Not long ago the international stops hardly affected Eibar beyond being a week without official competition. Now, instead, several of its players have been summoned to represent their country.
This course Jose Luis Mendilibar He has at his disposal a template with the 25 professional files covered and he always says that he prefers to work with 22 or 23 personnel. Therefore, even though Alexander well Y Bryan gil are concentrated with the Spanish U21 team and that Marko dmitrovic He has gone with Serbia, the Zaldibar coach still has a large group. Further, Anaitz Arbilla He will play on Monday from 8:45 p.m. with the Euskal Selekzioa in Ipurua against Costa Rica, so he has been able to exercise with his teammates this week.
Mixed luck
The three gunsmiths who are not in Eibar had appointments yesterday. Water well Y Gil They completed the 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands and both stood out. The right-handed winger wore the captain's armband and frequently joined the attack sending dangerous crosses, while the left-handed winger created a lot of problems behind the rival because almost all the offensive actions went through his boots. For its part, Dmitrovic was left on the bench in the Balkans' penalty shootout loss to Scotland in Belgrade that leaves them without a European Championship.
Spain under 21 already has the ticket for the continental tournament to be played in Hungary and Slovenia, distributed between March 24 and 31 in its first phase and from May 31 to June 6 in its final phase. The team led by Luis de la Fuente Israel will be measured on Tuesday, again in Marbella, to close the qualifying phase and the Catalans on loan from Sevilla will have the last test to earn a place on the final list.
Serbia will face two Nations League B League matches with last night's disappointment. On Sunday he will visit Hungary and on Wednesday he will host Russia.
Kadzior decides to stay
Eibar paid two million euros to Dinamo Zagreb to sign Damian Kadzior until 2023. This was the only operation for which the gunsmith club had to pay a transfer in the past summer market since the other five reinforcements arrived on loan.
At the moment, its performance is not being as expected. He has played 113 minutes spread over five games and has only started once. Taking into account this situation, the Pole has chosen to give up leaving with his team, as he did two calls ago when he took the opportunity to recover in Ipurua from physical discomfort, and continue with his process of adaptation to the team.
In an appearance before the media Mendilibar, who is often reluctant to trust the new recruits, said that his new signing did not know the language well, while in other cases he is not so clear in his message. We will see if as time goes by he assimilates the concepts that the Biscayan coach asks of him and manages to convince him that he can have more prominence.
