Monreal Jesus Navas and return to the Spanish. Soldier will have to wait

Vicente Del Bosque on Monday made ​​known the list of 23 players who will play friendly matches against England (November 12) and Costa Rica (November 15), both at home. A list that highlights the return of two old acquaintances: Jesus Navas and Monreal. On the flip side, Thiago drops the call with a mission to help the sub-21, while others waited for their opportunity, as a Soldier, will have to continue working.

Although the Spanish block is clearly established, and all in a rush could say the names of 17 or 18 players who will be safe in the Euro 2012 if injuries allow it, there are a couple of positions still have questions. We talked on the left side and front.

To the left of the rear band, Jordi Alba repeats call. In his debut against Scotland more than fulfilled , and although recently more advanced Emery puts in Valencia, Del Bosque is confident in it. The same goes for Monreal, an intermittent player calls for Vincent. Again have a chance, even though at Malaga remains a struggle for the post with Eliseu. Personally, I would like to see these parties were given an opportunity to other candidates for the post that could be interesting. I mean Liverpool Jose Enrique and José Angel of Rome.

Another place with many questions is the center forward. The only indisputable at this position appear to be David Villa and Fernando Llorente. As for Fernando Torres, the call always raises controversy among the fans, although it seems another almost fixed for Ukraine and Poland. But who will accompany you? Negredo is the one that seems more options today, but an injury prevents you from being present on this call. Hence, several forecasts Soldier placed on the list. Adrian also talked about Atletico Madrid-anything rash, for my taste. When Del Bosque has been asked by both players, has responded by appointing others as David Barral and Agirretxe as possible candidates. I am convinced that neither has the slightest chance of going to a call to Spain, but it was the way that Del Bosque wanted to get away from the discussion Soldier.

If we assume that Villa, Llorente and Torres are three fixed to the Euro, as much a job is more to a striker. Surely that would Negredo, and while waiting for him to recover did not want to feed future discussions with the call for Soldier. Instead, they preferred to recover a Jesus Navas that although it remains at its highest level, always synonymous with danger. That is another option which already took place in the World Cup in South Africa: call only three strikers and midfielders to fill the list with versatile, they can navigate comfortably on the attack. I speak of self-Navas, Silva, Mata ... It's the good thing about this Spanish team beyond its game: it has a richness and variety of options that no other country can boast.
