The lists of the Eurocopa that are already known reveal the last minute effort that the selectors are making to be able to have the best of what they have. And that, in some cases, means calling footballers who just a few days ago were unexpected. The Eurocup is decked out to receive players who were not intuited and who give the tournament an even greater dimension. These are some of the most prominent so far:
Karim Benzema (France)
The big surprise from Didier Deschamps' list. He had not gone to France for six years as a result of the 'sex tape' scandal that he starred in with Valbuena. However, his extraordinary level at Madrid has made the coach have had to back down and count on him again. His presence gives France even more potential, which will be able to join Griezmann, Mbappé and him.
Thomas Müller (Germany)
He was removed from the national team after the 2018 World Cup to make way for younger players. In Germany a great debate was generated as soon as the Bayern footballer began to score goals and give assists, something that made it untenable that he was not called by Löw. Finally, and right in the last call, the coach decided to incorporate him to a team that is better with him.
Mats Hummels (Germany)
Another of those reviled by Löw in his attempt to make a generational change in the German team. World champion like Müller, the coach has also had to pull him in view of the innumerable defensive problems that Germany has offered in the preparation for the Euro, including that 6-1 that Spain endorsed him in Seville.
Aymeric Laporte (Spain)
The call is not yet official, but Luis Enrique's desire to nationalize him and the confirmation of this fact in the BOE indicate that he will be called by Spain. He played in all the lower categories of France and has become one of the best center-backs in the Premier, but he did not make his debut with the French absolute and that allowed him to make the leap to the Red.
Jamal Musiala (Germany)
England and Germany fought for him as soon as he emerged at Bayern and it became known that he could play with both teams. Finally, the fine midfielder chose the Mannschaft and will be one more option in attack for Löw. He has broken all precociousness records in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League with Bayern, and he is a guarantee for the future.
Jules Koundé (France)
He had never been called up by the absolute French, but his great season at Sevilla makes him worthy of a call that gives even more luster to the powerful French team. His current space still looked like the U-21, especially in the face of the great level of centrals in the absolute, but Deschamps did not want to wait any longer and has called him up.
Billy Gilmour (Scotland)
Considered one of the great promises of the Chelsea quarry, he has left a very good feeling every time he has had minutes with the Stamford Bridge team. In this way, without even having debuted with the senior team, Scotland calls him for the Eurocup and gives more level to his midfield for the tournament.
