Luis Enrique closely follows Toni Martínez

Luis Enrique will take advantage of the friendly in view of Albania e Iceland, which will be played on March 26 and 29, to test new players in the senior team. One of the footballers closely followed by the National Team’s coaching staff is Tony Martinezstriker of Port. His call would be one of the surprises that the coach usually introduces in his calls.

Antonio Martinez Lopez He was born in Barrio del Progreso (Murcia). He is a forward trained in the quarry of the Valencia that at 24 years old he has been a football globetrotter. Since he left the Mestalla he has played in the West Hamfrom where it was loaned to Oxford United, Valladolid, Lugo and Rayo Majadahondto. He arrived with the letter of freedom to the Famelicao and signed him Port in 2020.

Toni Martínez’s performances have not gone unnoticed by Luis Enrique’s coaching staff and he could be one of the surprises for the friendlies against Albania and Iceland that are played in Barcelona and La Coruña. There have been reports of Toni Martínez in the RFEF for years because he was international U-17, U-18 and U-19 with Spain. In addition, he was in the pre-list for the last Olympic Games.

Luis Enrique likes to surprise in calls as he did when he called Abel Ruiz or to own Robert Sanchez as the third goalkeeper. And in all the lists he usually puts something new. For these two friendlies he will test a player and at the same time keep his eye on him. In addition to the return of Pedri, absent from the absolute since the European Championship because he has been injured, the return of Adama Traoré is expected, who was also not on the last list that has returned like a cannon to LaLiga.

the sevillian fabian he is performing again at Napoli, but, in principle, it does not seem that he is going to return to the National Team. From the hard core of Luis Enrique’s Spain formed by the Unai Simón, De Gea, Robert Sánchez, Laporte, Alba, Gayà, Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres, Pablo Sarabia, Busquets, Rodri, Laporte or Morata there won’t be many absences, except perhaps for Boil and some who may also be left out due to some physical problem.
