The Spanish team has adopted a family form in recent times. The differences caused by the teams have been reduced by a core that has a leadership sober in Luis de la Fuente. Behind closed doors, his attitude is far from the timid one that he shows when he faces non-sports reality at a press conference. However, after the two defeats against Georgia (1-7) and Cyprus (6-0), the locker room has been purified.
There are several connections that contribute to the correct development of the project. Among them, those that come standard, such as to from Dani Carvajal and Joselu, whose association resulted in the third goal in Granada. He was a “goal of brothers-in-law”an expression that, although it sounds pejorative, is the reality of the bond that unites teammates in Real Madrid and in the national team.
They have maintained this relationship since 2022, when Daphne Cañizares married Dani Carvajal. In 2016, her twin sister Melanie Cañizares had married Joselu. The goal was celebrated in style in the family environment of a society from which Real Madrid hopes to take advantage.
Joselu: “Carvajal and I talked about how to create danger”
It was a play as simple as it was beautiful. Carvajal put what is known as a ‘candy’. A measured center that is removed from the wrapping until it reaches the head of Joseluwho after beating his rival’s brand, He scored his fourth goal in the six games he has worn the shirt of the senior team.
Far from being a coincidence, the Galician striker explained after the game how the winning play was created. “We were creating a lot of danger on the right wing and one of the premises was to remain the same. We have created a lot of danger in that area. Carvajal and I had talked before starting the second part to look for that plot. We have found many spaces there,” acknowledged Joselu, who is living a golden period. At 32 years old he managed to debut with the senior team and return to the team where he trained
There he shared a dressing room with the man who is now his brother-in-law. They both agreed on the Real Madrid Castilla, from 2010 to 2012, when they left for Germany. Joselu did so after leaving the white team and heading to Hoffenheim, while Carvajal left on loan to Bayer Leverkusen. After 11 years they have met again in the white locker room, a reunion that came after winning the Nations League. The chemistry between the two is total. They are just one of the many communicating vessels of the team.
Ferran: “I have blocked all the press”
In addition to feeding an average of magnificent effectiveness, Joselu, as a heel, allowed Álex Baena to become the third player who has needed the least time to score with the absolute. When the Villarreal player scored the fifth against Cyprus only 71 seconds had passed since his debut with the first team. According to data from MisterChip, only Pau Torres and Fernando Morientes needed less to see the goal: 53 and 59 seconds.
Carvajal’s record also stands out, as he needed less than three minutes to serve the second assist, this time to Ferran. Regardless of the opponent’s level (he held on at 2-0 until the 70th minute), This goal was the result of a magnificent maneuver by the right back, who with targeted control got rid of his brand. Then he saw Ferran perfectly, who finished the game with a double. Off the field he starred in the most controversial appearance.
The FC Barcelona forward is experiencing a transformation this season scripted by the ‘shark’ concept. Motivational development, accompanied by greater physical work, which is allowing you to improve your numbers. A journalist asked him: “Did they accuse you of coming to the national team because of ‘plug’?” The issue had to do with the relationship he had with the daughter of former coach Luis Enrique. “I have blocked all the press, it doesn’t give me anything”answered.
Carvajal, captain without armband of the national team
There were hardly any moments for dispute in a match that had been preceded by the Rubiales case. Azpilicueta threw away his bib after seeing that he was not going to play in a second part full of rotations. Morata left upset after being substituted at half-time for Joselu and not being able to join the goal festival. Two demonstrations of the competitiveness of a group in which De la Fuente has managed to reunify individual interests. He has done it in a turbulent period, where public opinion asked for the positioning of the players and the coaching staff on the non-consensual kiss to Jenni Hermoso.
This exposed the footballers beyond a statement that failed to close an issue that has shaken the reputation of Spanish sport. Precisely, in the round of interviews and appearances, Carvajal was the most notable, saying that there were “legal entities that are considering “if Jennifer is really a victim of something that is being investigated”. An idea on which he reaffirmed himself the next day, defending “the presumption of innocence as a constitutional right.”
Weighty words from a captain who is not captain because of games, but because of the role he plays in the locker room. Proof of this is an action during the match against Cyprus in which He removes with one blow a rival who had had his ups and downs with Gavi. Protective action against a natural archenemy in LaLiga, but an absolute ally when one is in the national team. There is a history of these in pairs in the painting directed by De la Fuente.
The goal by Mikel Merino, a Real Sociedad player, from a pass from Nico Williams, from Athletic, is another proof of how this selection has been hardened through a family relationship. The same one that has allowed the very rapid adaptation of a supernatural talent like that of Lamine Yamal. A bond between opponents who have become members of a common cause that increasingly believe in each other.
