He is fantastic: Spain would love this Germany star in the squad At the moment, there is a world of difference between the Spanish national team and the DFB team. While Spain are world champions and managed to win both of their Nations League matches against England and Croatia, Germany had to endure a bitter World Cup exit and most recently lost to Greece. Nevertheless, there is one Germany player whom Spain coach de la Fuente would love to have. Asked whether there was a German player he would like in his squad, the World Cup-winning coach replied: "Florian Wirtz, he is fantastic. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a Spanish passport, but I really like the way he plays." Even though Wirtz is likely to feel flattered by that, the answer comes as something of a surprise. Wirtz has continued to struggle recently to reproduce his top performances on the pitch. Perhaps this praise will serve as a boost, though, and Wirtz will shine in the remaining internationals against Serbia and Greece. De la Fuente will probably be keeping an eye on him.
