UEFA European Under-21. The analysis of the Rojita (goalies and defenses)

Now that the Red has gone on vacation, it's Rojita which demands our attention. Saturday debut against England at Under-21 European Championship in Denmark, where we seek to proclaim continental champion or at least get a ticket for that Spanish football is represented in the 2012 Olympics, something that would only being in the top three .

The boys trained by Luis Milla are favorites. In terms of names, at least, the Spanish sub-21 is a major tournament since it has top players in all lines. Will have to see how they develop in the championship and, especially, if shown to have the mind set only in Denmark or some walk thinking too clueless to solve their immediate future in football clubs.

A day to start this European 2011, Football Notes took the opportunity to review one by one to the 23 called for the Rojita.

Goalkeepers: A red devil on the goal?

David de Gea

Is called to be the successor to Iker Casillas in the senior team, the goalkeeper of the future. However, talking about a kid who still has many things to learn to reach the top. Denmark has a great opportunity for growth. At Atletico has demonstrated some very good qualities, in fact, De Gea needs no introduction, "but security must improve and not remain as a goalkeeper resuelvepartidos sporadic. It seems clear that next season will play at Old Trafford, which would be an important step in his career but has yet to confirm his move to Manchester United. Despite being a goalie, it can be considered as one of the great figures of the Spanish team.

Rubén Miño and Diego Mariño

In theory, only minutes if Spain would solve your pass to the semifinals on the second day or if De Gea is injured, fail or not right. The first difference is that now, both have their clubs closed over: Miño, with Victor Valdes in the Barcelona FC and Marino, with Diego Lopez in the Villarreal. Nevertheless, for example, has been with Barça Miño in such extraordinary events as a Club World and came to participate in a Super Cup in Spain. This year has had the confidence of Luis Enrique in the subsidiary and has been fine. Despite some high-profile action, is not considered a parapenaltis. In Marin, we emphasize that this course was second followed 295 minutes without conceding a goal.

Defenders: Young Spanish in Europe

Mikel San Jose

The central Athletic, despite his youth, has already experienced the wonderful experience of playing abroad. Nothing less than a club like Liverpool, where he left the reservations team and coached by Rafa Benitez orders. Highlighted as in Bilbao were not satisfied with their assignment but insisted to buy it back at all. He himself acknowledges that it must improve some specific failures when defending, but Joaquin Caparros has given minutes this year and has earned a place in the cathedral, although he has had back problems that prevented him from being one hundred percent.

Álvaro Domínguez

This campaign has not lived up to the previous one, when he jumped and excelled at the same time De Gea. Among other things, for its initial performance is not satisfied with Quique Sanchez Flores and the coach made him disappear from the eleven. Is central, but can also act as a left. Goes well overlooked, although not very fast and, therefore, must try to anticipate most opponents. If yields to their highest level, no doubt to be a fixture in the rear of the Sub-21. The truth is that you need continuity and a club like Atletico, where almost everything is confusion and the defense looks very closely, its stability is shaky. Very positive experience that won last year in its European tour happy with Atletico.

And José Ángel Alberto Botia

What best introduction to say that both girls are pursued by the powerful FC Barcelona to strengthen his squad. For Botía, belonged to a subsidiary of Barcelona and the club let him go to Sporting pocketing an option now seems to run. Of course there are rumors that say the central begin operations as the attempt to sign Cesc Fabregas, and anygossip can affect the concentration of the player. His good work in Gijón has not gone unnoticed and Barcelona is not the only one interested. Nor is the only Gijon Botía that can end in Barcelona, ​​one is José Ángel (or Cote) a long distance left side, moreover, is a physical marvel. Fast, good shot and talent. In practice, a veteran of 21 years. Dizziness product.

César Azpilicueta

Tajonar footballing raised in, and after several years competing with Osasuna First, the young right back and knows what is playing out of Spain. In 2010 he transferred to Olympique Marseille, but the defense has said it wants to return to La Liga and sounds as possible reinforcement for clubs such as Malaga, Valencia and Bilbao. The truth is that Azpilicueta, a guarantee on the side, just out of a serious left knee injury that has made ​​him miss the season in France. Even if Miller has been included in the list for the European it is not fully recovered. Shortly before his injury, he was part of Del Bosque preselected to contest the 2010 World Cup, but ultimately did not join.

Victor Ruiz and Didac Vila

Both left the Espanyol in the last Winter Market, heading to Italy. Not that I did not count for Mauricio Pochettino, quite the contrary, men were important. Victor Ruiz went to Naples in exchange for 6 million euros, a considerable figure. The center, which passed through the inner ranks of FC Barcelona before joining the whole parrot, seems to be a new object of desire of the club Catalans. It's just a rumor, but confirmed by the Naples club's sporting director. The truth is that completed a first half of fine campaign with Espanyol. The same Vilà. The result of this, the AC Milan got their eyes on the left-back and paid about 4 million to take him. After a few months in Lombardy, faces the immediate future the European seal: he will play next season on loan where home is, Montjuïc, which left lane is safe.

Martin Montoya

Recently the right side of Barcelona B played with the U-21. Specifically, it was in February, in a friendly against Denmark. A few days later he made his first team of FC Barcelona, ​​Mallorca, and later he started against Real Sociedad with bad luck he suffered a left shoulder injury and had surgery. With Barca subsidiary, has been undisputed throughout the season in second division. And now it is related to quality equipment, such as Mallorca or, more strength, Real Betis, at his club, the right wing has a clear owner, Dani Alves. Far from worrying about their future, Montoya should focus on Eastern Europe, the best possible showcase.
