Dani Carvajal faces a new situation with the Spanish team. The Real Madrid winger has not played a decisive match with Spain as a starter, that is, a life-or-death clash as a starter in either of the two major events he has attended. Both in the World Cup in Russia and in Qatar, In the two round of 16 clashes that Spain faced, he was a substitute. In the semifinal against Italy of the Nations Cup, minor but title after all, he can debut in that need.
Carvajal is more than used to participating in these types of clashes defending the Real Madrid shirt. He is not afraid of the responsibility of how much is at stake and although the competition in question does not have the same competitive rank as a World Cup or a European Championship, the doubts raised after the match against Scotland, raise the importance of the victory against Italy and the presence in the Rotterdam final on Sunday.
All selectors have
The defender of the white team has become the owner of the right wing of the defense of Spain in recent years. With no physical problem involved, Carvajal has counted for every coach who has gone through the Spanish bench. In fact, Luis Enrique drew on the Real Madrid player’s experience as soon as he could, even in the moments in which the criticism was baited in an exaggerated way with the Real Madrid player. In the two calls with Luis de la Fuente he has not missed the appointment. He started against Norway and came off at half-time in the game against Scotland.
Carvajal has made 35 appearances with the national team and although has been present in two World Cups, different muscular problems, prevented him from being in as many Euro Cups, subtracting a good number of games. The truth is that all the coaches who have gone through the Spanish bench have had the Real Madrid winger since his debut in 2014.
Yuri’s injury
The problem suffered by the Athletic player after a tackle from the Real Madrid winger has overshadowed the end of the season. It is not being an easy moment for the defense of the selection. On the Bernabu lawn, one and the other spoke of what happened that has now ended in an injury for the rojiblanco defender. Carvajal never thought of hurting and regrets what happened and especially the consequences for Yuri.
During the season the defense’s performance has been increasing until reaching its maximum peak of form in the months of April and May. Carlo Ancelotti’s confidence has been fundamental in the competitive growth and balance that he manages to give the team, something that Luis De la Fuente wants him to repeat with the team in the League of Nations.
