With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 not making a comeback anytime soon, what is the best possible line-up for the Spanish team?
Spanish coach, Vicente Del Bosque, will definitely be going through a hard time as there are a limited number of players available not only in attack, but also in the defence.
Spanish side are currently the European and the World champions as they managed to triumph over the last editions of both the international competitions.
During the FIFA World Cup, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 were the favourites to win the tournament and they came out as winners. However, this time, they are strong contenders but with the absence of a few important players, they might not be the most favourite side to win the
Euro 2012.
The Spanish national team lost their main striker, David Villa, when Barcelona went out to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup and the Spanish star broke his tibia. Villa has been out of action for quite some time now and is still awaiting a return as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604
are left with only a single game; the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao.
La Furia Roja will also be without the services of their first-choice centre-back, Carles Puyol, who recently went through a knee surgery and will be out of action for the coming six weeks.
The Spaniard is expected to make a late return in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032, but it might be too late for the Spanish team as they might be struggling defensively throughout the tournament.
Starting from the goalkeeper, the Spanish captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672 and Victor Valdes can easily sit the games out as Casillas commands his position between the two sticks.
While playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, Del Bosque can definitely send out a strong line-up despite a few players missing in defence and attack.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique can assist Ramos in the centre-back role and the two can definitely form a good defensive partnership.
Ramos’ right-back role can be taken over by the Real Madrid full-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282. Even though Arbeloa is not the best of right-backs in the world, he is definitely experienced and the best option available for Vicente Del Bosque.
The left-back position can be taken by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, the fact that Jordi Alba has been playing in the Spanish La Liga might give him an edge over the other left-backs available.
Moreover, Enrique is only an attacking threat, and defensively he is not the best player available; on the other hand, Jordi Alba is not only good while moving up the flank, he can also very solid defensively.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Albiol is one of the few players who might play an integral part in this season’s campaign. The Spaniard has given a few performances for Real Madrid this season but in any case, he might be vital for the Spanish team as he is the only one who can be
used as a replacement for the centre-backs.
Currently, only Ramos can replace Arbeloa in the right-back position, which gives http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque very few options at the back.
