Luis de la Fuente has summoned 26 players for the first two games of his stage and after a first look, the conclusion is that he has turned the Spanish team upside down. Kepa in goal, Nacho and David García in defense, Zubimendi and Ceballos in midfield and Bryan Gil, Aspas and Joselu in the front with the main novelties, not the only ones, to measure Norway and Scotland.
The dimension of the revolution can be explained with a fact. Only 11 players of those who were in the World Cup repeat today. Robert Sánchez, David Raya, Balde, Laporte, Carvajal, Rodri, Gavi, Pedri, Morata, Olmo and Nico Williams are those who remain in the team after the Qatar appointment. Especially striking is the absence of Jordi Alba, who Balde has also taken away his place in the national team, not only at Barça.
