Marca: Morata s status in the Spanish national team has dropped sharply
Spanish coach De La Fuente praised the team captain, but the reality is cruel. Since starting in the first leg of the UEFA Quarter-final against the Netherlands, Morata has played only 10 minutes in the 420-minute game time, which is the match that missed a penalty in the UEFA final against Portugal, which led to his opponent's championship. Since the end of the European Cup, Morata's status in the national team has declined sharply.
Morata has never experienced such an embarrassing situation since her debut against Belarus in November 2013, that is, she was drafted but had almost no chance to play. He has experienced the trough of losing to the national team's roster, such as failing to participate in the Russian World Cup, or losing to the roster twice in a row after Enrique's return. But it is indeed very rare to sit on the bench for four consecutive games and play for only 10 minutes (versus the Netherlands, France, Portugal and Bulgaria).
Now, Morata's situation in the national team is quite complicated. He scored 37 goals in 86 games, a pretty good result, but he seemed at a disadvantage in front of Oyasawar. Real Sociedad striker (17 goals, 11 of which were scored when Delafuente was coaching) is currently the main contender on the front line. In addition, Morata also faces competition from Ferran, Omorodion, Ayoze Perez and Olmo on the front line, and there are even new stars that may emerge from the U21 echelon.
With the upcoming second World Cup and the first time participating in the competition as captain, Morata ushered in an important month. He just joined Cuomo and Fabregas believes he can perform well in Serie A. Morata's performance in Serie A will directly affect his future in the national team. He is eager to play for the national team, and Delafuente is willing to give him a chance. However, the current data suggest that this is not the case.
