Spain U21 coach: Bernal is one of us, but now his situation is not ideal

Recently, Spain U21 coach David Gordo attended the pre-match press conference for the U21 European Cup qualifiers. He talked about the situation of Bernal, Gonzalo and other selected players.

Although Fernandez Pardo has expressed a desire to play for Spain, he has never participated in a training camp. He is also eligible to represent Belgium or Italy. Fernandez Pardo was called up by Gordo in October but failed to participate in training. This has happened four times.

Godot said: "He is not on the list. This is not a problem that worries me. I am more concerned about the players who were not selected due to injuries or other reasons. We hope that all players can go all out to help the team qualify for the European Cup."

About Bernal Situation, Gordo explained that although he was called up in October, he was unable to play due to injury and was not included in the squad this time: "He is one of ours, but now he is not in an ideal situation and has very little playing time. The roster we have chosen is the key to help us get six points and secure promotion Player."

Despite not playing much time at the club, Gordo emphasized the importance of Gonzalo Garcia, who was selected for the national team for the third time: "Gonzalo feels very comfortable here and performed very well, although he did not get enough. He played a lot of time, but he performed well every time he came to the national team and became an important member of our team."

The Spanish U21 national team will play against San Marino on November 14 and Romania on November 18. These two games are key battles in the U21 European Cup qualifiers.

Jesus Rodriguez will represent Spain U21 for the first time in these games. He has been selected for the adult national team twice before: "He is a very professional player. Although he is young, he knows his situation. He needs more game opportunities, and we will give him this opportunity to let him continue to improve in training and games."

In addition. , Gordo also agreed with the English media's view of Mosquera's transfer to Arsenal as a "missing": "I have known him since he was 14 years old. He is a very good player, and I believe he will become an important member of the Spanish national team. I agree that this is a missing piece. I hope Spanish clubs can support local players more instead of letting them develop abroad."
