Déjà vu for the Spanish team of Luis de la Fuente. For the third consecutive year, the RED is confronted with a game with a crown on the game, sweet routine in which he lives under the leadership caused by the rise of Lamine Yamal, a deflagration of still unpredictable dimensions. The Barça Prodigy is the visible face of a young and shameless team, which is shot down by an Iberian game the third title in many other years with the Rioja coach in Command.
The generation transition is served with an opponent such as the Portugal of Cristiano Ronaldo, who, despite overcome them months ago, practiced the forty years ago as an offensive reference Portuguese. It is not much less the differential player from ten years ago, but his payroll as an international does not stop with increasing increase, up to 137, in a race in which Madeira has long remained alone.
The Portuguese records won his first gold ball in 2008, when Lamine Yamal, rival in this final of the League of Nations, had no year and a half. More than 22 separate the one and the other, who marked an era in football together with Lionel Messi and is called to determine the following decade. That is why the Portuguese, voice of experience, allowed the luxury to ask calmness with the new brightest star in the football company: “I ask them to let the boy grow calmly and not put pressure on him because talent does not miss, so that we can enjoy him for many years.”
The incompetent Christian, without the physical exuberance of his best days, acts as a ram in a combined under the leadership of the discussed Roberto Martínez, whose future hangs on a thread, even when the League of Nations is taken after the change in the chairmanship of the Portuguese Federation in favor of the former Pedro Preença. The Seleção Das Quinas reserves the helm roll on the grass for the possibly better midfielder, vitinha, a replacement for the start of Germany for the physical load of the Champions League final with the PSG, but able to run the semi -final in just half an hour.
His partner in the Parisian team Fabián Ruiz is in a similar situation and can be the great novelty of Spain for the final, because the good performance against France, with the blurring of the last quarter of one hour, invites continuity. The Sevillian midfielder could come in by Merino, who, however, played an important role in the semi -final, with a goal.
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, who signed Diana and assistance against Les Bleus and was another pillar of the victory, placed the Rock and Roll seal of a block in which Oyarzabal, maximum filmmaker in the era of the source, continues to be related to Morata, as it began.
Pedri’s Role
Beyond the names it can still be seen in the concrete location of Pedri, which varied during the game against the French team. With his goal, De la Fuente defended the idea of placing the Canarian as MediaPunta, 10, and not as a companion of the positional midfielder in the engine room, a role that has catapulted him with Barça this season. The coach understands that it is close to the area where the Tenerife can better use its progress in the definition and capacity for the last pass.
Already without tegueste on the grass and without the defensive experience of Le Normand, Spain became a shipwreck in the last quarter of the meeting against France, a bad drink that serves as a touch of attention to reduce the euphoria in a team that the defeat has no more than two years, when in March 2023 it fell in Scotland, in the second committee as a selection.
La Roja, in his best version of the Golden Age, places such a record in the game with the possibility of turning three titles in three years, something not published, even in the brightest times. The Iberian neighbor, with other arguments such as the champions of champions Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes, the Cityzens Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva, or Bruno Fernandes, separates Spain from a new celebration.
