Of the many virtues and lessons that the Spanish team in the Eurocup, there is one that can be transferred to Spanish and in the case of the right back, without a doubt the most populated and uncertain position of the squad. Players like Pedri or Eric García, barely 18 years old, managed to settle in the starting team of Luis Enrique, especially the first, which proved once again that the age is not an impediment, that the key is in the courage of the coach if he considers that his moment has come.
Something like that occurs in the platoon of the right back, where it will happen that the young Omar El Hilali, 17 years old, may have a chance in preseason to earn a crowded position. Nobody doubts in the club that the footballer who it already debuted last year With the first team (Albacete and Alcorcón) he has a great projection and that can become one of the best assets of the quarry.
The three right-backs of the first team have peculiarities this summer. Óscar Gil will travel to Japan next Tuesday to play the Olympic Games from the 21st. His stay in the Asian country will depend on the evolution of Luis de la Fuente's team. In the best of cases for the National Team, the footballer would be in Tokyo until August 9; at worst, it would not return until the end of the first phase, as of August 1. It is impossible, therefore, that Gil competes in the preseason and that he can start the championship.

Another scenario: between the first team or a loan
The second on board, by minutes the previous year, is Miguel Llambrich, operated at the end of February for a tear in the anterior rectus of the left leg and that, while waiting to know the precise information of his recovery, the coaching staff will go with lead feet so that there are no risks in his return to the competition.
The third on the list, discard last year, when it was loaned to Mirandés, is Victor Gomez. As Francisco Rufete, sports director, already commented in the interview with AS, It would be necessary to analyze their situation and it would be the coach who would decide, but a new transfer or even a sale is not ruled out if a good offer arrives taking into account that the club needs to lower its salary limit with movements in the market. He and Omar will fight for the first minutes of the preseason, and it will be Vicente Moreno and the maneuvers that unblock the parakeet market that decide.
In the case of Omar, and waiting to know what his role will finally be in the first team, the sports management could assess a loan to a Second A or a First RFEF as long as the footballer competes in categories in which he has already shown himself to be ready. All this will depend on a preseason in which the Moroccan player already with Spanish nationality will have his great opportunity.
