"Joan Garcia? He'll definitely be in the Spanish national team"

Joan Garcia is the name that has been the most talked about in Spanish football lately.. The goalkeeper has swapped Espanyol for Barcelona and his name is already being bandied about to wear the Spanish national team shirt after being the best goalkeeper last season.

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has his name in mind - "He's a great goalkeeper. Of course he will come. We'll see what his situation is when the season starts. But be careful, the best goalkeepers in the world are Spanish and they are in the national team. I say it very clearly: they are the best and we are very happy with them. And Joan will of course come to the national team when we think it's convenient," he told “Marca”.

The coach is 64 years old and has his mind set on the next World Cup: "First we have to qualify. In September we have two tough and complicated matches away from Spain against Bulgaria and Turkey. After we qualify, we'll think about the World Cup. It's very nice and flattering to be considered favourites, but we have our feet on the ground. We are realistic, we have a very good team, for me the best, but we will go in as always with enthusiasm and humility".

One of the names he was asked about was Alvaro Morata, who let slip that he will not return to play for “La Roja”: "He is the best, he will come whenever he wants. The doors are open to him. For whatever he needs, the national team is with Alvaro. He is very important on and off the pitch. If he feels good and wants to come, perfect. If he can't, Alvaro knows he's always welcome. Doors are open for the captain, but the important thing is that he's well".

"Without a doubt, Lamine is growing at an impressive level. He will be a legend. He has undoubtedly to improve in some aspects. We have to look after him, but he is growing a lot and he should be clear that his team-mates and clubmates are the ones who will help him to become a legend, he is a sensational boy," De la Fuente said of Lamine Yamal.
