Luis de la Fuente begins to manage a problem that does not appear in the medical reports or in the press conferences. Spain He continues to compete with authority, but within the locker room there are players who do not understand their situation. Grimaldo, Zubimendi and Eric García They are pointed out for a lack of minutes that they consider difficult to justify.
The three arrived at the concentration with enough arguments to have a presence. Zubimendi It was important in the previous cycle, Grimaldo of signing seasons of enormous offensive production and Eric to offer a very useful versatility for any coach and to be one of the best in Spain in his position. However, the distribution of minutes has left them in a secondary, almost invisible position, and that is beginning to take its toll.
Three cases that bother
The case of Zubimendi It is the bloodiest. He has been a trusted footballer for from the sourcebut in the world has lost weight until it is behind other options. The midfielder understands the hierarchy of Rodribut not that their role has been reduced to waiting for an opportunity that never comes.
Grimaldo You also have reason to be upset. His offensive performance supports him, but the coach has preferred another type of full-back, more suited to his defensive plan. For the player, the feeling is clear: whatever he does at his club, his place in the national team will never fully consolidate.
Eric García, another victim
Eric Garcia Live a similar situation. His ability to act as a centre-back, full-back or even midfielder seemed to give him an advantage in a long call-up, but the reality has been different. from the source He has barely had him and the player is beginning to assume that his profile is not a priority for the coach.
The relationship is not officially broken, but it is touched. None of the three wants to generate noise while Spain She is still alive, but in her surroundings there is already talk of anger and a feeling of discomfort. If the situation does not change, your future calls may be in danger. from the source It maintains its trust block and, when a player is left out of that circle, returning is usually much more difficult than entering an already functioning group for the first time. For them, the problem is not only not playing, but also seeing that the coach no longer looks at them the same way in decisive moments.
