Europa Press, E-Noticies Luis de la Fuente has been very clear, he won't go with Spain, Real Madrid already knows it
Luis de la Fuente receives criticism, not only from Real Madrid, for the decision he has made
Last Friday, Luis de la Fuente announced his list of drafts for the next two matches of the Spanish national team and presented several unexpected surprises. The most notable was the presence of Lamine Yamal, who has ultimately been dropped after the surprising medical treatment carried out by Barça behind RFEF's back. However, beyond this matter, Luis de la Fuente is in the eye of the storm because of a decision that affects Real Madrid.
The coach enjoys the peace of mind that comes from having lifted the Euro Cup in 2024 with a young and inexperienced group. In addition, with Luis de la Fuente on the bench, the Spanish national team also reached the final of the UEFA Nations League against Portugal, which strengthens his authority. Nobody doubts the excellent work he has been doing, but it is also true that some of his decisions are strange and hard to justify.
Luis de la Fuente has been very clear, Álvaro Carreras won't go with Spain, Real Madrid already know it
Specifically, Real Madrid fans still find it hard to believe that Álvaro Carreras continues not to be drafted by Luis de la Fuente for the Spanish national team. Since his arrival at Bernabéu, the former Benfica player has been proving to be the best Spanish left-back by far. However, Cucurella and Grimaldo remain the two favorites and it doesn't seem like that's going to change.
It is true that Cucurella is performing well at Chelsea, but there are few justifications for Grimaldo to be ahead of Álvaro Carreras. Real Madrid's wing-back is much more complete than Bayer's left-back, who mainly stands out for his set-piece striking. Despite this, Luis de la Fuente keeps firm in his idea.
Luis de la Fuente's "no" to Álvaro Carreras is firm
Luis de la Fuente has made it clear that Álvaro Carreras won't go with the Spanish national team unless Cucurella or Grimaldo get injured. His presence at the next World Cup is becoming complicated, and at Real Madrid they still can't believe what they're seeing. The coach keeps his core group, prioritizes continuity, and assumes that Carreras will have to wait.
For Madrid, Álvaro Carreras's exclusion from the Spanish national team doesn't make much sense, since he has proved to be the best in his position. It is clear that Luis de la Fuente wants to keep the group with which he has achieved so much success, even if that means making controversial decisions.
