The second goalkeeper

Gone are endless debates about the appropriateness of Spain had in their selection with Victor Valdés, the goalkeeper of Barcelona champion of everything. Victor went to South Africa with World Casillas and Reina at the expense of Diego Lopez to be part of what would become world champion. Today, Vicente Del Bosque is clear the name of the three goalkeepers that are part of their calls: same as Africa attended the meeting. With Casillas as the undisputed number one choice, the question is to know who would be his replacement in case of injury or punishment of the captain.

Undisputed bulwark whole Liverpool, Queen also praised his ability to group role can also play from the position of third goalkeeper. Whenever it seems clear that assumes no problems Valdes Casillas owns indisputable, since there is no debate on the possible controversy that could lead to their presence. Neither the alleged bad relationship with Queen since the two coincide in the quarry Barca settled by the same people. Whether true or not, both correctly advocate professionalism.

Del Bosque has played the dismissal since Spain beat the Netherlands in the final, handing the minutes in friendlies and ranked second in official matches. Thus, Valdes played against Scotland when the classification was in the pocket as well as friendlies against Venezuela and Italy, while Queen played last Saturday against England and also in the friendly against Chile and the United States. At Anfield goal he weighed his bad game at the Monumental from a year ago when Spain beat Argentina 4-0, but it remains important piece of the team of Kenny Dalglish and fixed for Del Bosque.

I've never been a staunch supporter of Victor Valdes, and the number of zamora conquered seems innocuous when assessing the merits of a porter, it is an award that depends more on the skill of the goalkeeper's defense: that of porters stayed with Benji unbeatable champion. However, the evolution that has seen the Barca goal in recent seasons has been spectacular, and one goalie capable of the best and the worst has given way to a safe and confident goalkeeper can bail out the team in the few occasions when it is surpassed. With the selection has been demonstrated also in the five caps accumulated to date. Today, Valdes has exceeded Queen and is postulated as one of the best goalkeepers in the continent.

With his mouth bigger or smaller, many argue Victor even as head of the selection. When the debate was more heated, Casillas was commissioned in the field to tackle the issue starring in a big world. Costa Rica today to meet its international game number 127 as a record surpassing Zubizarreta with only thirty years, and unless unexpected setback will be the starter in the Championship of Ukraine and Poland. The question is to know who will get the gloves in the event of mishap. Only Del Bosque knows. Or not.
