Last update 2 August, 2014 by Alberto Llopis

Spanish fashion in football was a phenomenon in recent years. The excellent role of the Spanish team, everything champion, It led to the mass exodus of Spanish footballers and coaches to any part of the world, no matter how remote.. Countries like England, Greece and Austria were some of those that received the most.

Precisely, teams like Swansea City from the Premier or Brighton from the Championship, They had more Spaniards in their squads than many teams in the League. Back in the day we talked to you about “Spanish Swansea” and the “Spanish Brighton”. With the arrival of Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui to Porto, The Portuguese team has decided to renew its squad and has set its sights on the Spanish League.

With one month left to sign, Porto has five Spanish players in its ranks in addition to the technical staff. Andrés Fernández goalkeeper who arrives from Osasuna, José Ángel formerly of Real Sociedad, Roma and Sporting de Gijón among others, Oliver Torres on loan from Atlético de Madrid, Tello from Barça and Adrián from Atlético de Madrid, They are the Spanish players who will play for Porto 2014/15. To them we must add other players who arrive from the League such as Casemiro from Real Madrid or Brahimi who arrives from Granada.

The bet on Lopetegui is interesting. The Spanish coach, He played a very good role in the lower categories of the Spanish team and reaches one of the greats of Portugal in his first adventure in club football. Porto, will try to regain the throne of the Portuguese tournament, dominated in recent years by the eternal rival, Benfica. Definitely, We will be attentive to this new Spanish Oporto.
