Lewis
Enrique
Martinez sarcastically accepts the eternal debate of the goal of the Spanish team, enlivened since the legend of Iker
Boxes, but he silences it with a decision that he gives continuity to. By voice, he leaves the possibilities open to his three goalkeepers. In the field, your bet on Unai
Simon is clear.
The seventh consecutive ownership of Unai with Spain it confirms it. Throwing a different message on the first trial for the Eurocup, in view of Portugal at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, it would have done nothing but increase the pressure of a debate that does not find calm.
The irregular level of the goalkeeper Athletic
Club at the end of the season, it would reopen the options of David
from
Gea but Lewis
Enrique delivered gallons to Unai . “I thought that the debate on the goal was liked by the names but I see that what puts you is the demarcation”, launched the coach to the press on the eve of the first test on the way to the Euro.
Lewis
Enrique knows who is the chosen one, no matter how much he encourages the competition and tries to involve From
Gea Y Robert
Sanchez, the last to join the Spanish team and who will have a few minutes on Tuesday before Lithuania to debut as international. The route plan was that the debut would occur before Portugal. In the last ten minutes. But some cramps in the legs of Aymeric
Laporte changed course as there were no more substitutions left and having to enter Diego
Llorente.
Holder since November 2020
When Lewis
Enrique gave the alternative to Unai
Simon surprised everyone. The race of From
Gea in the absolute has been like a trip on a roller coaster and the one that had to retake the witness of Boxes After his brilliant passage through the lower categories, he never signed a good tournament despite having the confidence of the coaches. His World Cup in Russia did not take its toll with the arrival of a new coach, but finally the changing of the guard was carried out on November 11, 2020.
Since that first ownership of Unai
Simon, the Basque goalkeeper has always started each match of the national team. The game with the feet is a point in their favor for Lewis
Enrique, despite the fact that he exhibits so much confidence that he puts the heart in a fist to all of Spain at some point in each game. “The pressure can never me, not in the field,” he says with an iron shell.
The pressure can never me
And it shows it on the grass. Despite the fact that this excess of confidence plays a trick on him, as happened in the error before Kosovo that resurrected the goalkeeping debate, not only with From
Gea. A bad start in that match at La Cartuja on March 31, cost a goal and served as a warning for a great tournament. In the Eurocup those kinds of mistakes take their toll on you.
It had been the last meeting of Spain before concentrating for the Eurocup. Did not influence Lewis
Enrique, with a clear course, much less in Unai. Showing cold blood, he left a cut in the small area under the pressure of a striker from Portugal and a few meters from Christian.
“What I like the most is his personality, that a possible failure will not condition him to continue playing,” he said. Lewis
Enrique who always seeks to generate superiority from the start of play with a goalkeeper who takes risks with his feet.
Seven consecutive starts
TO Spain He has one game left before starting the great challenge of reigning in Europe again and becoming the first team to win four Euro Cups. Until then Unai He starts as a great favorite for the position, he has seven consecutive starts, all his games as an international, and five goals conceded. He never received more than one goal per game and with Portugal, managed to clear his goal on two occasions.
