A Statement of Class and Quality
Spain, the World Champions, had a tough draw and beat all the teams that were considered to be the favourites. They got past Portugal, France and then Argentina to lift the Cup. The victory, no less, is a statement of their class and quality.
The Expectations Would Be High From Co-hosts Spain in 2030
I, however, was thinking of the future of this team, once the next World Cup arrives on their shores four years hence. With Camp Nou in Barcelona, Catalonia; the Metropolitano and the Bernabéu in Madrid; and the Estadio de la Cartuja in Seville buzzing with partisan Spanish fans, the expectations for defending their title would be immense.
In The Absence of Seniors, Title Defence Would Be A Challenge…
The brilliant left back Cucurella and the likes of Laporte, Mikel Merino, and Oyarzabal may not be available next time. Even Rodri may not be in the best of elements when the next World Cup arrives. There will be a challenge for Spain to maintain the heights this team has attained.
…But The Team Looks Secure
When I look, however, at the team and the bench strength, the future of Spain appears very much secured and will be up to the challenge in defending, first, their Euro Crown in 2028 ( to be jointly held in England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland) and then the World Title in their home country in 2030.
The Core Is Strong…
In any good team, the core is critical and going forward, Spain has a tremendous core built around some exceptionally gifted youngsters.
…As The Young Players Are Outstanding
Lamine Yamal from the right flank, Nico Williams from the left, Pedri and Gavi managing the midfield and Paul Cubarsi in central defence make a terrific core for Spain. These players are in their early twenties, with Yamal and Cubarsi still in their teens. This core will be supported by Yeremy Pino and Victor Munoz to make an outstanding unit.
Luis de la Fuente Will Make The Difference
These young players are going to get even better, which will hold Spain in good stead to face challenges to their supremacy. Luis de la Fuente will surely be there to guide the young blokes in their quest for glory. Fuente might well be the next Didier Deschamps.
Great Team Ahead For Spain
Great times are ahead for Spain. They just need to be focused. They might win it all again.
