The spanish national team faces the decisive stretch of the world with a very defined block. Luis de la Fuente has opted for a base of players that has barely changed during the championship, something that is reflected in the distribution of minutes accumulated by the 26 international players called up.
The three players with the most presence on the field of play are Marc Cucurella, Pau Cubarsi and Unai Simón, all of them with 614 minutes disputed. Very close they appear Aymeric Laportescam 610and rodri hernandezscam 605completing the hard core of the coach during the tournament.
Behind them are placed Mikel Oyarzabalscam 519 minutes, Pedro Gonzalezscam 470and Lamina Yamalthat already adds up 454. They have also played an important role Pedro Porro (410), Dani Olmo (373) and Alex Baena (354), while other footballers like Ferran Torres, Fabian Ruiz, Marcos Llorente and Mikel Merino They have also had opportunities throughout the championship.
Six players remain undefeated… because they have not yet debuted
On the opposite side of the distribution of minutes appear the six footballers who have not yet had the opportunity to make their debut in this World Cup. Eric Garcia, Juan Garcia, Alejandro Grimaldo, Victor Muñoz, David Rayá and Martin Zubimendi continue with 0 minutes disputed and, therefore, remain undefeated in the tournament as they have not yet participated in any match.
Very close to that group are Marc Pubillthat has only disputed 3 minutesand Borja Iglesiaswhat a sum 1 minutebeing the two field players with the least prominence among those who have stepped on the grass.
With a final still to be played, the distribution of minutes could undergo changes in the last match of the championship. Luis de la Fuente will have the opportunity to maintain his commitment to the block that took him until the last game or bring on some of the players who have barely had a leading role until now.
