The most challenging day for Luis de la Fuente has arrived. The Spanish coach must rule out three players from the initial list of 29 to attend the European Championship in Germany and Fermín is one of the names that remains a question mark.

His youth and being in a senior squad for the first time are factors to doubt, but These unknowns take a backseat when looking at their performance on the green.

De la Fuente is in favor of opting for footballers who are in better shape, regardless of their age or experience in major tournaments. The Riojan is a brave technician. And if he has taken Fermín for this preparation it is because he detects something special in his game.

The one from Campillo gives his all in every training session, something that the coach places a lot of value on. In the match against Andorra, his presence was noticeable, collaborating in two goals for La Roja, but beyond shining under the spotlight, in the shadows he also stands out especially.

Fermín takes every training session as an opportunity. This is a motto of this team, which wants to function as a team and with Fermín achieves this goal. His generosity is above his ego and he knows that being in the Euro Cup was something totally unthinkable just a year ago when he returned from his loan to Linares of the First Federation.

Many midfielders

The reason he is still a doubt as one of the three discards is his position on the field. Spain has many midfielders and other players who can fit into the three-quarter zone. Pedri, Dani Olmo, Mikel Merino, Fabián, Oyarzabal are some examples of footballers with these characteristics. But the one who has it the worst a priori is Álex Baena.

The Villarreal player could receive another award such as being in the Olympic team since due to age he falls into the U-23 quota and that these days of training with La Roja serve as a learning experience for him.

The other two footballers who aim to be discarded are Vivian, as the fifth central defender after Cubarsí, Le Normand, Nacho and Laporte, as well as Aleix García with Zubimendi recovered and Rodri as a great leader in the pivot.

The anxiety that can still be maintained The final list of 26 players will be dissipated throughout the day. De la Fuente has until midnight to facilitate the official call to UEFA, but You are expected to do so before traveling to Mallorca.where the team plays the last warm-up friendly against Northern Ireland this Saturday.
