Selection | Settled the mess Ceballos

The Spanish coach has opted for the Blaugrana player to face the Nations League

In the previous concentration, Dani did not digest the role as a benchmark for the team that the Barça midfielder already has

It was sensed that the inclusion of Barça player Gavi and Real Madrid player Dani Ceballos in the list for the Nations League dispute could be a source of conflict for coach Luis de la Fuente. However, De la Fuente has solved the root of the problem by leaving the Real Madrid midfielder off the list.

Dani Ceballos was the protagonist in the first concentration of Luis de la Fuente in March. The Real Madrid player arrived with the resentment of having lost the classic league, having suffered a Gavi entry that the VAR did not review and a feeling of animosity towards the blaugrana, as was seen with a hair pulling in the Super Cup final in which Gavi was the MVP.Luis de la Fuente took the two players as soon as the stage began in Las Rozas to pacify the spirits, something that he only partially achieved. Ceballos complained in the concentration that Gavi “deserved the red” in the classicwhile the blaugrana behaved impeccably without opening his mouth or fanning the fire.

After the defeat in Glásgow, in which Ceballos was a starter and Gavi, a substitute, information emerged about an alleged bad behavior of the Barcelona player with the Red, something that was denied and clarified quickly from the Federation itself.Gavi would have refused to attend a signing ceremony in Malaga because he was somewhat indisposed, but finally went down to attend to the fans. on the pitch and in the training sessions the seasoned Gavi was seen as always.

Gavi nunca god a problem

Actually, Until Ceballos joined La Roja, no comment against Gav had ever come up.Yo. Even in Las Rozas, a madridista like Nacho described him as a “good kid”so everything points to a bad reaction from Ceballos before the irruption of a young player, from the eternal rival, and also from Andalusia that, for example, in Malaga he was the footballer most cheered by the fans.

The option was considered De la Fuente had to talk to both of them to prevent a new conflict from germinating during the Nations League, whose Final Four will be played by Spain from June 15 against Italy (the Netherlands-Croatia tie will be played on June 14).

However, the coach has settled the issue by resorting to the most obvious: sports performance. In the 2022/23 season, Gavi has been the undisputed starter at Barça at 18 years of age, and with an excellent performance (3,482 minutes of play in 48 games, 3 goals and 7 assists). Dani Olmo has played 1,881 minutes in 45 games (1 goal and 9 assists) with Real Madrid.
