The last two European Football Championships have been submitted to the Spanish national team. At the 2014 World Cup, the Spaniards were unable to qualify from the group. Now, at UEFA EURO 2016, footballers will have to rehabilitate themselves for a failure two years ago. The composition of the Spanish national team allows us to hope to achieve the desired result.
The Spanish football team has gone through a generational change in its national team. The national team at UEFA EURO 2016 includes players who were not previous world and European champions, but this circumstance does not allow us to speak about the deterioration of affairs in Spanish football. New stars of this sport appear on the football horizon.
Ten days before the main football start of the biennium, the Spanish national team unveiled their 23-player squad. These, of course, include those leaders who have reached heights in European and world arenas. New names of footballers have been added to them, from whom much is expected for the upcoming EURO.
The Spanish goalkeeper line is very strong. Here are world-class footballers: Iker Casillas (Porto), David de Gea (Manchester United), as well as Sevilla goal guard Sergio Rico.
In the defense of the Spanish national team, the largest number of representatives of the Catalan “Barcelona”: Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and Marc Bartra. Not without the current captain of Real Madrid Sergio Ramos in the national team. In addition to them, defenders at Euro 2016 announced: Hector Bellerin (Arsenal), Cesar Aspilicata (Chelsea), Juanfran (Atlético) and Mikel San Jose, representing Athletic from Bilbao.
In the midfield of the team, the duo from Barcelona - Sergio Busquets and the best player of the past EURO Andreas Iniesta. There are also legionnaires here: Thiago Alcantara (Bayern), David Silva (Manchester City), Pedro and Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea). They were joined by midfielders Bruno Soriano and Coque, playing for Villarreal and Atletico Madrid, respectively.
The Spanish offensive line does not look as formidable as many fans would like. But even here there are worthy footballers who occupy leading roles in top clubs. Juventus delegated Alvaro Morata to the tournament. In addition to him, Spain's Nolito (Celta de Vigo), Aritz Aduris (Athletic) and the talented Real Madrid striker Lucas Vasquez are on the offensive.
