The national coach, Robert Moreno , has done a strange thing and a strange one yet. The strange thing is that their list of summoned for the matches against Malta (day 15 in Cádiz) and against Romania (day 18 in Madrid) is not a revolution (in fact, they repeat up to 19 of the 23 summoned). The strangest thing is still to present the list in the halls of the Prado Museum, referencing pictures for each of the lines that make up the team. The news? Morata and Alcácer in the lead and Dani Olmo , the Zagreb Dynamo player, in the midpoint.

A picture of Titian, "Sisyphus", serves the coach to insist on his three goalkeepers: De Gea , Kepa and Pau López .

A painting by Goya, "Children picking fruit", serves to give continuity to the defensive line. They all repeat: Gayá, Bernat, Carvajal, Navas, Albiol, Iñigo Martínez, Sergio Ramos and Pau Torres . Regarding the last one, only Reguilón is absent.

A painting by Rubens, "Vulcano forging the rays of Jupiter," explains, for Robert Moreno, continuity also in the center of the field. They all repeat: Busquets, Thiago, Rodri, Saúl, Cazorla and Fabián Ruiz .

Finally, a painting by Velázquez, "Las Lanzas", or "The Surrender of Breda", which gives so much, gives way to the line that does present novelties. The main one is the debut of Dani Olmo with the absolute selection. Capital piece of the European sub-21 champion in summer, he arrives with the majors in an area of ​​the field where Moreno recognizes Morata's streak (five goals in five games) and Alcacer's nose, recovered after his injury. Rodrigo , Oyarzabal and Gerard Moreno also repeat.

Names like Isco and Diego Costa seem definitely banished from a team where Dani Ceballos is not, who ended up with physical problems this Thursday's Europa League match with Arsenal.
