Spanish team | Joselu, birthday with a prize?

by time news

On his own merits, he grabbed a good part of the headlines in the match that Spain beat Norway (3-0) in Malaga: it was the start of the road to the Euro Cup, in which Joselu shone with his own light, capable of signing two goals in a short time more than four minutes.

The Espanyol striker, who turns 33 this Monday, became the third oldest rookie with the national team, after Puskas, who was 34 years and 224 days old when he made his debut as a Spanish international, and Fernando Argila, who was 33 years old and 8 days.

Substitute scorer in Malaga, Joselu aspires with all the credit in the world to be a starter in one of the temples of world football: Hampden Park awaits Spain to face Scotland and the Galician striker born in Germany could start the game as a starter.

“He has instinct”

Everything will depend on Luis de la Fuente’s notebook. “He has a goal; he has instinct,” the new coach praised him. Joselu’s two goals were like before, an expression that several journalists used to define his goals against Norway. A header to the long post and a dead ball in the area, after a rebound, which he knew how to send into the net.

One of the first to congratulate him was by the way Dani Carvajal, who is part of his family: Carvajal’s wife, Daphne Cañizares, She is the sister of Melanie, Joselu’s wife.

Joselu had not played an international game in thirteen years, although in his case, we are under-21s, when he played under López Caro in a match against Liechtenstein in Ponferrada.
