The new Spain coach, Vcente Del Bosque, has outlined the team that
he has chosen to play Spain’s second World Cup Qualifier tonight
against Armenia.
Talking after an open training session in front of 5000 fans in
Albacete, Del Bosque implied that Xabi Alonso and Santi Cazorla would
be replacing Marcos Senna and Cesc Fabregas.
Del Bosque indicated that the changes are purely for tactical reasons,
and no mention of Fabregas’ outburst after being substituted on
Saturday was made, but there will obviously be speculation that it
may have affected the coach’s decision.
David Villa will be the lone striker up front, after scoring the
winning goal against Bosnia.
Probable team: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Albiol, Capdevila,
Cazorla, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Capel, Villa.
