Morata plant face the phenomenon Aduriz

Last Friday, moments after giving the squad for the friendlies against Italy and Romania, Vicente del Bosque took a question about the absence of Diego Costa to give a touch of attention to his other strikers: "Let us be clear. They are not at their best. They have often not being met expectations. We demand more performance, yet still come to the selection. "

That reference was addressed, among others, Alvaro Morata . Its irregular season at Juventus is one of the reasons Aduriz landing on the national team. Section title by Dybala and Mandzukic, his meager baggage scorer Del Bosque has led to lay hold of a striker who until recently was not in his plans.

It happens that in the midst of these words spoken by Del Bosque, Morata has played that with security are the two most complete course matches: against Bayern in the round of the knockout stages of the Champions League , and in the Turin derby last day of the Italian League. Against Guardiola had flashes of world crack. He played a sublime game topped with a masterful move: a run of 60 meters which came to leave Bayern to four defenders before attending Square in the second goal for Juve. His change in overtime ended up costing the tie to the Italians. Four days later, Morata also regained his scoring touch against Torino. He scored twice off the bench who signed the incontestable victory of his team.

Thus, Morata reaches this penultimate call before Euro at its sweetest moment of the season, convinced to do battle in the fight for being the battering ram of Spain and attentive to the siren songs that will put back in the Real Madrid next year.

In that battle for being the offensive reference selection Morata will face an excited Aduriz . Athletic striker landed with the illusion of a beginner and certainly overwhelmed by the avalanche of popular support emerged in favor of his recruitment: "I've been very wrapped. I did not expect that much talk me out of Bilbao environment. "

The Basque striker, 31 goals this season, get ready to play "the best" and denies most when asked about the difficulty of being a "nine" pure in the selection: "I do not know how I feel and how I can fit into the team. Here you are some spectacular players and have to be great to play alongside him. To say that the front suffer ... I do not think so. It is true that not play directly with them, but once you get the ball makes it in the best conditions. "
