The Spanish centre-back recently spoke about how he loves the fact that Vicente Del Bosque always has faith in me and wants to start for his team against France during the FIFA World Cup 2014 qualifiers.
Whether it is Real Madrid, or the Spanish national team, Raul Albiol has always been neglected because of the quality of defenders in the team.
While Jose Mourinho plays Sergio Ramos and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 in the centre-back role, Vicente Del Bosque opts for the pairing of Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique.
Therefore, Raul Albiol is usually the player who is often neglected by both the coaches, even though he has the experience to play in both these teams.
However, during this international break, the Spanish national team is missing out on both its first-choice centre-backs, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331; therefore, Raul Albiol finally got the opportunity to represent Spain during the FIFA World Cup 2014
qualifiers.
Spain had to face Belarus and France during this international break and the World champions have already played one of these two fixtures and have won 4-0 against Belarus while being away from home.
Raul Albiol was selected by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096.
Three of the four defenders in the Spanish national team were of the same team, Real Madrid, and they were able to defend well against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belarus-c2849 as they won the match with ease.
Raul Albiol and Sergio Ramos were able to form an exquisite centre-back partnership and Albiol is happy with the fact that his coach has shown faith in him.
While speaking about the Spanish national team and how he wants to continue playing for them, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Albiol said:
“I'm happy the Coach continues to show faith in me. I haven’t had too many games so far this season but I haven't been inactive. Every time I train with Spain I prove I'm fully fit and ready to play, but I still don't know if I'll start against France. If
I do then I'll be more than ready.”
