De La Fuente Backs Balance As Spain Names World Cup Squad
World Cup: Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said Monday he had picked a "well-balanced" and "well-considered" 26-man squad for the World Cup, with his selections showing both loyalty to trusted players and a willingness to take calculated risks.
One of the unluckiest players to miss out is Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro, who has been replaced by Barcelona's Joan Garcia. Remiro has been part of De la Fuente's squads for the past three years and has been valued as a positive presence in the dressing room, but Garcia's excellent form this season has earned him a place.
The decision raises an intriguing question over whether De la Fuente will stick with Unai Simon as his first-choice goalkeeper or place his faith in Garcia, who has only one brief senior international appearance, reported Xinhua.
