Campaña and Adama Traoré are already international. The players from Levante and Wolverhampton made their debut on Wednesday night against Portugal in the friendly prior to two new rounds of the Nations League. Neither was a starter. The midfielder entered the break, replacing Dani Ceballos. The attacker did the same in the 61st minute, relieving Sergio Canales.
In Adama's case, He has made his debut in what is his third call-up with the national team. In the first, he had to leave with a muscle injury. In the second, he tested positive in England, abandoned the concentration, tested negative, returned, but had to leave due to an abnormal result in the last PCR. The footballer deeply regretted what happened, but now football rewards him with his long-awaited premiere with the Absolute. In the minutes he had, he was brilliant, he did not stop facing, but he lacked the opportunity to open the scoring.
For its part, Campaign has been rewarded for its work of being the baton of a daring team like Levante. In the last hours, it has even sounded for Atlético de Madrid to replace Thomas. During the match, he showed his usual charisma and played a leading role in the offensive football of the National Team.
With these two debuts, the coach has already accumulated 14 in his career in the national team: Ceballos, Jonny Otto, Mario Hermoso, Brais Méndez, Pau López, Gayá, Ansu Fati, Óscar Rodríguez, Mikel Merino, Ferran, Eric García, Reguilón and the aforementioned Campaña and Adama.
Campaign: “Luis Enrique told me to go and that's what I intend to do”
Premiere with Spain: “It is very exciting to wear your country's jersey, it is very exciting. Too bad we didn't get the victory, but I'm happy for the debut.”
Deserved draw: “There have been phases in which the team has been better and in others in which we have suffered more. They in the transitions are very difficult to control and thus they have achieved danger and chances. The result is fair.”
Luis Enrique: “Since I arrived he gave me confidence, he told me to be calm, that they have followed me for a long time and that if I was here it is because I was doing things well. This is different from my team. He told me to be me and that is what I pretend to be. “
