Last Friday, after 12:30 a.m., From the source Answering the first question of the tour, in which he called for the matches against Scotland and Norway, he made the following warning: “The preliminary list does not exclude those who are not there. It would be much easier to shortlist 300 players. There are very good players. I won’t talk about what wasn’t there. Unfortunately, there are some that must be left out. “I encourage you to keep working to be here.”
Bryan Zaragoza is the last person to join
When I said that, I probably didn’t mean Granada winger Bryan Zaragoza from Malaga, who scored three goals at the start of the day. However, at 22.30 on Sunday, the player from Haro, who confirmed the absence of Villarreal winger Yéremy Pino, surrendered to the game he had just watched with the young striker. against Barcelona, which he destroyed with his street courage.
After scoring in the 15th second, he went past Koundé, one of LaLiga’s best centre-backs, to score his second goal from outside against Ter Stegen. square football. It’s no surprise that midway through the second half, Ronald Araujo jokingly told him: “You bastard, don’t run away anymore.”
He continued to run and was about to score the third goal, but the post saved Barça. At the end of the match, he was chosen as the best player of the match and made his mark on the microphones: “This is why I play football, not to chase the ball. I learned this on the street.”
Which forwards played in Spain?
This 1.64-tall winger, who started playing for Tiro Pichón and CD Conejito teams from Malaga, played for Valladolid and Betis teams, but was rejected due to lack of room in the dormitory and eventually joined Granada’s youth team. And Bryan becomes the 18th forward Luis de la Fuente has called up since becoming senior coach.
Álvaro Morata, Marco Asensio, Joselu, Rodrigo Moreno, Nico Williams, Dani Olmo, Yeremy Pino, Ansu Fati, Sergio Canales, Bryan Gil, Ferran Torres, Mikel Oyarzabal, Iago Aspas, Gerard Moreno, Abel Ruiz, Lamine Yamal, Borja Iglesias, Bryan Zaragoza… Players of all possible profiles for an attack where Haro looks for verticality and arrival.
Field forwards like Álvaro Morata, Joselu, Gerard Moreno, Borja Iglesias or Abel Ruiz. False nines like Iago Aspas, Mikel Oyarzabal, Sergio Canales who have a goal that can give the final pass and a lot of evocative power. The second forwards who came with intense punches were Rodrigo Moreno, Dani Olmo, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Marco Asensio.
Or shameless wingers who come from the outside and cause instability, such as Nico Williams, Bryan Gil, Lamine Yamal or Bryan Zaragoza. Footballers of different natures, using their usual formations of 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, who keep the goal between their eyebrows and offer the manager the alternatives of attacking 4-2-3-1.
Up to 18 goals and Joselu ‘top scorer’
No line has been as lively as the forward line, where Joselu was the top scorer in six matches under De la Fuente. Of the 18 goals scored, four were scored by Joselu, three by Morata, two by Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres; One goal each was an own goal scored by Yeremi Pino, Nico Willians, Lamine, Gavi, Merino, Baena and Kverkverlia.
De la Fuente has always prided himself on being a versatile coach who is not captive to the idea of a single game. Even if you have a clear preference. And just as he does not limit himself to a tactical drawing, he does not limit himself to a specific profile of the attacking player.
Riojan is sensitive to players experiencing ‘momentum’ and it looks like Bryan Zaragoza is going through this phase as well. This has led the coach to call up the Granada winger, who could be a good tool to overcome the obstacle Scotland pose at La Cartuja this Thursday (21:00).
