In a moment that he was doing very well, he got injured. I spoke with him and told him, 'continue on your path, do not listen to what the media is saying.' Of the ten best goalkeepers in the world, six are Spanish, meaning some great ones would miss out.
It will be very difficult to choose the goalkeeper of the Spanish national team for the World Cup. The one who does not go -Joan Garcia- is undoubtedly the best. The one who is on the bench - David Raya - is fantastic and the starter is the one who generates the most doubts right now. The starter generates doubts in his club, and in the national team, it seems that he does not.
Their profligacy is not a new concern; it was evident during last summer's Euros, particularly in the quarterfinal against France and the semifinal against Spain. But this time it hurt them more than it should have. In many ways, it was a near-perfect performance. Germany created wave after wave of opportunities, pushed Spain deep into their own half, and left goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger with little to do. Yet the one thing they needed, and arguably deserved, never came: a goal.
