A captain always is. And exercises as such, be in the Atlético de Madrid or in the Spanish team. Is what happens with Koke. The bracelet has been worn by the rojiblanco team since the start of Godin. But before that, he was already one of the heavyweights in the locker room. In the Spanish team he is the third with the most caps after Busquets Y Jordi Alba. But he has stripes, and he takes them out for a walk when he has the chance.
Monday night was the last time he did it. In an interview with the Cope, from the concentration of the National Team in the Ciudad de Fútbol de Las Rozas, where the Luis Enrique prepare the match against Slovakia, a final to continue in the Eurocup.
The mattress player was reminded of some controversial words from the former footballer from the Netherlands and of Cadiz origin Van der vaart, who said that “Spain is horrible. All they do is pass it from one place to another. They don't even have a player who knows how to give a definitive pass ”. In addition, he showed his desire for a match against the Spanish in the Eurocup.
Y Koke
picked up the glove. But to launch a right to the chin of the former soccer player Real Madrid
. Ironically, yes. “He wants his minute of glory and he's having it. I've seen him play a lot, especially in the World Cup final against Spain. We have here in the Federation a photo with Iniesta's goal that is next to him … ”, released the rojiblanco, with all the stripes in the world, to leave the Dutchman portrayed.
It is not the first time since he is with the National Team that Koke raises his voice. He did it after the draw on the first day against Sweden. “Many people do not trust us and that will make us stronger”, he assured. Some words that he had already pronounced in a similar way months before, with the Atlético de Madrid, when doubts arose around the rojiblanco team, which began to lose the advantage it had achieved since December with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Then, time ended up proving him right. And now he hopes the same will happen with the affront of Van der vaart, although what is clear is that Koke he has transferred to the Spanish team the stripes he has earned at Atlético de Madrid.
