The bets what Luis Enrique has been doing during the Eurocup they are going well. The rotation in the team is total, and alone Unai Simon Y Pedri they have played every minute. Except in the goal, there have been changes in all the lines and he has managed to make everyone perform: he has 24 players and a very involved team.
Azpilicueta. Luis Enrique came up with the idea of playing with Marcos Llorente placeholder image from side right. He did so during the first two games. Faced with criticism for delaying the position of the top scorer and attacker midfielder in the National Team, the Asturian removed him from the team and put Azpilicueta. The Navarrese has participated in the two goals, to Slovakia and Croatia, and, nine years after his debut, he has made his debut as a scorer.
Morata. The insistence of the coach with the Juventus center forward has had prize. Morata was not successful in all three group stage games, but in the first round was uncovered with a great game against Croatia. It is true that you have enjoyed the trust of the selectedr, what has given a credit which Gerard Moreno has not yet enjoyed, relegated to the band and out of his usual zone.
Pedri. The faith that Luis Enrique professes in him is evident in that he is the the only untouchable with Unai Simón. He has played it all and also well, but still more is expected of him. The comparison that is made with Andrés Iniesta does not favor him, but despite his youth, 18 years, he has barely made mistakes beyond the long assignment to Unai Simón that ended with the clamorous chant of the goalkeeper.
Busquets. It is another of the players-reference in order to Luis Enrique. The coach was criticized for saving his place despite the fact that the culé was infected with coronavirus and lost all the concentration prior to the Eurocup in Las Rozas, in addition to the first match of Spain in the tournament against Sweden. Conclusion: has been chosen MVP in two games. The middle line has been consolidated with the axis formed by Koke, Busquets and Pedri. Thiago came off the bench against Sweden and Slovakia.
Gayà. Jordi Alba, the only remaining champion in the National Team along with Busquets, played the first three games and did so at a high level. But the appearance of Gayà in the third it has been an event. The Valencian player showed that it does not have an end, that he can raise the band as many times as required and that It is vertical and reaching. A great solution for Spain, which is coming up the sides.
Laporte. Luis Enrique removed Rome with Santiago to get the Federation to expedite the nationalization of Laporte. The bet staggered in the game against Poland, when Lewandowski won the position and scored the tying goal in Seville. But the Asturian insisted (the one who changed was Pau Torres) and Laporte has regained confidence and has even scored a goal.
Sarabia. It started as revulsive, behind the titular bands (Ferran and Olmo) but has done with the post because have what did not appear: a lot of goal. It is not strange that a player who covers minutes for Neymar and Mbappé is a starter in the National Team, rather it would be if it were the other way around. Is full. Very fast and vertical. A dagger for Spain.
