De la Fuente’s men have gotten off to a good start in this Euro 2024 championship held in Germany, and after achieving their first victory in Berlin against Croatia, they have presented their candidacy to win the title in the best possible way.
A great first half saw Spain beat the Croatians, however now they face Italy, the current champion and an old acquaintance, being aware that they are a tough nut to crack. Looking ahead to the De la Fuente match, it is most likely that he will repeat the eleven that worked against Croatia.
BY: Unai Simon – The Athletic Club de Bilbao goalkeeper is set to defend the Spanish goal in the Euro Cup. Against Croatia he kept a clean sheet and a penalty was saved.
L.D.: Daniel Carvajal – It is evident that Daniel Carvajal is at an excellent level on the pitch and this is demonstrated every time he wears shorts. In the first matchday against Croatia he proved to be one of the best right backs in the world.
DFC: Nacho Fernandez – Laporte’s injury leads to Nacho Fernández and Le Normand being the centre-back pairing with which Spain plays against Italy in this Euro Cup. Against Croatia Nacho demonstrated hierarchy and is fit for great battles and Italy will be his litmus test.
DFC: Le Normand – The Real Sociedad central defender got along very well with Nacho Fernández in the center of the Spanish defense. Against Italy it is likely that they will repeat what went well for them.
L.I.: Cucurella – His call-up generated many doubts and everything indicated that Grimaldo was going to be the starter for that Spanish left back, but after starting from the beginning against Croatia and playing a great game, especially in defense, Cucurella is very likely to repeat the starting role against Italy .
DCM: Rodri – His discomfort will be what will be talked about the most these days but Rodri is ready and prepared to once again be the axis in the Spanish midfield. His presence improves Spain’s game and against Italy it will be key.
MC: Pedri – Both Pedri and Fabián will be the ones who accompany Rodri in the middle of the field. Pedri’s technical quality and his vision of the game will give an advantage to the ball play of De la Fuente’s Spanish team.
MC: Fabian – After scoring a great goal against Croatia and completing a match in which he was awarded man of the match, Fabián will be key against Italy.
ED: Lamine Yamal– He promises to be the revelation player of the Euro Cup and he showed it against Croatia. His ownership is indisputable and he will be one of the most important pieces in the attack against Italy.
EI: Nico Williams – Although he did not have a great performance against Crocias, Nico Williams will continue to be the starting left winger for the Spanish team against Italy. His ability to generate goals will give Spain an advantage when they go on the offensive.
D.C.: Alvaro Morata – The captain of the Spanish team is one hundred percent ready to face Italy. After suffering a blow to his knee against Croatia, Álvaro Morata cleared up any doubts and will be the reference in Spain’s attack against Italy.
