Spain’s potential XI at the 2022 World Cup

Twelve years after their first and only world title, La Roja will seek to conquer a second star at the end of the year in Qatar and seems in any case armed to believe in it even if it is not the ultimate favorite. Focus on the Spanish XI with the expertise of LigNews.

The Spanish goalkeeper with 25 selections is becoming more and more a reliable last rampart within this Spanish selection and continues to progress, “especially in his kicking game” as our interlocutor confides in us. The Bilbao goalkeeper will be La Roja’s last bastion in Qatar.

If we once believed in the end of Dani Carvajal’s career due to regular physical glitches that did not leave him alone, the right side of Real Madrid has recovered and proved in particular during the last victorious campaign Real Madrid in the Champions League that he was not done with the high level. « On a cloud » as summed up LigNews.

The first link of« a hinge of the future« As our interlocutor likes to call it. The 25-year-old central defender gained ground at Villarreal by winning the C3 in particular and is establishing himself more and more as an indestructible player in the selection.

Aged 21, Eric Garcia symbolizes him even more the youth in which Luis Enrique places his confidence behind. The young Barcelona player can take a real step forward in his career this season with FC Barcelona which has everything to replay the leading roles on the European scene but especially during a 2022 World Cup where he will be able to explode his talent in the face. of the world.

« Less in light than Jordi Alba but much more reassuring and titular in his club, » sums up the Twitter account for us LigNews. Valencia’s situation should therefore not serve a more reliable Jose Gaya personally than a declining Jordi Alba on the verge of being replaced at Barcelona.

No need to elaborate much. From the height of his 19 years, Pedri has already made everyone agree and has established himself as one of the great players of the current decade. This World Cup will be the perfect opportunity to confirm the extent of his talent in the eyes of the football world.

« The best in the world at number 6 with Rodri, sparkling with understanding of the game under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.« It’s hard to sum up Rodri any better than he does. LigNews. The Spanish international has taken on a crazy dimension since his transfer to the Skyblues and can still claim a season rich in success.

He has only just turned 18 but forms a combination with Pedri « as talented as technical » and « indisputable » which goes perfectly with the physical dimension imposed by Rodri. We have one of the best midfielders in the competition with these three.

« Sarabia although very little used at club level has shown Luis Enrique that he is a reliable and successful player with La Roja in the games that matter,“says our specialist. The Parisian striker cannot indeed claim a lot of playing time, already monopolized by the MNM, at PSG but still remains a reliable element in selection with his 9 goals in 22 caps.

He is not an example of absolute confidence either, but nevertheless holds that of his coach, Luis Enrique. « Morata is the most used player by the coach under his tenure and despite his failures he understands the movements of the game set up, » reassures LigActu about him. The man with 26 goals in 56 caps will once again be the spearhead of La Roja in international competition.

« Finally on the left the absence of Real Sociedad crack Mikel Oyarzabal is felt but we are betting on Ferran Torres, lacking in confidence at Barça but very good in small spaces, he has for him to have already played a certain number of matches with many players present in this eleven, which will bring fluidity to the game.« 

An attack not necessarily in the best conditions in the club, but who knows what strengths to rely on in selection and will play on his good understanding, a polished game and a caviar environment to cause problems for opposing defenders.
