Jakarta –
Luis Enrique did not include a single player Real Madrid in the national team squad Spanish to the 2020 European Cup. Here’s Enrique’s explanation.
Enrique announces the squad for the Spanish national team European Cup 2020 on Monday (24/5/2021) yesterday. One of the decisions that shocked the public was the removal Sergio Ramos from the national team.
Enrique reasoned that Ramos was not in a fit condition to compete in the 2020 European Cup. The 35-year-old defender has indeed been plagued by injuries throughout the 2020/2021 season and only appeared 21 times in all competitions with Real Madrid.
With Ramos eliminated, there will be no Madrid players in the squad for the Spanish national team this time. This is the first time in history that no Real Madrid player has been in the Spain squad for the European Cup.
There are at least seven national team players Spanish who strengthens Real Madrid. Apart from Sergio Ramos, they are Nacho Fernandez, Alvaro Odriozola, Dani Carvajal, Marco Asensio, Lucas Vazquez, and Isco.
Regarding the absence of a Madrid player in the Spanish national team this time, Enrique mentioned fitness as the main reason. Dani Carvajal, for example, only played 15 times for The Blancos in the 2020/2021 season due to more frequent injuries.
“Maybe if Carvajal and Ramos played more often, they might be on the squad list,” Enrique said as quoted by the report. AS.
“I understand that every club wants its players to be called up, but sometimes they ask their players not to leave because it disturbs their calendar. They don’t join when they are injured,” said the former Barcelona coach.
At the 2020 European Cup, Spanish joined in Group E with Sweden, Poland and Slovakia. The Red Fury will play the group phase match in La Cartuja, Sevilla.
