SPAIN LIST FOR FRIENDLY INTERNATIONAL AGAINST ITALY | THIAGO CALLED UP

SPANISH FOOTBALL NATIONAL TEAM Selector & Coach Vicente del Bosque has handed in his list of Spanish Football players that will make up the National squad to meet ITALY the 10th of August in the Italian city of Bari in an International Friendly match.

Spanish Football player Thiago

The novelty is the inclusion of FC Barcelona young midfielder & U-21 International , THIAGO ALCANTERA who is having a "dream" pre-season after winning the Euro U-21 Championship & is scoring goals with Barça in their warm up pre-season games. The Spanish Football Coach Del Bosque said that his call up is a prize for his excellent performances & his "state of grace" form.


This obviously has another message as Thiago has "pushed aside"  Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas & again raises questions if Barça really needs Cesc in their team, & if Cesc is making a "good" career decision wanting to move to FC Barcelona.

Transfers questions aside, here is the full list of Spanish Football players called up for the Italy Friendly International: 

Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Reina (Liverpool/ING) & Víctor Valdés (Barcelona).
Defenders: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Álvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Raúl Albiol (Real Madrid), Gerard Piqué (Barcelona) & Andoni Iraola (Athletic).
Midfielders: Thiago (Barcelona), Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Santiago Cazorla (Málaga), Xavi Hernández (Barcelona), Andrés Iniesta (Barcelona), Javi Martínez (Ath. Bilbao).
Forwards: David Silva (Manchester City), Fernando Llorente (Ath. Bilbao), Juan Mata (Valencia), Pedro Rodríguez (Barcelona), David Villa (Barcelona), Fernando Torres (Chelsea FC) & Alvaro Negredo (Sevilla)
