To enter the Spanish football is very expensive that hardly admits discussion. World champions and two-time champions of Europe in the last five years, Red is exerting supremacy few times seen in football selections. Partly, because it has at its disposal a veritable cast of stars who play beautiful football.
For this reason, surprised how many good players who have not yet had no place in it and have not been put red shirt yet. It is international players who would in any other country in the world but here are still closed. We review some of the most notorious cases:
1- Michu: Asturian playmaker 27 years after passing through the Celta and Rayo decided to try his luck in Swansea where last year marked 18 goals. False nine long goal, I not been called yet is something inexplicable in any other part of the world other than Spain.
2- Diego Costa: Spanish-Brazilian has already recognized that seduces the idea of playing with Spain. Very quarrelsome and not without technical, This Atletico striker has already played with Brazil in friendly, which does not prevent that one day I can wear the Red. And if you follow this line, it will be difficult not to get.
3- Ruben Castro: international sub 21 in his day, This canary 31 years marked 18 goals in 34 matches with Real Betis last year. And he did a great image transmitting, quality and touch. However, Torres, Villa, Soldier, Negredo and company make it very difficult to top.
4- Joan Verdú: good old midfielder flagship Espanyol and Real Betis now. Very touch, with an excellent arrival it is one of the jugones League. The problem is that it plays in a position where Spain has to give and take.
5- Ander Herrera: It has been numerous times by sub 21 Olympic and included. But the absolute resists. At the moment, claro. He is young and it appears that if you follow this evolution will someday minutes older. Very classy, It combines the subtlety of a good midfielder with extraordinary arrival on second line.
6- Mikel Arteta: Now Arsenal and thirties and back, Gipuzkoa was once one of the stars of the Premier when I joined Everton. Very goal, with ability to lead a team, with good vision, with nice touch be happy, ever dress Red is one of the “Secrets of the Red”, despite the redundancy and wordplay.
7- Pedro Leon: his best days seem to have passed since, but still it has class murciano to give and take. A reference in the band that was once the Real Madrid thinking he stepped forward and actually was a step back.
8- Xabi Prieto: This donostiarra is the watchword of the Royal Society. The big captain. International sub 21 in his day. However, the fact occupy an advanced position in midfield he has deprived of reaching all become international. And what's worse: their age, it seems increasingly difficult it is.
9- Vicente Iborra: an extraordinary midfielder who take long handle Levante despite his young age. Anticipation, arrival, all terrain, good ball-winner and with good vision, perhaps his pass to Sevilla will mean the final leap to achieve the desired internationality.
10- Roberto: Now we include this Olympiakos goalkeeper as a tribute to all outstanding goalkeepers in Spain and can hardly go to the call of the forest as a result of the presence of three myths: Iker Casillas, Pepe Reina and Victor Valdes.
11- Iago Aspas: excelso playmaker. A genius with potholes but talented to give and take. The new Guti or as you prefer. It was a reference in the Celtic and Liverpool now it seems that slowly begins to win over the fans Anfield.
Other international potential: Piti, Of Beauty, Jorge Molina, Oscar Valladolid.
* Borja Valero has only been capped once as Tello and both were in friendly matches.
