World Cup 2022 will be the test of a new generation for the Spanish national team. Will the new followers be able to repeat the great success of the team of Xavi, Iniesta and Villa. The Spaniards were the first in history to win 3 major tournaments in a row from 2008 to 2012, took the Euro title and 1 World Cup. Today in the review we will talk about the Spanish national team: composition, group, team leaders and predictions.

«Red Fury» goes to Qatar under the leadership of Luis Enrique - the legend of «Barcelona» as a player and coach. Enrique has not yet had success with the national team, the team is clearly in the process of restructuring and since 2010 has not shown decent results at the Fifa World Cup. Enrique has won every trophy with Barcelona: from the Champions League to local championships, cups and the Club World Cup.

In the Spanish national football team, the coach builds the game with the help of veterans like Alba, Koke and Busquets, who are clearly past their peak. The younger generation in the same «Barcelona» and «Real» is only growing up and is not ready for serious rivalry at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. There are no bright stars like Puyol, Iniesta or Torres in the Red Fury. All hope for the Barcelona youth: Pedri, Gavi and Fati.

The composition and leaders of the Spanish national football team at the World Cup-22 Based on the matches of the League of Nations and friendly matches, our editors have compiled a list of players who will be included in the application for the World Cup in Qatar.

Spain Squad

Goalkeepers David de Gea, Unai Simon, David Sanchez
Protection Sergio Ramos, Jordi Alba, Marcos Alonso, Pau Torres, Eric Garcia, Dani Carvajal, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marc Cucurella, Aymeric Laporte
Midfield Rodri, Gavi, Pedri, Carlos Soler, Sergio Busquets, Marcos Llorente, Koke, Ansu Fati
Assault Alvaro Morata, Ferran Torres, Marco Asensio, Brahim Diaz, Raul de Tomas

Goalkeepers

In terms of composition, the current Spanish national team looks weaker than other favorites of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. It is still unclear who will be the first number: at the last Euro, Simon played with errors, de Gea has now returned to a good level. Spain definitely does not have a reliable keeper.

Protection

In defense, the situation is better, but there is also no permanent pair of CBs due to injuries and the level of players. Azpilicueta and Pau Torres of Villarreal can play in the center, as well as Martinez of Athletic Bilbao and the highly unstable Catalan Eric Garcia. But there is a possibility of the return of the great Sergio Ramos - one of those who collected all the titles in the history of the national team. The edges of the defense are occupied by Alba and Carvajal - these positions look the most reliable in the composition.

Midfield

In the center of the field, Enrique does not have a lot of choice, so we will go to Qatar as the leader and «uncle» captain Busquets, who is going to the MLS next year. In the support zone, he will be paired with the iron Rodri from Manchester City, as well as someone from the Koke-Soler pair. But they are likely to be replaced by young talents Gavi and Pedri.

Assault

The attacking line of the Spanish national team, the composition raises questions. In the center of the attack there is only Morata, who cannot be called a top, he is replaced by Raul de Tomas from the modest Rayo Vallecano without the experience of serious European matches. Attacking edges look better with Barcelona’s Ferran Torres and Fati plus Real Madrid’s Asensio, but he gets little match practice, unlike a pair of young Catalans.

Spain national team: the history of performances at the World Cup

Before the triumph at the 2010 World Cup, when the Spaniards beat the Netherlands thanks to Iniesta’s goal, they had no victories and medals. To this day, this victory remains the only achievement of Fury Roch in the World Cup. The Spaniards are much more successful at the Euro. World Cup 2022 standings will allow them to advance from the group and try to go beyond ⅛ finals.

Spain 2022 World Cup squad: group and predictions

«Furia Roja» starts at the World Cup in a group with Germany, Japan and Costa Rica. The clear favorite of Group E are the Germans, the Spaniards will confidently take second place - experts and fans say so. In the full-time match of the second round, the Spanish national team will impose a fight on the Germans, but at a distance of three rounds, their composition looks weaker.

Forecast for the World Cup from experts - a maximum of ⅛ of the final. The young and inexperienced Spanish team is not yet ready for more.
