The people of Barcelona and the goal of this team are all making a bold mark on the Spanish team at the EURO 2024 finals.
Under the guidance of coach Luis de la Fuente, La Roja is playing smooth, attractive football even though the squad has many young players and not many of the world’s top stars. However, they have made strong teams like Italy or Croatia look like amateur teams.
The way Spain is operating can give many suggestions to the home team at Nou Camp , notably the following 3 points.
1. Lamine Yamal and Pedri must be mainstays next season
Barca’s young star duo are two of La Roja’s most outstanding players through 3 matches in the group stage, thanks to each individual’s strengths. For Pedri, it is the ability to pull the ball and escape pressing. Despite his modest physique, the midfielder born in 2002 had no difficulty facing the “protectors” of Croatia or the powerful players of Italy.
Two pillars of Spain at this time.
With Lamine Yamal, it seems that the press has run out of beautiful words to write about him. At just 16 years old, the La Masia academy prodigy is walking the path of the biggest legends in soccer like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. It would not be surprising if Flick placed all his trust in Barcelona’s аttаck next season in his hands.
2. Need to recruit Nico Williams
The 21-year-old striker, who plays for Athletic Bilbao, is making the world admire him and making all the “big guys” in Europe restless. With his speed, top-notch dribbling ability and creative passes, Williams is truly a dangerous “drill” on the left wing for Spain.
The Catalan giants are still on the Һunt for a left-back to complete their attacking trio next season with Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal. Look no further than president Joan Laporta, who should be prepared to pay the asking price for Nico.
Williams is playing very well at EURO 2024.
Although Williams’ release clause is €58 million, Barca have no choice but to raise the money. This summer is the last chance for the Nou Camp team to recruit Yamal’s “close friend” on the Spanish national team, as other clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea are also fiercely pursuing this talented striker.
3. Ferran Torres should be used more
In the final group stage match against bitter opponent Albania, Torres was used from the start and he played very impressively. The former Manchester City player’s dribbling ability is very valuable for deep-lying defenses. He even scored the only goal, helping La Roja win all 3 matches.
Ferran Torres once had high expectations from coach Xavi Hernandez, but constant injuries last season prevented him from being in his best form. However, this player himself is determined to shine in the 2024/25 campaign, and Hansi Flick should give him more opportunities.
