Luis de la Fuente made public this Friday the list of 24 footballers with whom Spain will play for access to next summer's Euro Cup in Germany. Although there will then be two games left in November, against Cyprus and Georgia, the team's ticket is at stake in these two October games (against Scotland in Seville on Thursday the 12th and against Norway in Oslo on Sunday the 15th).
Jesús Navas, Fran García (the Real Madrid full-back), Oihan Sancet (Athletic midfielder) and Oyarzabal are the new additions, few and of little brilliance, in a list where most of the protagonists repeat, which indicates, a priori, that Luis de la Fuente already has his block armed. There, the three goalkeepers, three of the four centre-backs, almost the entire midfield and almost the entire forward line repeat.
In reality, these changes are mostly motivated by injury.. Fran García comes in for the injured Gayá, and Oyarzabal and Sancet come in for Asensio and Olmo, who are permanent fixtures for the current coach.. Morata, Europe's star scorer at the start of the season, will be the starting forward.
With Albert Luque, singled out for his messages to a friend of Jenni Hermoso published by EL MUNDO, among those present in the room, Luis de la Fuente sat in front of journalists this Friday to talk about his list of 24 players for the national team. , but not only that. Having been summoned by Judge Francisco de Jorge to testify as a witness on October 20, we had to ask him about it.
“I don't know why they called me, I'm very calm. “I will go on the day they have summoned me, I will answer the questions they ask me and I will go home so happy,” he responded, while finishing off: “I'm great, thank God I'm very well.”. He knows that they are calling him because he was at a meeting that took place in Luis Rubiales' office on Wednesday, August 24, where the statement of the press officer of the women's team before the Department of Integrity was prepared.. Patricia Pérez, asked by the judge, offered the list of the people who were there and Luis de la Fuente must testify for it.
Beyond that, and far from the controversy that surrounded him in the September call-up, De la Fuente has said that it is time to “all work together and talk about football”. Speaking of football, he explained that Isco and Ramos are still eligible, a political way of saying that, at least in the second case, he will not return to the national team.. Isco does have some option for the future.
