent the three Eurocups that Spanish football is proud of.

On this way, From the source He has formed the team to such an extent that at the Euro gates there are practically no questions about the choice of players. Between the strength of the created and the defectiveness Isco, the Spanish lineup in search of a fourth star is very clear. There are only a couple of positions left between the real questions.

Despite this, the coach made a last-minute turn. He planned to give away the final 26, but ultimately decided to expand the roster and cut it later.

At this point you come with your name as a great intrigue. One of Pedri. A season full of problems puts his presence in doubt, although the coach always said that he would wait for him. Part of this plan to call up 29 to 31 players is due to doubts in the interior. Because in the other lines there is almost none of him, except for injuries.

Goal: Everything is clear

Unai Simon, David Raia and Alex Remiro They will be the defenders of the Spanish goal at the Euro. A fall Kepa In Madrid, he opened a gap and the Real Sociedad goalkeeper appeared. Undisputed ownership of Unai.

“2”: Carvajal and Navas

Two players whose faces light up when the national team comes their way. Carvajal and Navas are the masters of a team that lacks abundance. Lucas Vazquez He is an option if problems arise, ahead of Pedro Porro.

Nacho completes the quartet

The Madrid captain’s fine end to the season was great news for the coach, who had been waiting for him for a long time. Nacho joins Le Normand, Laporte and Kubarsi. It also gives you a player in any position at the back, which opens up more options up front. The applicant can enter there.

“3”: again without Guy

Tragedy Guy repeats itself. He played in the last Euro and was injured in the only game he played (Croatia). At the World Championships he fell after being shortlisted. But this time, injuries deprived him of even the opportunity to get on the list and sent him to the operating room.

Against, Grimaldo This season he destroyed everything in his path. In Spain he will have a more academic role as a defender than at Leverkusen. Cucurellanotable match against Brazil, is a response to Guy’s injury in a position in which, if Fran Garcia I would get Lucas Vazquez’s premises in Madrid…

Rodri and Zubimendi

Untouchable from the first minute of the De la Fuente era. Rodri is the absolute leader of the team. Zubimendi He finished the season without playing, but it was always clear that he would come, that there was time and we would wait for him.

Pedri, Baena, Llorente, Fermin…

Question area. Isco was recorded as Merino and Fabian, but he broke his fibula. This opens up a gap in which Pedri loses positions and at the same time wins them on his side Fermin. The Canarian is most similar to Isco, but the manager will evaluate between this talent, his legs and the excellent energy of Baena, Sunset (touched), Fermin and Marcos Llorente, who flies and offers answers all over the field. And then there is Bryce, Fornals, Aleix Garcia…

There is no doubt that this is an area of ​​the field where the coach will have to think more carefully and weigh his decisions. Every time he is asked about Pedri, From the source He emphasized his talent… as well as his competence.

Bands: Ferran and Asensio

This is what the coach wants Ferran and Asensio. The national team understands that neither of them worked for their clubs in their home zone, and this punishes their performance. You blindly believe in both. IN Ferran You see Marco as a target and another player. They will be in the list in which Dani Olmo starts with the most stripes (whether on the wing, false nine or inside), Lamin Yamal and Nico Williams.

There is an open option Pablo Sarabia if Dani Olmo is chosen closer to the center of the field than to the striker.

Three pure nines

What is questionable for the Atlético Madrid captain is his confidence in the national team. There is not the slightest doubt about Moraboth for what he does on the field and for his duties as captain. Joselu This has been the bet since De la Fuente’s arrival, and it has done little more than burden the coach with reasons. Oyarzabal He is one of the Praetorians of Luis de la Fuente, who finds endless answers from the native of San Sebastian.

The one who missed the Euros due to a knee injury went to Borja Mayoralwhich was very well located for trips to Germany.

Road to Germany

Spain They will gather on Saturday the first to begin work ahead of the European Championships in Germany. The selection will work on the same day behind closed doors, and then those who will be called From the source They will sit together and watch the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. Three matches will be played at Wembley as part of the European Cup (Carvajal, Nacho and Joselu) plus two from the provisional list and warned through their club that they could be called up at some point (Lucas Vazquez and Fran Garcia).

IN Las RozasLuis de la Fuente will face questions over the presence of most of the 26 players UEFA allows for the final stage. He will have to undergo several training sessions to make a final decision.

This list of 26 can be changed to day 7, a week before the European premiere. From now on, a field player can only be replaced in the event of an injury confirmed by UEFA before each team’s first match. Goalkeepers may be replaced throughout the tournament due to injury.

There are two friendly matches on the route marked by the national team. The first one will be on the 5th. Badajoz. Spain will face this for the second time. Andorra after scoring 4-0 in Getafe before traveling to the Euros in Portugal in 2004. Low-profile opponents (164th in the FIFA rankings and 51st out of 55 European teams) were sought to break the training stand. In this match the players real Madridwho will be allowed to join the team upon their return from Badajoz, although the option to do so earlier remains open if they wish. Aymeric Laporte

The Saudi Cup final will take place on Friday.

Cut, June 7.

After the game against Andorra in Badajoz the team will spend the last day in Las Rozas. This will be the moment when From the source leave the call within 26 allowed. Friday, June 7, is the deadline set by UEFA, and on this day the Spanish team will leave their sports city and will not return.

On June 8 at 21:30, the same time as the first friendly match, Spain will face Northern Ireland in Palma de Mallorca. This will already be a dress rehearsal for what will await in a week: the premiere of the match against Croatia in Berlin.

The team will spend the night in the capital of the Balearic Islands, and on Sunday afternoon they will fly to Germany and take possession of its facilities: Der Oschberghof.

Monday the 10th will be the first day of training and the team will not go to Berlin until noon on the 14th, because training on the eve of the match with the Croats will be at home and not at the stadium. Olympic German capital.
