The best Koke he's back. It's not that he left, because players of his stature are always there, but the truth is that the captain of the Atlético de Madrid going through a great time. Something that has been verified in the last matches of the rojiblancos team and also in the two recent commitments of the Spanish team and that could motivate men like Saul.
Because a year later, the Vallecano received the call from the national team again, being one of the surprises on the list of Luis Enrique. He started in the friendly against the Netherlands in Amsterdam, completing a great match. And although he was a substitute in Switzerland on Saturday, the coach “pulled” him in the second half, when Spain fell 1-0.
They were the best moments of the national team, which also appreciated the entry of Morata Y GerardWell, up to now, the team was playing without offensive reference, without '9'. Luis Enrique placed Koke in the place he was occupying Busquets, that is to say, '5'. And the vallecano complied perfectly.
His was a great pass that left only Morata before Sommer and that ended in a clear penalty against the striker that Atlético has on loan to Juventus. The red and white connection worked, although later Sergio Ramos he missed the maximum penalty, the second of the night.
Koke he has recovered his best version at Atlético and, with that, is once again important for Spain. The National Team will play the pass to the final-four on Tuesday against Germany. And seeing the performance he has offered, it would not be strange to see him in the starting eleven in that vital commitment for Luis Enrique's men, who are only worth victory to achieve their goal.
